I don't want to put my heart out there any more

[brendav1]

well a couple of weeks ago I saw one of my friends (we dated in high school) that i have not seen in a long while. As soon as I saw him I felt butterflies and din't know what to say. Well as the night progressed I felt a vibe coming from him and i'm sure he felt my vibe. So in my head i was like make a move but i didn't so we hugged and he went home. As weeks passed by i thought about him but I also thought about how he just got out of a relationship and what if he doesn't see me like that and what not. So after over thinking i finally decide that i want to tell him. so i log in to my account and got to my fiends list and BAM i see his picture is of him and his ex Jessica So i ask him if their back together and he says yes so i'm heartbroken but i don't let him know. But as we talk more and more all i want to do is yell it. So i say if things were different would you want to be with me? 1st he says idk and then he say actually i was thinking about that ever since i saw you. And that makes me smile. But as we talk more about it i can tell he is not gonna leave his girlfriend for me, so i ask him do you like me? and he says when im around you i miss what we had. And i say No I'm not asking if you miss the past I'm asking if you like me for who i am today. And he said yeah... as a friend... And it just broke my heart. I want to be his friend cuz i care for him. But It hurts to see him happy with the other other girl when i want to happy with him in his arms :[

`Brendav1, I will try to make this simple as if I get too involved in explaining I may break down a cry again.
I use to work in a bar in Fond DU Lac, Wisc. I was shooting pool, making drinks and general barkeep work. in walked this angel named Peggy, she caught my eye and then my heart within minutes of seeing her. the owner had showed up and was also bar keeping. so I played a friendly game of eight ball, I lost , normally I don't loose so easily but this time I sure did, then she wanted to give me a chance to regain my manhood. so we played darts, I lost, we played several more games of chance and I lost them all to her. I ended up paying for her breakfast at 2 am after bar closes. three years later to the date she married me. I loved her she was my friend , my lover, my wife, my world. 20years later in Madison, WI she went to the doctors for what she thought and they did too was pre menopause. it later turned out to be advance lung cancer. I was crushed, in 2002 she passed. I have a broekn heart that may never mend, but I hold out hope that some day some where my angel will walk back into my life and my heat will beat wiith that joy again till then I live one day at a time.

`he left me emotionally. chatting on websites and playing xbox. meeting new women in both places. meanwhile i'm finding it hard to connect with anyone. i miss him terribly but maybe for the wrong reasons. he took good care of me financially but the love he had for me is so far gone. i wish he would just love me again. i wish i could fix whatever he's going through that makes him turn away from me. i miss him.

Ive been on the hook, lied to, strung around, cheated on and many other things, even though there's a lot of pain right now you'll be over it sooner than you think, i recently got out of a relationship where i was there for her at anytime she needed me, and in return i get to find out she had S-- with another guy 3 days after it happened...by her telling me it happened. The only reason i keep going is because life is a learning experience, and while alot of those lessons may hurt they are essential life experiences, id rather know what i went through than be ignorant of the dating world, we all deserve love, and if we have to crawl through barbed wire to have it so be it, im not letting the bad times keep me down :)

`On a lot of the dating sites I encounter, it always seems to be the men who get put down for lying etc.

However, I think I must be one of the most deceived and double-crossed guys out there. I give honesty and respect out and very seldom get it in return.
