This past weekend I had a talk with Guy #2. I hadn't planned to do it yet but he must have sensed something. Anyway he started asking if I had soured on marriage, wanted more children, etc. Guy #2 and I have only known each other a few weeks and I just felt overwhelmed. I explained I wasn't ready to think about marriage and that he was pushing for a relationship too hard and too soon. Even after our talk, Guy #2 called today but I have not returned his call.
He took things pretty well but I really think he is just tired of dating and ready to settle down. My talk with Guy #2 helped me realize that I'm absolutely terrified of being in a commited relationship so maybe that's why I'm dating people I'm not attracted to or have nothing in comon with me. It's like Guy #2 and I have the exact opposite situations.
We barely know each other so I know he can't possibly be emotionally attached to me. Being careful and taking it easy sounds like good advice. After my fear is gone, I don't want to end up like Guy #2, latching on to someone just because I'm lonely.
