That was last Wednesday. Since then, I have received over a dozen e-mails, calls and text messages to my cell phone, and calls to my house phone (my H works late and isn't home before 10, usually). He even offered to bring me some chocolate at work when I was having a bad day.
So...here is my dilemma...a group of people that we are mutual friends with are going out for drinks this week. OM has asked if I am going. I was planning on going, and would really like to go see OM as well as the rest of the group. However, I worry that at the end of the night temptation will take over and I'll be right back where I started. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I am extremely attracted to OM and really care about him.
Any advice? I think I really want to prove that we can be just friends. I know it will be hard, but I think this is what I have to do to protect myself. What if I slip? What if we do kiss (it wouldn't be anything more than that at this point)?

Saturdaysister - I think I am going to take your advice and back off even a bit more. I was able to do it for the past week, I really feel that I can continue. It won't be easy, but I'll try. So far, I have been answering his e-mails and took 2 of his many phone calls, but I just turn my cell phone off most of the time, and he leaves a message. Maybe this will help both of us to sort things out. He can figure out what the heck he wants, and I can try and figure out what I want.
As for the group happy hour, I may go for a bit, but leave early. He usually stays out later, and him and several of the other guys in the group are usually the last to leave. So I may make an appearance, chat a bit with some of the others, then leave. Of course I'll make sure I look drop dead gorgeous before going out. I am hoping it will make him crazy! ;)
Thanks again for all of the support! This is all new to me, and I need all the support I can get. I'll keep you all posted.
