Ok, honesty time for me; points off for improper use of contractions even is she has the word turtle in her username.

There are two Turtles just sayin.

hahahaha i noticed the typo just as i hit submit... (maybe my poor use of contractions is why i can't land a date lol)  I do apologize for the contraction and for any future grammar issues and while i'm at it.. spelling too.. got that one from my dad he spelled promise "promice" one time. Super embarassed lol

maybe turtles can't type lol

I'm resurrecting this thread because I had a weird conversation last night. That woman I mentioned who wanted to have kids sent me a happy holiday card and texted me to say hello. So I texted her back and wish her the same. We talked a little, and then she tells me she loves me and always has since the day we met. I didn't really know what to say. She's not a stalker, and she said one of the reasons she hasn't contacted me was because she wanted to respect my feelings.

Still, a little odd. It's a shame because she is a great person and I'd like to be friends with her, but I just don't think it's possible. I realize I'm being judgmental, but she also smokes and drinks (IMO too much), and is overweight. Our lifestyles just don't intersect.

The differences do matter but really a lot of that stuff is more trivial. The saying she loves you part after the first time you met is what scares me. I personally would cut contact with her if he is getting that attached to you then further contact will only give her hope.

Love is a risk and she took a risk.  It rarely happens that two people fall in love at the exact same time, but it took a lot of nerve to tell you that, knowing she would not hear it back or change your feelings towards her.  But to love someone whether they love you back or not is still a special gift to that person and you should be flatterd/honored that she picked you.   

I realize in the dating world as an adult, that love can be unidirectional and if you are willing to accept that and allow yourself to love, it might not make you happy but never the less it make you know you are alive and know what you are looking for.

Also remember the opposite of love is not hate, it is hurt.  This took me a long time to understand. 

Well put!

Cheri Chapstick ... that brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

I've never been a worse person for loving someone, whether or not they loved me back.

I agree with most of this but two things. First that to me the opposite of love is indifference and neglect. The other is that she said she loved him after their first meeting? That’s not love.

Is the second date too soon to tell someone you love them?

I know, my ex and I learned this together. We never hated each other, so we try not to hurt each other either.

As for my friend, she is a good person, a trauma nurse and one of the most compassionate people I know. The last thing I would do is hurt her. We tried this before, but she's been clear that she wants to be more than friends. I am flattered, I just wish there was a way to be friends with her without leading her on.

Talk about love and look who pops out.  Brad you can tell me whenever you are ready.  I will wait!
