relationship that he was damaged as well as I was damaged. He had picked up some not so good habits from previous relationships. Not like he was abusive or anything. It was that he was use to doing everything for those other girls. Telling them what they should do, and doing everything with them. I on the other hand am different. I am more independent. I do not rely on a man to run my life. I am what my mom calls me a free spirit who can't be tied down but even free spirits need to love and I want a man who can compliment that.

He was mesmerized by the idea of this ideal woman and in meeting me he thought that I was that. I was flattered and I was looking for a man that he was turning out to be.

I would tell him I was busy and still try to make me have a conversation with him. I don't like that. If your busy your busy and I'm at work and so was he but he didn't care.

From then his little suggestions, even though I only mentioned one, was then turned to I want you to to this to you need to do this. At the time I wasn't being any better. I explained to him that I am new to him and that I didn't want to ruin things by moving to fast. Not to sound that his bad habit was not bad. I told him from the beginning that I get commitment scared. He was fine and was accepting of that or just said it to not sound like he didn't want to disagree. Whatever the reason. More and more of us was being discovered.
