Dilemma

As you know from the previous post I have been busy. Busy trying to not be hurt because cute neighbour guy doesn't know what he wants. For a few weeks it was all full on and then I asked him outright if he was willing to be my boyfriend. I know that you're not supposed to do this but really seven months is long enough surely to decide if you like a person enough to do more than have a cuppa with them. I knew after the first week but then I do tend to operate at super sonic speed. His answer was vague and confusing, so I took it to be a resounding NO. Luckily having wept several continents previously I was able to avoid being washed away this time. I met someone else online and we decided to meet. It was fun, it was relaxed and it definitely has potential to continue. So we met severl more times and then he asked to meet the kids. Then my youngest let slip to cute neighbour guy mummy had a boyfriend. Funnily enough cute neighbour guy's reaction was that he thought he was my boyfriend. Maybe I'd skipped off to another planet during that discussion!! He then said he was ready to see where things might take us, if I wanted to.
My dilemma, what if he's only doing this because he doesn't want anyone else to have me. Should I trust him given that he's inadvertently hurt me twice now. My heart says him, regardless of the pain, but my head says new guy is a much happier and healthier option. See how dizzy my head is with it all.

Cute (but on the fence) neighbour MAY have seen the light at the prospect of losing you OR this could just be a knee jerk reaction on his part and it will pass.
Only time will tell.

Great to have you back in blogland, Ally! But so sorry you've been hurting due to Cute Neighbour Guy...And you so happy! Cute Guy sounds very on the fence all of a sudden. Why to guys do that?! Perhaps Cute Guy needed a little push? But not fair as he has hurt you twice now with all this. Having experienced such--once upon a time before finding lovely Dear Husband-- the non-committed type continues to hurt. Try the New Guy out--healthier and happier sounds wonderful. Listen to what your gut tells you. Don't be afraid, trust your instincts. Either way I hope very much for a happy outcome for you! Wishing you all the best... Be around when you can. :o) ((HUGS))

Oh no. What a decision to make. If it was me I would want to know hat was happening and would ask mr neighbour exactly what he wanted and tell him my feelings, then see what happened from there.
Best wishes. x

Well, since I'm still learning to trust my intuition, I hesitate to say anything at all, but... How 'bout if I just say a prayer that it all works out as it should?

Men do know what they want. They just want to be the ones to act on it. Despite forty years of womens' lib, some things just never change. You've shown your cards. The next move is up to him. And it should be clear and straightforward and not subject to 'interpretation.' Until and IF then, happy and healthy sounds great.
Do not allow yourself to be 'dangled'. Chloe
