Dear Panel,
I am a single male, 29 years old, recently separated (went
through divorce process, waiting for it to be finalized),
looking for love, miss ex, fell for roommate.
She is 18, recently moved from Vegas. Caring, sweet, attractive.
Is young and she realizes it, wants to explore what is out
there.
I Crave Her
I have a crush on my roommate and feel that I could be falling
in love with her. We have lived together over a month. We
have been intimate a few times, and I crave her. We snuggle,
go dancing and tend to spend almost all of our free time together.
I am 29, she is 18. I have expressed to her that I like her
and look at her as a love interest and would be interested
in making her my girlfriend.
She Says She's Not Ready
She expressed to me that she also likes me, wanted to be
with me but needed time, wasn't ready for a commited relationship.
She is going to need to make some choices regarding her life
and what she will do with it within the next 3 - 6 months.
She is also getting over an ex-fiancé. She said that
she wants to make sure he is out of her head before she proceeds
on a more serious level. I wasn't threatened by that. We kissed
and hugged and held each other. What a wonderful feeling.
Then, the next day she expresses to me (conversation came
up as I mused "I can't believe you like me, I am so happy")
that she is young and wants to explore. She wants to proceed
slowly and since I am 29 and know what I want in a woman,
she is 18 and doesn't. I respect our level of honesty and
commmunication.
I'm Uneasy When Guys Call Her
I don't want to suffocate her and it seems the world revolves
around her, but I don't want to sit on the fence indefinitely.
How long should I wait? I don't want to press for a decision,
but I must say that whenever a guy calls to talk to her, I
am uneasy with it. I haven't let her know about this. Wouldn't
want to scare her away, but don't know if I could handle her
dating or bringing someone home.
Help!!!!
What do I do?
