Surefire Way to Intensify Your Relationship

I finally agree with Glamour magazine for once. You do develop stronger feelings for a guy if you don't rush things. I used to date a lawyer, but I never had feelings for him and I broke up with him because he said I treated him like he was gay. This was after our first actual date. Besides the fact that he was older and overweight, I didn't like the way he talked about liking to carry around a wad of cash. I think people with real money don't try to impress others with it.

So I stopped dating him after one date because I thought he was boorish. His loss. If he had really liked me, he would have been willing to put up with conversation, so I could develop feelings for him. Something that might have come if he had been more patient. People can lose weight, they can change if they want to. But I really didn't know how to talk about what I really wanted from him at the time, because I didn't really think about what I really wanted.

He wanted me to be a technical writer, and I am more of a poet. And I don't mind writing helpful articles, but I don't think I could be a technical writer. And I never even mentioned the fact that I came from a traditional family where the husband worked and the woman stayed home with the kids and that I hadn't actually slept with anyone yet. And so I went on my merry way. Hoping that I would meet someone I really loved.

That didn't happen until some years later. I became friends with a guy and we spent some time together. And he didn't talk about wads of cash and I thought he was a very supportive kind of guy. And I fell hopelessly in love with him. But he wasn't attracted to me at first. Until he saw how badly I fell in love with him. Then he was all for it. But it turned out he was controlling, and must have been a lot more introverted than me because he seemed really wimpy when he did want me. And I fell out of love with him.

So now I've been talking to a guy about three years younger than me. And I wasn't really in love with him at first, but I still flirted with him. I tried avoiding him because I only saw him on Fridays at the gym, and he showed up on Tuesday all hurt. A year later, I finally could feel like we could actually be a couple if that's what he really wants. But like I said, I don't really know how he feels about me because although he caressed my arm, he could just be doing a not so great job as my personal trainer. And I even asked him to join me at a political club he said he was affiliated with. And he said he'd go, but he didn't, and later her said he didn't enjoy going there before, so I won't hold it against him. But I think if he really did want me he would have showed up. I guess like that book says. He's just not that into me.

But it drives me up the wall when I have to put up with these intolerable flirts who lead women on and expect me to put up with it. I stop being their friend once they start that. Its true. I know it's a little harsh. But I can't deal with someone breathing heavy on me when he's just my friend.

So, even though I made a vow to wait, and I want to really get to know a guy, it has its advantages, like really developing a strong connection, and feeling like you really love him. So although it took a couple years for Glamour to wisen up, I have to agree with their last article.
