    Question Am I falling for this guy?

    I had a wonderful date with my new "guy" on Saturday, we took a drive to a neighbouring city and had a lovely dinner...we talked and laughed for hours. We spent a lot of time together last week..getting to know one another, he is now out of town again for 2 weeks for work...and I miss him. Am I falling for him, or is it that I just crave the attention and affection? I feel like this is someone I could really care about....but I don't want it to be a rebound thing..he has expressed he is ready for a serious relationship (not with me necessarily, lol, just with the right girl)...I don't want to hurt him. I am sort of confused as I have only had one major relationship, and subsequently only one "break up" and I wanted some advice...does everyone go through a rebound relationship? Or is it just bad timing, lol?

    Theresa,
    It could be just the need for attention or both. Just take it one day at a time and see what blooms.

    It's always timing but I can say that right after my divorce, I met my current SO and we have been together 8 years.

    You will be in my thoughts..

    It might be a good thing that he is gone for 2 weeks, will help you sort out your feelings. But in all honesty, he sounds wonderful, and your dates sound heavenly. Relax, and trust those feelings!!

    I was thinking the same...the time and distance will be good. He is actually very understanding and said to me that maybe I should continue to date so that I would be able to be more sure whether I wanted to date him or not....but that he wasn't looking to date others. Well, time will tell...but I am extremely happy when I am with him and when I think of him...

    Theresa,

    He sounds wonderful. I'd say take it day by day and see where it leads you.

    He sounds like a wonderful guy. Keep taking it slow and build your friendship together (the foundation of true and lasting love). I'm really happy for you that you have found someone who is special!

    First I want to say I'm really happy for you!! I agree with the others in just taking it day by day and follow your heart. Take it from someone who is seperated by her love due to work....you will know when you are away from them just how much you miss them and if it's real or not. Enjoy the time you have with him and let that friendship get stronger.

    As far as the rebound...I'm not sure. That is a hard one to say. I've immediately started dating someone after a breakup and it lasted for two years. I wouldn't call that a rebound. I would just go with this with an open heart and mind. Don't worry about being hurt because that will just limit yourself to what could be a wonderful thing!!!

    Love like you have never been hurt!!!!!!!

    By the way....where is he going and what does he do? If he is working with some spa let him know that some ladies here on the village need some manicures, pedicures, haircuts, massages, facials....hmmmm - what else can I think of that we all would love to have!!! lol We like to be pampered!!!

    Have fun and enjoy yourself...I'm really happy for you and him! When do we get to see a pic?

    Theresa, he does sound very nice and I am glad that you have had nice times with him. I hate to be the voice of caution here but...(I'm sorry honey, it is the Mom in me, I can't help it) I would be a little leary of someone who wants an exclusive relationship after only 2 dates, even though he said that you could still date others but that he did not want too. I am probably being just overprotective but hey isn't that what surrogate Moms are suppose to do . Have fun but be careful.

    I agree with Kathy. I also wanted to add that you are in the beginning stages of a new relationship. It is a time when the "rose-colored" glasses are on and everything is wonderful Everything is new and exciting! Absolutely take when day at a time. When the novelty of the relationship has worn off and you have settled down, take a good look and see if you are truly where you want to be.
    Best of luck and be happy,
    Sheila
