I met this woman through an online dating site. We were dating for about 2 months and things were going great. We enjoyed talking and spending time with each other. She’s a single mom with one year old daughter and a widow due to her husband passing away from drug use. Because of this and other past relationships she had trust issues and needed to take things slow. So after 2 months or so I had 5 major events hit me in my personal life. I responded to that stress in my life by putting more emphasis on her because it took my mind off of what I was going through. Things started to change with us as she wasn’t in a big hurry to get together anymore. We were still talking on a regular basis but the conversations seamed forced. After a few weeks she sends me a text that she’s been thinking and doesn’t think we should get together. She said that her feelings for me were not as strong as what I expressed for her and I seam to have a lot going on in my personal life. She hoped I understood and wasn’t mad at her. I have ton of respect for her and said that I wasn’t mad and knew things have been off with us. I didn’t contact her after that. I truly didn’t expect to ever hear from her again since we had no prior relationship
So after a week or so she started responding to things that I put on Facebook. We sent a couple funny memes back and forth through IM. At that point I found this site and started No Contact. I’ve done a lot of work on myself and getting through the personal issues that I was dealing with. I’m in a great spot now and feel great. I’ve gone out on dates and started talking to other women online. The out of the blue she sends me a text two weeks ago asking how me and my daughters are doing. We responded back and forth a couple of times and left it at that.A couple days later I sent her a Memory text which she responded well to. So following the advice online we have been taking things slow and texting each other every few days getting a little longer each time. Her dog was hit by a car this past week and passed so I was able to be there for her through that which she appreciated. It almost feels like we are feeling each other out a little bit to see what direction this may go. So I’m thinking my next step my next step is to send her an Elephant in the room text apologizing for things that happened in the past and talking about how my person issues put more pressure on her and came across as insecure and needy. I’m pretty sure that I will be able to get her to meet up with me at some point in the future. Does this sound like I’m on the right track?
