Sooooo....

We spent the day together, went to the soccer game, went out for pizza with his son and his two cousins. I've forgotten how much little boys can eat. 24 pieces of pizza between the 3 of them!! And brownies, too.

After we dropped everyone off to their mothers, we went to the movies and saw Grindhouse, and then went to a mexican restaurant for a margarita, and then he took me to see the catholic church he used to go to. We got out and walked around by a pond. It was really romantic. We talked about what we were looking for, and he asked me what kind of relationship I would like to be in in a year, and I asked him...we would both like to be married. He asked me how I felt about him, I told him I liked him...We revealed that we are not each not seeing anyone else.

Wow, it's been pver a month. I am really falling for him. Wasn't expecting this at all. He's just really amazing, sweet, sincere. Still haven't had "sexytime" yet. I am waiting a bit longer. I am really falling for him, and I feel like the longer we can hold out, the mroe intense it will be, not jut physically, but emotionally for me, too.

So glad to hear blondie!! Sounds like your relationship is progressing nicely! Did you guys discuss exclusivity, that you aren't going to date anyone else in the future? I know you're not now..

Glad to hear things are going so well with everyone on the board! Spring is finally here, maybe that has something to do with it.. :)

Gal,


Yipeee, I'm so excited for you that things are going so smoothly. It sounds like it was a wonderful day together and that you are both on the same page! And I'm very proud of you for holding out on making sexytime too, hee! hee! I just couldn't resist last night, it was just to perfect a night, and I have very little self control...


The talking about where you each want to be in a year is great. Curious, did he start that convo? I'm waiting for B. to broach the subject of exclusivity

He brought up the conversation. At first, when he asked me where I'd like to be in a year, I thought he was talking about my career, so when I asked him to clarify, he said, "no, in a relationship." I told him I'd like to be married and have a family in 1-2 years. I asked him, and he said he's like to be married and have more kids in a year.

The exclusivity thing came up when he told me he had JUST got the email I sent regarding dating other people...I told him that when I called him and then wouldn't hear from him for days, it made me think he wasn't all that interested....Well, I assumed he read the email 2 weeks ago WHEN I SENT IT, LOL. No, just 4 days ago. I told him *in the email*that I was looking for some reassurance that we were on the same page, and that since I am looking for the person I will be settling down with, I'd prefer to just date one person seriously. The point I am trying to get at, is that if I felt like he wasn't being sincere, I was going to pursue other dates. However, I didn't really want to....

So, he brought up the email and my face turned bright red. Talk about being put on the spot...I was just trying to enjoy my margarita! He asked me if I was wanting to go out with someone else..rightfully so. I told him no, I didn't, and honestly, I work too much to have the energy *or time*. I told him that I had just felt like he was being flaky a few weeks ago and wanted to make sure it didn't mean he wasn't interested in me. I told him that I really like him, but that it takes a while for me to be won over, and that as I still have a lot to learn about him, and feel like I can trust him, it takes a while to build trust and really get to know someone. And it's true. I am very independent and have no problem finding a balance between me time, work time, love life and family time.

Letting go like this really scares me, and before I do completely, I have to make sure I really know and trust him 100%. However, I think we have the makings of a real thing...

Hey,

I think your BF was just making conversation, and since he's pursuing you,maybe he feels like he's potentially smothering you and doesn't want to.

When R didn't call me for a few days, I thought he was losing interest, but I later found out that he was just trying to give me space b/c he knew how busy I was with work...So, we always assume the worst, men and women alike...

playing devil advocate here, did he say that you two are now exclusive?

He brought it up and talked about it, that's fine. But, did he ask you to be his girlfriend?
