[QUOTE="TheUnknownSoul, post: 2934713, member: 41374"] [b]Update[/b] Kay and I had spoken on and off for two weeks leading to this. Nothing horribly interesting; though I did get invited to go see Pirates 2 with her (actually, it got mentioned that the movie was opening on Friday and we couldn't make it, and then it became "Are we still going to see Pirates on Saturday?" I got the hint). Yesterday was Cedar Point. 12 solid hours of her and I and nobody else. and rollercoasters. She came over in a slightly foul mood. I found out why, her "aunt" visited her and because of that she couldn't wear a swimsuit on the water-rides, and she had all the classic symptoms. Not the best way to start this day. Got down there with no problems. Even joked about the "bennies" thing. 11AM-7PM: Great time had by all. Aside from my fear of heights, I was fine. She enjoyed herself. good. Drive Home: We talked about the future, career's, life, family, religion, etc. Nothing specifically brought up about us. Pit Stop: Thirty, we stop at a gas station for some drinks. Turns out, everything I suggested to the question "I don't know what to get" was crap. Everything she suggested to me was crap I didn't drink. 5 minute conversation on the benefits and hindrances of Dr. Pepper vs. 7-UP (I don't like Dr. Pepper but like 7-Up, she's the opposite). Back to the road. Finally get back to near home. Stop to local Bar & Grill for dinner. Things still smooth. Then disaster struck. ICEBURG, DEAD AHEAD! On the topic of pets, Kay: "I love my pet, moreso than I do any person. I just don't trust anyone. Not even my folks" TUS: chokes on an ice-cube. Kay: "I've gotten close to people before, and its hurt me. Now, I don't get close to anyone. I can't trust anyone, cuz when I do, I get hurt. So I've stopped, completely." TUS: "Even me?" Kay: "Everyone." The explanation lasts the rest of the car-ride home, plus an hour longer. I plead a case that even if she can't love me, she can TRUST me. She pulls some line about giving up on people, focusing on her career, and realizing she's dying alone, etc. Point blank, she tells me: "You deserve someone good. Someone who will take care of you. I'm not that person. I'm too [messed] up. I can't return all that you'd give me." Game. Set. Match. Despite the plans to meet tonight, we leave in a somber mood. No goodnight kiss, "not on the lips" I hug her and leave. ................. Maybe it was sun, or hormones, or tiredness, but I can't deny what she said. I feel hurt as a potential lover, but I almost feeled betrayed as a friend. That she can't trust me, or won't. So, its time to move on. Keep in contact, but look for new and greener pastures. The time has come. Thanks to everyone again. [/QUOTE]
