Younger Man, Dating A Separated Women
Here’s the situation…I have been dating
Over the last month, we haven’t chatted at all due to her request because of the Holiday’s. When we finally touched base again by phone shortly before Christmas, we had a great conversation, and decided to grab dinner that evening. When I called her up to arrange dinner, she decided she couldn’t go out that night. I was confused, so I called her back to see if everything was alright, and here I learned she didn’t want to be in a relationship with anyone, and that she’d like to be friends.
I love her, and told her that (first time) after hearing she didn’t want to be in a relationship. After telling her my feelings, she said she was surprised I love her, and that she didn’t know my true feelings. Since I’ve said that, she still wants to hang out, get dinner, and enjoy my company, but still as friends.
Usually, when I hear the word “friends”, it is just a way of saying “I don’t want to be with you anymore, period.” That said, she still talks about wanting to go on vacation together to various places. What should I think of this? That I am just her best friend/travel companion, but never to be a lover, or is this just a wait and see situation until she becomes emotionally free from her divorce (which has been affecting her).
Since I still have feelings for her, I told her that I probably shouldn’t see her anymore because it hurts too much for me not being able to express my affection for her. Usually, when a break up occurs, I cut all ties, and try to forget the woman so I can heal, and move on. This is currently the course I am taking, but now I am wondering whether it’s the correct move. Do you think this situation is any different given her situation?
I figure if she cares for me, she should eventually reach back out to me when/if she wants to. I am worried that by telling her I can’t be her friend for now, she may interpret it wrongly or decide that if I can’t be with her as a friend during a tough time for her, maybe I am not the right person, long-term. So the real question is, is she blowing me off or not, and, if I should continue to be her friend to keep the possibility of a relationship alive?
