I've met someone recently. He is completely inappropriate and already involved in a long-term commited relationship. We have exchanged emails and gone for long wooded walks....under the banner of 'friendship.' Some of the emails are romantic but some are quite platonic. Conversations are wonderfully funny, challenging, stimulating and comfortable. He is a beautiful soul and he can read my mind.
Until today, I was able to maintain the pretense of 'friendship' but this afternoon, a dozen white, long-stemmed roses came to my door.

That's not a 'friendship' gift is it? I don't know what to say or how to address this.
See, I have baggage. So much baggage that I drag a caboose the size of Texas around behind me just to house it all.
The ink on my divorce decree is 3 days old. I have very little self-esteem or confidence but I give the impression that I have lots. I can't stand the way I look since I've gained weight because of the stress of the last year. God I hate cellulite. I have little trust in men since being abused in childhood and a bad marriage.
Those are just MY hang-ups. He has a girlfriend, a long-time one. He has a role in my life right now that renders him completely untouchable.
Someone talk to me about this. I'm not used to this kind of complication. I have only had one man in my life and that was my ex-husband. I dated in highschool but it was frivolous and superficial dating. I met my ex-husband when I was 17 and stayed with him until he left me for another woman.
I'm not on Sex in the City, I have no idea how to think, let alone how to act here.
Any advice would be appreciated so much. PM me if you like. I'm so out of touch with relationship reality.
thanks
