To reunite or not
Tue, 07-27-2004 - 2:00pm
Hello All -

I will try to make this as brief as possible.

I had a long distance relationship that ended 6 months ago. We dated for over 7 months, but had come to the point, where he could not handle not being able to see me all the time. He claimed he got too sad when he had to leave and he could not handle the overwhelming emotions that he felt. He also had a bad previous relationship that was long distance for a time.

I was upset and eventually tried to move on. As it was, we were reuinited recently due to circumstance. Although I continually told myself I would not re-ignite this relationship, I did - and it was like no time had past.

Of course, we talked about it and he said that of course he is still not overjoyed about the long distance (well who is), he can't ignore the connection that the two of us already have. He also felt it was time to throw his emotions more out to me because if you don't take that chance, you'll never reap the benefits.

I said - let's just first figure out if we can see each other again. We both had to check our schedules. That was a few days ago. At first, I thought it was a possibility that we might not even talk again -- figuring he would escape into his world as he did once before. But, we did speak throughout the weekend - although not about the relationship at all.

Now, I'm confused as to what to do. I assumed that if he wanted nothing of this, we wouldn't speak. But, we haven't tackled the issue either....I'm also VERY afraid of getting hurt again. I don't want to be pushy because it's not in my nature, yet I feel like I need some sort of answers...>Any advice is appreciated greatly!
