When I first started working after graduation, I was in a pretty bad shape.
I had never been a serial dater, and I was mourning (being ridiculous in retrospect) the loss of my first serious relationship (Actually, it was the one that I thought would lead me down the aisle). I hate to admit on LHCF, but I actually let myself go a little emotionally and physically.
Enter new guy...
I was having an awful day at work, and someone delivered a gift to my classroom. It was from one of my coworkers.
Here are his positive traits:
Christian, Single, Values Marriage and Fidelity, Great Work Ethic, Attractive
Listens, Always seems to call or come by on my worst days
Working on a MA, but also wants to go to law school
Loves his mother who balances a career/family well, Sends me flowers and cards, Product of a two-parent household
So what's the problem? I realize that he is a great catch that I haven't had to pursue. At the same time, I am horribly fearful that I will start loving him, and he will stop loving me. (That's kind of what happened before). I am ready to move on with my life, but I am afraid of being hurt too. To make matters worse, he has been transferred to a different school. Does anyone have any thoughts, because I want to make this work?
***He hasn't said that he is ready for marriage, and I am not quite ready either. I think I would be ready in a year though.
