I need a little advice

This is probably the wrong place for this, but what the hey...

So I've been seeing a woman since the end of May/beginning of June, and I thought everything was going great. I was starting to feel better about myself, and really looking forward to having a woman friend I could talk to about stuff.

When we first started chatting, we would email/text each other several times a day. We've spent time at each other's places, and we've seen a movie together. Again, I thought everything was going great.

Where things start getting confusing for me though is that we haven't seen each other in 3+1/2 weeks, and communcation has pretty much dropped off. She only emails me when I email her first, and I have had to wait for days to get a reply. The one week was "I'm busy...", the next week was "I'm busy doing nothing", and last week I called her on it, because I was feeling rather dejected. She apologized and said she was busy (again). That was Thursday, and she still hasn't sent me an email to see how I'm doing or anything.

I really think I've been had, but someone I know online has a different opinion, he thinks I have a hell-bent desire to screw up any relationship I have. Now, I'll admit I haven't had the best track record in terms of dating, in fact, I can count the number of women I've dated with my fist (without any digits). That's not say I haven't tried over the years, but I've just never had anything close to what people would consider a dating relationship.

Sometimes I wonder if I should start hanging out at the LGBT bar in town, but I've heard some weird stories about that place, and I'm not really comfortable trying to meet women there while still in guy-mode. I really wish I could go out en-femme, but I'm nowhere near passable yet.

I feel so lost right now. I feel like letting her go, because if we don't talk or see each other, then is she really my friend? I can't take the waiting game anymore. I just wish I had someone I could talk to on a semi-regular basis, who can nurture my desire for a close relationship. I could try bringing it up with her again, but I really don't think it's going to get me anywhere.

Argh! (ok, rant over I guess) :hairpull:

I am not going to try to give anyone relationship advice - my experience has all been in failed relationships and I don't think that is what you are looking for.

We all want someone to be here for us when we need them, I try to be there for others when they need me.

Relationships are tricky because they involve two personalities as well all of the baggage that each brings with them.

Love ya,

Dear,

I am completely horrible at dating myself too :( All I can say is that you should back off with this person and don't be too pushy. If she is telling you that she is busy then don't push it and let her initiate an email to you when she is ready. I know that this is easier said than done, but try not to be too clingy. I have lost relationships myself by being too clingy. Give people their space and if they want to be with you they will be clear about that.

Love

Brenda

Geez, I don't have much experience at this sort of thing either. But I'll offer this advice just the same: if it was me, I would tell her as nicely as I could how I was feeling about the situation, and ask her to level with me, and that I would appreciate honesty more than anything. I would tell her I really enjoy her company, would like to continue being her friend, but need some reassurance that I;m not wasting my time.

The ball would then be in her court. Of course, you have to be willing to accept the rejection that might follow. But for me, that would be better than wondering what's going on.

But, that's me, and I'm not you. I wish you luck.

I totally get at what you're saying... I didn't want to be clingy, so that's why I've been sitting here unpatiently. There are ways for me to occupy my time, but it still begs the question, should I really be waiting for someone who can't take 5 minutes out of their day to send an email, out of the kindness of their heart? Personally, I say no, but that's just me... Maybe my expectations are too high.

Time will tell, let her know you are still on the face of the earth, but be ready to move on. If you have some good hobbies or are involved in community service or even church activities, it will take your time, and improve your chances for more relationships even if your ships have passed in the night going in different ways.

Another week has gone by, and still nothing. I sent her an email letting her know I'm moving on. I can't wait the rest of my life for her to talk to me.

Thanks for the replies, I guess I'm gonna try this again. :dunno:

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out.

      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets.

      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.

      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
