Okay, so my friend came over to visit and she brought her friend with her (who happened to be a very cute guy). Anyways, I know that i have a LOT going on in life right now, and I do not need a guy...and I prided myself on knowing that I did NOT need a guy...but is it so bad to want one? Him and I talked for awhile, and we have soo many of the same interests. We both LOVE True Crime books (in fact we had a huge book discussion hehe) and both of us love the author Ann Rule. We both broke up with our last SO's at the end of last October, and we have both been hurt. A lot. We seemed to click instantly. I honestly havent felt this since BD. This much happiness over a guy. Im kinda scared, but then again...I dont think he would hurt me. But, ya never know. He's in a band (like my last ex, which was why i was a little unsure in the beginning), but this guy seems genuine. His bands going on tour until mid april, so he'll be gone. We talked about our ideal "loves" and he said that he wants someone that he can fall for, and who will wait for him while hes on tour and stay true to him. I would totally do that. Him being gone would suck, but I havent had this strong of feelings for someone, since BD and we were engaged. Its soon, and very sudden, but I just have a good feeling about this. I guess Im just a little scared.
I dont know why Im posting this really, I just had NO ONE to talk to about this..and I needed to get it all out. Any advice or encouragement is appreciated. If not...thanks for reading anyways! :D

I am glad that you found someone that you feel so strongly about! It is perfectly ok to want a guy! Especially if he is cute! :lol: If I were you I would see how things work out as friends, and if they go good then become bf/gf. Just because you have a lot going on in your life right now, and it seems like he will be busy with his band. In my experience, Its easier for me to open up to guy friends than to boyfriends. If it works out as you guys being friends then ou can talk about becoming something more. GOOD LUCK! YOU DESERVE THIS!!
I am happy that you feel this way. Just take time to think it over and well if it is what oyu want go for it!! You need to listen to YOUR heart!! I hope things work out the way you want them too!!
I LOVE YOU HUNNY!! :P
Thanks girls!! Hes coming over to watch some movies with me today, so I'll lt you know how it goes!!
Good Luck! I can't wait to hear more!!
Aww steph i'm happy you're feeling so great about him, Like everyone else said take it slow and make sure he's really what you think before you jump into anything serious! Good Luck hunny!
Good luck, and keep us posted! I am soo happy for you! I hope it works out for the best!
Well, we hung out and we like eachother but are taking it slow! Hes going away for a month with his band, but he has called me twice today (he just left today) and he said he'll call me every day or every other day and we can talk online and stuff too, and when he gets back..we'll take it from there!
Hey, sometimes your heart finds love when your head isn't looking for it! He sounds genuine, and the two of you are getting along well so far. Continue to take it slow, like you are, and don't project past relationship failures onto him or worry about what happened in the past. He is his own person, and all you can do is take him for what he is, one day at a time. Good luck!
PS I love true crime books, too! :)
Thanks! Im trying REALLY hard to not worry about the past and what happened because he isnt my ex, and he deserves a clean slate!
And...yay!! You can join the true crime book lovers club with us hehe! :D
This is sort of off the subject, but related to true crime...
I also enjoy researching True Crime stories online (umm...usually at work when I'm supposed to be working...sue me! :lol: ) and have found some intriguing stories that haven't yet made it to book form. One story that has haunted me since I read it was the Wichita Massacre. If you're a crime buff, it's worth a read; it's also a brutal story of home invasion and rape, but the strength and courage of the lone survivor (who ran naked through snowy fields with a bullet in her head to get help) and her testimony that sent the perps to Death Row is nothing short of inspirational.
