My GF goes out of town for work often. An organizer from another city invited her to do a presentation and payed for her trip-- this is typical. Yesterday she tells me that this organizer lives in the city, but got a room for himself in the same hotel he booked her in, because he wants to be nearer to the conference. When she arrived he suggested they drive together to the empty conference building that hasn't started yet to scout it out and prepare. She didn't feel the need, but he insisted. The place was closed and they drove back to the hotel where they're both staying. I text my GF around dinner and she never responded for an hour which is out of character of her. No worries, just odd. Then we have a phone call tonight and at the end of it she casually mentions that the organizer invited her to have dinner with him one on one after the conference. That made me feel slightly uncomfortable, so I asked her "Does this guy like you?" and instead of answering the q...

Well, first things first. I'll be 40 in July. Never been married, no kids (both by choice). My last relationship lasted about 3 and 1/2 years with a woman my age. It ended amicably. I work as a waiter at a fairly well-known restaurant. I've been doing the job for twenty years. I tried a "real job" for a while, but honestly I make more money serving. I'm friends with everyone, but I never go out drinking or partying with them after work. Here lately I've developed my first crush since my last relationship ended. The only problem is, she's fifteen years younger than me and happens to be my manager. She wasn't my manager when I developed this crush, she got promoted. She's really sweet, relaxed, isn't too concerned with partying nonstop, has a good head on her shoulders, is responsible and attractive. I can't help but feel attracted to her, and I work with a lot of girls even younger than her that flirt with me. I don't flirt back, becau...

It may sound cliche, but I’ve (F34) honestly never felt as good about myself until I really started putting all this love I have towards myself. I need it more than anyone right now. I stopped obsessing over getting into, keeping and letting go of relationships with men and put all that energy towards my own happiness. I have an amazing group of friends that love me for me and not my relationship status. I realized I needed to do the same thing. Now I’m focusing on figuring out what the hell I really want to do with the rest of this life and how to get there. On my own. I’m not closing myself off to the prospect of love, but I’m not going to stress about it anymore. I’m pretty awesome all on my own and I’m enjoying getting to know myself.

Good luck figuring things out, and I hope you feel better, however you end up identifying. And sometimes, writing things down really can do a lot of good. It let's you get your thoughts on paper and see just what it is that you're struggling with, which can sometimes make things clearer. April 10, 2019 at 04:40AM
