janna1996 Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Hi everyone, I'm new here, and I come to you all with this problem of mine, that I cannot figure out. I'll start from the beginnning... First day of classes this semester, I saw a guy in my one of my business classes. I felt kinda drawn to him, but since I had just broken up with my ex July 4, I let it pass. Well, as luck would have it, we wound up in the same group to work on these dumb projects. After a couple weeks of sitting next to each other, acting like a couple of shy teenagers, I emailed him and asked if he would like to hang out. We went out a couple of times, but I have turned into such a commitment-phobe that I interpreted everything he did as a move to try to get serious. So we backed off and ecided to remain friends. That didn't work too well, seeing as how we both still really liked each other. I told him that I was sorry, but that I couldn't make a commitment. He understood. This was maybe 2 weeks ago. This very last Friday, I text messaged him at work, I can't remeber the reason, but it doesn't really matter. That's when he told me that he was leaving for Iraq this Wednesday, as in 2 days from now. He volunteered. I asked why, and he said he had no family, no significant other, no nothing tying him here. Nothing. I feel now, like not only did I possible miss the chance to know someone wonderful, maybe even love them someday, but I missed it because of my own selfishness. I may never see this guy again, and it's really tearing me up. Someone please just give me some advice how to stop feeling so guilty.
