If he wants you to be more vocal, it sounds like he might actually care...... a miracle (for a guy to actually care).

Is that what he told you to become or you resolved within yourself that is what you are going to change?

i think that something we all need to continuously work at is communication... as women we tend to expect men to understand our needs and wants without us verbalizing it - then we are let down when they can't.

Yeah in short bursts like commercials hahaha. Anything more than that it is just blah-blah-blah to them. They don't like all the emotional stuff or anything confrontational. But yes lay it all out, so that any surprise that come about are the only the good ones.

lol- miracles do happen. i have a problem of opening up, i always have these stupid walls up, i tend to lie about the stupidest things cuz i'm afraid to be 100% honest. I've always been in the mentality that people are always gonna try to hurt me no matter what. Its a sad way to live my life, i need to make major changes., if i want to hold on to him.

a little bit of both. He makes me see the faults i have, he doesn't do it on purpose, but when you meet someone that you admire so much, the way i do to him, it makes you open up your eyes and see the real you that everyone else sees.

yep... but those are all good changes for you, with or without him and it helps you build a good foundation. once you get past all that, things happen in life and in relationships that are humbling, embarrassing, hurtful and humiliating... the one person you should be able to come to with ease, is your spouse hopefully. losing jobs, illnesses, deaths, making bad decisions - these things all happen but it's a great feeling to know there is someone on your side waiting to hug you and help you through it - but first you have to let them.

Yeah- get this Boytoy tells me that I should be sweeter. If I was any sweeter I'd be molasses -fcukness. I swear now I am supposed to be the one to blame. Wow, the audacity! So I was like how is midget sex going for you? HUh! I couldn't help myself. This boy wants to battle me. He has no idea what Pandora has in her box.

exactly! after talking to him, it boggles my mind to see that most of everything we discussed was either miscommunicated or misinterpreted. Its only human nature to take something someone says and think the worst of it. in my mind the things i was telling him was not a big deal, but since i wasn't being very clear and concise with my words, it made him take it to the next level and think the worst.

Just make sure you are on equal ground. No high pedestals for anyone. Admire but don't feed him too much of it. It's never too good to stroke a guy-- I mean-- ego. You're right take it slow because he is probably testing you. Rejection is very hard to bounce from especially when he was sweatin' ya.

I think you hit the nail right on the head. i gotta get out of this demented mentality i have. i've been hurt before, just like everyone else in the world. i've taken care of myself for such a long time i don't know how to let go and let someone else take care of me for a change.

I am trying to. I have my lawyers already on it. I have a psycho magnet that I really need to remove.

he just doesn't seem like the type of guy to take my kindness and willingness to let my gaurd down, for granted. I whole heartedly feel he's not trying to hurt me or run my life, he's always tried to help me and show me how to become the best person i can possibly become.
