Steelers6 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 So we started out as "Casual" 3 months ago ... then Christmas shopping for his family, holiday dinners, events with each other ... but NO sexual intercourse because THAT would be crossing the line into a RELATIONSHIP - which at first neither of us wanted to get into but the more time I spent with Mr. X I actually began to like the guy. I'm 42, he's 39. Telling me he needs to try and start to enjoy a single man's world after a 2-year relationship - but still acting like he's in a relationship with me. I'm thinking it's time for me to start making myself less available to him & see how he responds & if he doesn't then cut my losses & move on...any oher thoughts out there?
alphamale Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I'm thinking it's time for me to start making myself less available to him & see how he responds & if he doesn't then cut my losses & move on... superb idea
Lishy Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 yep! Best idea! Dont tell him why or lay down the law just dont be around so much and then you will know where you really stand Sometimes we dont see what is right infront of us!
Author Steelers6 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 Interesting thus far, I've just got to be firm & NOT answer his calls and not be so quick to respond to his texts. I've NEVER needed to "play the game" with any man, but then again, I've really never wanted a man like I want this one. Gosh, this just really sucks! Thanks for the input as well as the 'list' Alphamale! He really is clueless...has always gotten everything just handed to him in life - you all know what I mean. Well I guess he's going to actually have to work for me since (in my humble opinion) I am worth it, although I'm the one putting forth most of the damn effort!
Lishy Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 do you not think you are taking a few phone calls a bit seriously?
New_Life08 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I think you have it pegged just right. I think you should back off on availability. He obviously doesn't know what he wants and thinks there is some glamor in playing the field. Just wait til he runs into what's out there...LOL.

Gosh, this just really sucks! Be very careful or you will get your heart broke. If he likes you, he will pursue you. Make HIM "play the game"
