I'm not sure how many men read your page but I do and enjoy it immensely. Any advice you can give on the following would be appreciated:
A year or so ago I started fooling around with this girl I work with (we were pretty good friends already). Turned out she was having some problems with her boyfriend of 5 years and if we were out drinking we'd inevitably have a drunken fumble sharing a cab home. Occasionally she came over to my place for a bit but we never went as far as sex. I slowed it down after a while as it was getting a bit much and then before Xmas she finally split from him for good and moved in with a friend.
i bought up the idea of us getting together but - as expected - she said she needed some time to sort her head out and get her life together. Fair enough. Thing is since she's become single we dont hang out at work as much (lunchtimes etc) and she doesnt email/text me that often. I've bought it up and she insists we're cool and theres no problem, she's just having a hard time adjusting to her new life etc.
PROBLEM - I cant stop thinking about her, am pretty much in love with her (its love not lust as far as I can tell) and too make things worse I just got moved into the same department as her so I'm around her all fucking day! I'm really making the effort not to be in her face all the time but also trying not to ignore her completely. I also have a feeling that if/when she starts seeing someone else its going to fucking kill me!
HELP!
(apologies for the long rant. I tried to keep it short!)
Hey Anon,
Sorry for the late reply on this.
To be honest, people who have just come out of relationships are general ‘car crash’ types. It takes a really co-dependant person to jump straight into a new relationship.
Do you REALLY want that? Unless she is totally heartless, she will still be thinking of her ex despite whatever went on because feelings generally don’t just disappear over night unless you jack up on crack which is NOT something I would suggest to anyone.
Best way to deal with this is take your time. I’d say keep pimping for now and then when she comes round, maybe something will work out?
Easy up dude.
Love,
Mother Cougar
