Why did he ask me to be his woman if he doesn't have time for me?
He is a music producer/musician. He genuinely seemed interested in me from the start. I was asking about business, he would not let go of my hand, and gave me his number. We talked the same day. We went out two days later and he asked me to be his woman. He was extremely affectionate, but respectful. He said he had been off the dating scene for 2 years. Not sure if it was because he was in a relationship. He has a 7 year old. From the beginning he would call me, but could only speak a few minutes before he would have to call me back. He said with clients he could get up to 100 calls a day. This would happen several times during the entire evening. Our conversations are brief at best. Other times he's busy with his daughter. We have known each other two weeks. He spent the night, so we could have some time together, but we didn't have sex. He said that is another level and he doesn't sleep with women right away because they are vulnerable and can get crazy. I can't see how we are supposed to get closer, if he doesn't ever talk to me for more than 5 minutes. Even when he came over, he was so sleepy he fell asleep on the couch right after dinner. He will be leaving for the east to do a concert next month. He asked me if I was patient because of his profession. But how serious should I take him? Is it possible that I'm just a convenience thing -- here just in case? I like him and don't want to give up too soon. But I don't know what to do. Should I wait or date while he's gone? I told him not to break my heart. He said he's a nurturer not a heartbreaker. But so far he hasn't done any nurturing. I know he's busy with his daughter and his business, but he's the one who initiated this relationship. It's only been 2 weeks, should I give up?
Gritting My Teeth and Playing It Out
Thank you. I am sorry for your pain. I do understand. I started to break it off, but I couldn't. I don't like the alternative. Even when I thought I was ending it, it hurt, but I was so glad I experienced being with him than not at all. I don't imagine he has the same feelings for me as I have for him. I know he doesn't, because he will not allow himself to. That's obvious in his actions. At least I know it isn't sex that keeps him calling me several times every day. Without that, I can keep my emotions in check. I'll get back to you and let you know what happens.
