Did you do anything to let him know that you were attracted to him?
That's a problem area for me and I admit it. I second guess my self a lot and am almost pathologically afraid of rejection.
We live in different towns now but he did pop in for a short visit last year. I had written him and he wrote back right
away and said he wanted to keep in touch but I didn't hear from him for 5 years. He has my email and said he would
keep in touch but he doesn't. I think he does like me but for whatever reason is not in the market for a relationship.
Perhaps because he is the oldest and as his late father was an alcoholic he has long been sort of "head of the
family" as well as head of the family business. His brother was quite ill with kidney disease and lived with him before he
died. He's married to his family i.e. He's kind of a lonely guy, seen by others sitting in the Waffle House at midnight
drinking coffee and reading a book. I'm OK. When I first saw him I thought that I would never fit in his world. He didn't
look to be my type socially. He is a white collar financial consultant and I was a bartender and now I'm pretty much a
janitor. He keeps telling me I can do anything. He's wrong, but it's nice to hear I guess. He has never asked me for
anything. We just drink coffee and talk. It was when I decided he would never make a move and was not interested
that I became involved with my son's father. Oh, now you've got me going johnc.
