ORIGINAL: LadyBlaze433 It may seem like I'm all over the map, but even though I care for him and I'm letting the feelings develop, I still am resolved that if he doesn't make a firm date very soon to come here in December, I'll have to make the conclusion that once again he's stringing me along. I want to believe that he's sincere, but at the same time I have to accept that possibility that he's not. I hope that makes sense. This is what I was driving at earlier. Your emotions do seem to be all over the map, and you're posting them publicly before you even give yourself enough time to sort them out. That will complicate things, as you have seen. I'm glad you're setting goals for yourself, those are very important. And as for whether I can relate... I am in a LD relationship with my girl right now, and that's not always the easiest thing for either of us. We have spoken of future long-term arrangements, but since she has a masters degree to complete, it's nothing that will happen tomorrow. In fact, we discussed this last night, and I told her exactly how I feel (which was abridged and posted to my journal on the other side, but for the sake of convenience... "If I have to take you somewhere halfway around the world and build you a house with my own hands, I will - to live with the woman I love and that I need to be with."). We have been together in person several times, and will continue to do so until we are together in a more permanent fashion. December will bring us together again and I look forward to that, even though we also talk through text, CMail, phone and Skype daily (yes, all of them). We have bumps - who doesn't? - and we work through them. I am reminded of a comment offered to me by littlewonder, who said on another thread: quote:
ORIGINAL: littlewonder ah yes...the fluffy romantic marriage for the first 6 months when all the bells and whistles and fireworks are going off. After that it's pick up your socks and put them in the hamper, don't forget to take out the garbage, is dinner ready yet? Did you pay the electric bill? etc.... lol If you make it past the first 6 months then we'll see how fluffy romantic it is.  I didn't mind her comment at all, it made me chuckle and appreciate that she was kind enough to share her thoughts for my own well-being. She didn't have to, but she did. Now, my girl and I, we're at that point, and the romance is not only there, it grows. I hope you find the same thing, OP, and I'm glad you're tempering your hopes with a little common sense.
