Sorry for the crappy first blog, but I had to get this off my chest.
Once upon a time, I started talking to a friend I met on a popular forum. We talked for a year, becoming good friends.
I witnessed, through MSN Messenger, the breakup of her marriage with arsehole husband (her words), her struggles with illnesses precluding her from working full time, and the difficulties of raising three young girls alone.
Shortly before we met in person, for the first time, in January, we both realised there could be something there between us. As a typical guy, I tried to think of a way out of it because of the kids, or the divorce, or something. But in the end, I couldn't, because I liked her so damn much.
When we met, I had possibly the most awesome day I've had this year so far. And we went about planning on doing something for Valentines day (despite neither of us really enjoying said holiday).
Just as I was about to confirm plans for a fun trip to London, she pulled out, citing 'that time of the month', involving epic pain. On the 15th Feb, I get a text saying "while I really enjoy spending time with you, I don't see it going any further than a friendship". How shit did that make me feel? You can probably guess.
Since then, we've talked a bit on Messenger.
I've enjoyed it hugely, but I'm falling for her more. I have to sever contact, even if it's temporary. I'll hate not speaking to her, but I can't fall in love with someone who won't return it.
Not again.
