I emailed Susie to ask about her weekend, and to tell her what I had been doing (buying a new sofa). Then I casually mentioned that I had met someone online, and that we had agreed to meet up in a couple of weeks. Her response shocked me a little.
"I probably shouldn't say this, but I felt a slight twinge of jealousy about your new date. But I sincerely wish you the best. Let me know."
So let's see, either I feel guilty for seeing other women and make Susie jealous in the process, or I don't and make her 'uncomfortable' that I am waiting for her! I can't win!
But I am delighted that she is admitting to having more feelings for me than perhaps even she expected. I still don't think she is ready for a relationship yet, but I am not entirely sure how to deal with this situation. I don't want to confront Susie about it; that will just push her further away. I also don't want to make her feel jealous or uncomfortable. So what do I do? See other women, but lie about it??
It is becoming clear to me, though, that this is not making either of us truly happy.
