It's been a few months now and I'm totally smitten. I don't see you as often as I'd like but understandable; you're just out of long term relationship, only a few months before we met, and you have a busy life with your children (which I totally support and encourage). I want to see you more often (I miss your touch...your companionship...the laughs we share), but I'm afraid if I suggest this or put any pressure on you I will lose you forever. You're the strong, silent type, and I feel you're holding back, possibly due to the same fears I have of not wanting to put pressure on. You are nothing like anyone I've ever had a relationship with in the past. We're "exclusive" as you say and you initiated that conversation shortly after we met. I think I'm in love with you and I think I'm ready to say it but as long as we're "in hiding", I'm not so sure the timing is right. I am so afraid of doing/saying the wrong thing and I certainly don't want to lose what we have. Why is it so difficult for people to say what then mean/mean what they say without fearing negative results? Help!! —Why Is There No Manual For This?
