Oh, Chatty, I hear you!!! I so appreciate your very blunt asssessment of what I'm doing! This man has kept me dangling with just enough...but not enough! I am an educated woman, and I know better...I do!!!

During our last visit (the snowstorm), he gave me his guitar to play. I brought it home. Now I have it, and don't know how to handle it. One of my other friends says, "Keep the damn guitar!" Certainly my self respect is worth more than a material object, so I am just waiting to see how he wants to retrieve it. I am thinking it would be best to leave it outside for him to pick up!...without me being home.

I felt I was "in love" with this man. He made it clear he was not in love with me...only feeling "concern" in the clinical sense.

I know I have to feel the pain of this and move on. It's just so hard!
