I like him. He likes me. We 'get' each other. Both fit well in terms of where we are in life/careers/family etc.
We've dated 7 times. That's SEVEN times. And yet he can't bring himself to kiss me, much less have sex. After date 3 it hurt. By date 5 I said I'm going to start but secretly already had seeing other dates. Because we got on so well I suggested we just stay drinking buddies. He seemed happy with this. Tonight he wants to see me, I say I'm busy & don't elaborate. He pushes it to find out what I'm doing so I tell him, I'm seeing another date. He then tells me he doesn't want me to meet anyone else! Unbelievable! Won't sleep with me, can't even get over his 'issues' enough to kiss me & wants me to stay 'faithful' & just sit it out & wait until some time, who-knows-when in the distant future, when he finally feels ready to take it to the next level!!! Ffs. Whoever found kissing hard? I am a modern red blooded woman who needs a bloody good fuck now and then I cannot & will not sit around like the fecking virgin mary. For the record he's 48 & should have got past his kissing inhibitions by now.
Once I lent over & planted 3 very delicate kisses on his cheek. The sort that should let a man know exactly how you feel & I expected him to turn around & kiss me back... Instead he said ' I'm not ready for this'.
I won't even dump & run for the hills. He's so far in the opposite direction I can take a gentle stroll, he'll never catch me up.
