Barbara, please trust your instincts! We woman have trouble doing that because we are programed to "make nice, make peace". The Gift of Fear by Gavin DeBecker is an excellent book about just that. :hug:

Hi Barbara!! I think that you should not rush or run!! My advice...if you don't mind....just stay in the day Barbara!! Enjoy each day one day at a time...negative memories of the past can stay put where they belong..in the past and fears or uncertainties of the future stay put where they belong...in the future...they can't wreck your present day if you leave them where they belong!:hug::hug::hug:I wish you joy and happiness Barbara! You are such a wonderful person!
By the way...I am with Mari! I am enjoying reading your posts as well!! Take Care:hug:

THere is no need to rush this...none at all.
Enjoy your time with him....continue dating...don't make assumptions.
Give him space, you need yours as well.
time is your best friend.....

Hi all,

Well, I've told Chris that him and I need to take things a lot slower. He agreed. I think if he calls me back that I'm going to tell him friends only. He drinks way too much. My instincts tell me to end the love affair. How could I have ever let myself start it to begin with. Loneliness, boredom, and booze make for a dangerous combination. I feel so ashamed. He left my place right after drinking one cup of coffee.
