Array ( [sid] => 9570 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => So Gentle of a Man… (Love Blues) [time] => 2003-01-01 09:00:00 [hometext] => Well, here I go again. I really like this guy for about 3yrs. And now it just seemed we had some time together and enjoyed the time spent. But friends it remains. He already knows how I feel, but I also know I too have been hurt as he has too. Going slow is fine, but if I cannot even get to hold his hand, or even hug him, just the simple stuff, I guess I am doomed again. What is a gal to do? He is so unsure of his feelings, saying he really doesn’t know what he wants, which I know this is tough on him, but I feel he does, and by the conversations we had, he does know what he wants. So when will he get it, or won’t he? Or am I just going to be that just friend’s thing and he never will be more. Yeah, I know, tell me not to wear my heart on my sleeve, I deserved this. It’s not his fault, more or less mine. For thinking more when he isn’t ready or maybe not wanting more at all. [bodytext] => This one gentle sweet man I know
Seems to care so of others, giving his heart too much
Those fallible few, smooth talking feigned sincerity in tow
Taking his trust ever so lightly, his alone a real honest touch
The real friends, do give, share and take, but also not partake
In using a friendship to see as they want fit
With no regards to what they do; to anyone’s sake
I can see the scars they left behind, still your heart grits
For each hurt that was there, they took confidence and esteem away
Leaving you hurt and scared, alone and confused
Deeming those who choose to care, unsure how to portray
A loving heart, a real friend, help build you up, not abuse
Your always gentle soul, to see you choose for, You
Too gentle and giving, I know it’s your nature
Sweet; But so vulnerable too
Refreshing to see you blush, see you smile, your soul so pure
All of these wonderful attributes, a beautiful treasure
I have in this one gentle, sweet friend
Just friends, as he wants this to be
Time and patience, I’m sure is quite the measure!!
Tough on me, but I know it’s all up to him, slow and not to offend
A friendship with him is truly a gift to me
I wish it more, to just hold his hand, sit and hold him close
But I respect his wishes, he is unsure of what he wants
Being hurt and hurting me is his fear of most
Going thru more pain, and perhaps some old memory haunts?
I’m willing to take a risk and hold him dearer to me,
It’s not an easy step to take, already I cared too much
He’s just uncertain of his feelings, to decide to make it “WE”
So I get bit by that love bug again, my heart did clutch
A real great guy, three years I know him, now I really like to know him
Do I just wait and see, or will he still have cold feet… friends it remains?
Oh boy, here I go again, what a way to start the New Year, tears to the rim
This starting 2003 with heart love pains…

Amber Rose Yeager – January 1, 2003

I could use some pointers here. I'm a littel ole fashion, and like my morals and values of life I strive and live for. However, this fella is sort of more modern, but likes my ways, but is so unsure of things. I'm rather new to this dating thing, that is , if I get to date him, Will he get to this point, ever.... some things for me to do and or what not to do... aside from teh fact, I really do cherish his friendship.... Give me some of your thoughts...... I would appreciate some input, some ideas.... always helps to hear from others.... thanks..
Amber Rose :)

I dated a man just like this for 2 years ...we had an online relationship and it was soo hard because i wanted more and he wasnt ready....but it never seemed like he would ever be ready....i know now that the timing was way wrong for that situation, and that if we had stayed together that today i would still be waiting ....it's a very painful thing for one to go through, all i can say is live your life to it's fullest and do what your heart tells you to do, that's the only way to live....i hope all works out for you Amber, this is a very painful situation to be in....

yes it is. Especially when he gives me earrings for a gift for Christmas, and not cheap either. We were spending time together,and sharing into eachother lives, just talking, as friends would do, but he just wants that, but then he pops in to visit, unexpectantly, it was nice, and then he calls me up to see if Im ok, because he didn't hear from me online. I see him at work, so he is local. I don't beleive in online relationships for a man or woman thing. A friendship is one thing online, but a dating thing online isn't my thing. Anyways, thanks for your thoughts. its what I need to help me along with this. I always seem to get the fellas that just don't know what to do with me. I wonder if I will ever find one who will??? :)
