Well, after going back and forth on things, ***** and I are officially only friends. There are feelings that go deeper but at this point it is for the best to distance myself. He is in transition in many ways and needs to have space...not have to worry about keeping another person in mind. I know that I am very emotional and he is very practical...under the best of circumstances we balance each other out. In this situation I feel like I failed in some ways because I let myself feel more than I should have. I have never been able to remain distant from people or emotionally detached...especially if I feel a connection to them. I wish I could be more disconnected sometimes...then I wouldn't have to worry about getting hurt.
