ORIGINAL: lilmisssubmiss Ok, well first.. I met this dominant couple on here months ago. We get along over the phone great. I was always asked when I could come out this last summer... I was working a lot though and the trust wasn't quite there so of course we decided to wait. They ended up doing this project on a house of their dreams and it turned into a huge ordeal where they have build the house on the property up before they can tear it down.. I don't really know how to explain it, lol. But, he's been taking.... I'd say at least two months on this house. We use to talk a lot.. but now it's dwindled down to where we barely talk. Today is the last day before the appraiser? comes so he said it'd be more back to normal after today. We will talk a lot more. So if that doesn't happen..should I just say bye at this point? (continue reading to answer that question please) One of the times through this whole thing I talked to him on the phone and he seemed way stressed, but he was still really nice to me..but i could tell he was dealing with a lot. I mean, but It's been 2 MONTHS NOW. I talked to him on the phone a couple of days ago and he mentioned the plane ticket and getting me out there, he promised we will be talking a lot more before that happens (but it's kind of hard to believe that right now). I mean, he seems soo genuine and sincere. I usually can tell right away if someone isn't and my gut is usually right..only problem is..i have no idea what my 'gut' feeling is at this point..no idea. His wife who I really adore... i guess is always up at the house and doesn't get reception so I haven't talked to her since this whole thing has happened...not at all...which is a little weird to me... I have no idea what to think or do at this point. Am I just being silly? Is it really just the fact I can't be a priority right now because the house is a huge deal (i mean ..it's a matter of having a place to live for them..)...am i being unreasonable and impatient? He says i have nothing to worry about..their feelings for me haven't changed at all it's just the situation..but i don't flipping know. I have attachment issues and with people I haven't met face to face I seem to have this huge problem with thinking they are going to ditch me and it really bothers me with people i really care about. Christ...another new young one who wants things right now. I'm 36 yrs older than you and you might think that age is what develops patience but it isn't...if I'd acted like you at your age, I would not have wound up with the degrees I have, the wife I had, the cars I had, nothing. You make it sound as if remodeling a house happens in the time span that Mr. Enthusiastic from Extreme Home Makeover does it...in an hour. It doesn't happen that quick. They've got a reasonable excuse for sounding stressed AND for not talking to you as much as they did. The only thing I will grant you here is that if they knew they were taking this project on, they should not have been taking you on at the same time. Do as others suggested...set a deadline for yourself (only you know how long you are willing to wait) and leave yourself open to others.
