So I'm in DC tomorrow (6 am flight there) and then back on Friday (7:30 am flight EST) to then drive to Crystal Lake to stay with friends so Beth can do the OWS there on Saturday to then drive to Racine, check in at hotel and at race site, drop off the bike, go to dinner, go to bed and wake up Sunday to do my first HIM. I'm nervous as hell!

The days, nights have been magical and the spark, chemistry between us.....well amazing.  I dont want it to end but him leaving today for a week is a harsh reality and I understand all the pieces of the puzzle. He is not interested in a long term relationship.

That's tough. I assume you are?

I don't plan on staying in Chicago forever but cant move until my kids are older.  In terms of long distance, I would not mind trying it?  But in my heart of heart I doubt it has long term potential?

NRG42 - 2012-07-11 11:43 AM Hey TAN, anyone ever fall in love with someone where the relationship was almost impossible to manage or maintain?

Yes.  It makes it hard.  Very hard.

can you be "just friends" after?

I've tried .. but I don't think we can ever be just friends because I miss all the other parts we had.  Polite and caring to each other, sure .. but not close like when we were together.  That kind of emotional intimacy is gone.  That is what I keep as my gift for the special man in my life that gives that also to me.

I met someone about a year ago, I was out running and a bad storm moved in very quickly.  In order to save my phone and ipod, i sought the closest shelter.  I went into a small bar right off Mich ave.  I sat down at the bar soaking wet and a man was next to me texting on his phone.  He was smirking and laughing at his text messages as he looked up at me.  When our eyes met, I'll be honest we both knew immediately, there was spark(talked about it at a later date).

When I asked him what he was laughng at he told me about a new women he had met, and within minutes he told me he fell in love with her and never thought he could be so happy.  The storm continued and we chatted, he bought me a drink and then we shared a dessert.  The night passed quickly and it need to end.  We both left and then he turn as I went to walk away, and said I will be in chicago for the next 5 days, have lunch with me tomorrow.  We hung out every day with a few hands being held and one long kiss when he left, I kissed him. 

We have remained FREINDS thourghout the year, with emails, talks and what are you up to.  I hoped our paths would cross in the future.  Well, I got my wish.  He is single and he now landed a business (short-term) deal in Chicago.  He lives in Cali, he has two children 13-16 and we seen each other quite a bit over the past three weeks. 

The days, nights have been magical and the spark, chemistry between us.....well amazing.  I dont want it to end but him leaving today for a week is a harsh reality and I understand all the pieces of the puzzle. He is not interested in a long term relationship.

The heat got turned up last night, but both were smart in knowing to not go there until we know the expectations and boundries of the relationship.   So do I enjoy it while it last and call a spade a spade, knowing it cant be what I want it to be.  Or do we remain happy with what we had for the time being and see where life takes us in later years of life? 

You don't have to close the door.  But you do have to be honest with yourself and you know it's can't be what you want it to be now.  Doesn't mean it can't be later.  But don't put your life on hold and wait either.  Sounds like everything is out in the open .. that is good communication and that is important.  You know what you are dealing with.  it's still hard though .. I know. 

Exactly, and living for the moment with him is fun until it turns into more and I can't turn it off. 

Everything in life has risk.  How much are you willing to take?  If it were me I would do it and the risk be damned but that is me.  It has worked for me at times and it has gone vey wrong for me at times.  I would not give up any of what I have had though.  it all goes into making me who I am and I would rather have a few weeks/months of wonderful than to walk away from that on the chance that I might get hurt.

i'm sure i just need to be more aggressive, but this guy is busy 10 hours a day.  i don't know why he doesn't just throw me some projects to ease up his workload, that IS why they hired me!

agree -- leaving my last job was the right decision.  i just am second guessing taking this one and not holding out for something better, that's all.  i still like the idea of this job, i am just not allowed to even attempt it yet.  making me crazy.

Long distance in a committed monogamous relationship is very very hard.  If you don't have that commitment and aren't working toward a long term, being in the same place thing then what's the point?  Might as well keep it as is, see each other when he's in town and keep your options open and play in your own backyard.  You can't force stuff .. it only ends up in frustration.

Thanks for the advice girls!

Been there.  Just be ready,  pretty soon he's gonna hand you something that is late and you have not enough time to get it done correctly that if he gave it to you yesterday, you'd be in a good spot. 

My first week at this company, I didn't know that you could just ask your office assistants for office supplies and didn't need to steal them from the print rooms on other floors.  But I met a lot of people.  Especially in Legal...

I have absolutely no relationship advice (as it should be!), but ... I know what it is like to be in longing.

sure, you can have a cupcake, AFTER you eat a healthy meal with at least one serving from each of the food groups.  NO, grease, salt, sugar, fat  and any "fast food establishments"are not food groups.
