Folk, your man sounds so lovely, like you emotionally intelligent and articulate. So happy to hear your news.
pinklaydee, I didn't realise you were a name changer, sorry to hear about Mr Kids, Last update I read, I'm sure it was going well, so I am sorry to hear it didn't work out.
I am feeling much the same as regards doubts and insecurities, this for me is a new concept. In the past all the guys I have known have been very upfront, confident and articulate, they chase, they talk and do the emotional stuff, I just go along for the ride. This time is very different. I get texts saying "do you love me then" or " I want you to fall in love with me" this leaves me perplexed and confused, I feel like he is digging, maybe goading and expecting that if I said yes, he might drop me off a large cliff!! I usually find a witty retort but now I have fallen for him. Very early on, he said "I love..." stopped himself and then said "I love being with you" A few weeks back he said he wasn't sure about us, he then bombarded me with texts and calls. I then get cold feet and say "I'm too busy, I can't do this now, I need to focus on other aspects of my life" I left it for a week and then text a casual "Hi", he immediately rings me. I know he likes me, but I think he is too insecure to jump in with two feet.
So like gigglygirlygirl I too need to know, how can I get round to opening up a meaningful dialogue, and should I just tell him I love him...I do. I so wish I was like folk emotionally articulate.
