Ummmm - As said before, I didn't take offence at your comment
This situation is not breaking my heart, but it has made me realise that there is more to life than being single. I'm not happy with this situation, but I'm definatley not breaking my heart over it.
I think the reason I am willing to wait and give this a chance is that for the first time in many years I have met someone who has been nothing less than honest with me (There are other factors too, not just the honesty). Unfortunately due to mixed up emotions amongst other things, now is not the right time for her.
She has explained to me that she thought she would grow old alone, and was totally taken aback with the situation we found ourselves in, and needs time to reflect on this and other things.
I know I am willing to wait, but I still don't know if I'm doing the right thing
