[QUOTE="Montague68, post: 2919767, member: 41717"] Teflon Billy put it right, as did others here. If I may be so bold as to lay down the skinny on what is happening here, I'll do so from my 38 years of experience on this rock, and this might be a little blunt so forgives me: She likes you. She cares about you. She doesn't find you repulsive. And you fill a need for her. She may date you for a while, she might even boink you. But you don't instill the heart-throbbing, sweaty-hands, oh-my-God-ravish-me feelings for her, and you never will. And she knows this. She knows, perhaps subconsciously, that someday she will meet Mr. Swoon and that she's gonna hurt you something fierce. If I had a dollar every time I've seen this I'd never have to work again. Ignore the talk about her "loveless relationships" and "afraid to love again" crap, because it's doublespeak nonsense because she doesn't want to hurt your feelings. Women and men both use those words as crutches to explain misgivings about a potential mate. You had a bad experience with your former girlfriend - you really worried about getting hurt? Hell no! You'd take Kay in a minute. And she would take you too - if she felt the same passion for you. But she doesn't. You need to write her off emotionally Unknown Soul. Quit fantasizing about her, get her out of your head. Unfortunately this usually means cutting off all contact with her. If you can do it and still be friends with her, all power to you, but from my experience that isn't the case. The first, foremost, and ultimate thing ya gotta remember - she's just one girl. You're not doomed to loneliness for all eternity if you let her go. Get out there, put out feelers (not literally, ye pervert!) and get out into the world. Trust me when you get the right one, you'll know it. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
