I have very strong feelings for a friend of mine, we met in nursing school 8 years ago and we became close because we were going through similar marriage issues at the time. My wife passed almost 5 years ago and she divorced her husband around the same time. 4 years ago we reconnected and got real close again but she was dating someone, who turned out to be a big piece of crap, but we kept it talking and getting closer. She even admitted that she was getting the emotional relationship from me that she wasn't getting from him. She dated him until a few months ago, I dated as well but never connected with anyone like I have with her. She started reaching out much more again and my feelings resurfaced. Sometimes it seems like she's interested and other times I'm not sure. I don't know what to do with my feelings, should I bury them, talk to her about them, or just realize that it's not meant to be?

Maybe it feels like she's not sure because she's being cautious sometimes too.
Honestly, if this was me, I'd try. I'd reach out pretty consistently. I'd ask for time together; walk, coffee, gaming,whatever. And you CAN do both; you can be vulnerable and available, but cautious. After connecting a few times, just saying, "I really enjoy my time with you. I'm sure you know I find you attractive. I'm just being cautious about letting those feelings grow because I'm not sure where you're hoping for this to go." RDMercer |
