But there Is one woman who has had my heart from the first day I saw her . I am an old fashioned romantic who still believes In love at first sight , kinda like In the movies .And of late I have had fairly good Interaction with the object of my affection , she Is a co worker which I realize Is not always wise , but the heart wants what the heart wants , so what can I say ? And when I get around her all the self assurance I have as a man goes completely out the window , I become a little more unsure of myself ,I sometimes get nervous as I want her to like me . I feel Inadequate , because I know that I want to be a better man than I am because of her . I do little things for her not because I am trying to buy her love . I do them for her because I want to show her I care . I want to show her I am paying attention and that I am listening when she talks . I want to show her I am dependable and that I can be counted on ! If that Is one trait I have always had It Is that If I care about you , you can depend on me like you can depend on the sun coming up ! But I have been around long enough to know that life Is not like the movies .
So this Is why I hate falling In love . It sucks ! It has turned me Into a nervous wreck . I can barely concentrate on the box scores for baseball when I read the paper , I have fortunately still just enough concentration skills that I have not crashed my car on my way to and from work as thinking of her pre occupies the bulk of my time . And I wonder what It Is that I have to do to win her heart ! I have never been a playuh , I do not have enough money or flash for such a thing ! All I have Is a sincere heart and some good morals and values to list as my assets ! I hope that might be enough . This Is a prime example of why I hate falling In love . Because normally I can just go about the business of my day with relative smoothness and effeiency . And I still do , but It just seems like more of a struggle . Because I know that I may not get my way on this particular situation so that fear of rejection always seems like It Is gnawing at me ever so quietly . I just miss the days where all I had to worry about was gettin some food In the fridge , and whether my fantasy football team Is gonna win big this year . I already miss those days . I know they might return down the line , but for now I just think about what It would be like to hold her little hand and look Into her eyes and kiss her. I HATE IT !
I guess maybe I share this with you for therapeutic purposes . I need to unload what Is going on Inside of me somehere . I write a blog on another site too , but I am reserving this blog for writing about what Is going on between my ears and In my heart .
Normally I can be a pretty snarky and sarcastic Individual . Today as with the rest of my sarcastic personality , that Is all gone . Today I am a solitary man with his heart In his hand . I will tell her one day , because as a friend of mine says " If you never take a chance In life you do not have one ! " And I firmly believe that . So I have gone from a basically emotionally unattached man . Into a nervous and vulnerable person who can barely tie his shoes right now . Whatever the outcome may be In this situation I know I have the Internal wherewithall to accept . But for now I just have to accept that I am a blathering geek with love on his mind and hope that I may win her heart . This Is why I hate falling In love , It has tuned me Into someone I barely recognize , It has made me a wreck . And I just gotta ride out this storm of emotions . Thank God football season Is coming soon !

Report AbuseBambu thank you for the kind words . I am far from perfect but I do believe I am a good man . As for your question , what kind of woman am I looking for , just one who Is kind and loyal and loving and funny. She does not have to look like a model , because I know I don,t .
However I hope she Is out there . Like I said this girl Is who my heart longs for now and being a loner primarily It Is quite an adjustment for me. But I am a romantic at heart ! Thx for checking In Bambi .

Report AbuseYes you are old fashoined and that's ok! There aren't that many men like this anymore. Tony I am not trying to be harsh on you but...You are trying to hard to have someone love you! You are afraid of the rejection that she might give to you if you ask her out. Don't be afraid of love because it can be a beautiful thing! First of all know that you need to love yourself before you can love another. Accept you for you and what you can offer a woman! (you already know this too)
Ask her out and don't be afraid. If she has already said no...then she's not really looking for all the good you do for her. She's not seeing the real man that you are.
I wish you luck and hope that you will one day find your true love and happiness! Trust in the Lord and he will see you through!

Report AbuseThank you Devotion72 . Am I trying to hard ,maybe. What I do know Is that I can sense she got hurt somewhere In the past here . So she has alot of walls up. So the first thing I need to do Is earn her trust. If I just wanted to get laid I can do that , I have moved beyond that point now . Thx for the peptalk though .

Report AbuseYes that is so true about earning her trust! My boyfriend and I were best friends at first! I didn't trust him or any man for that matter. I had a wall put up as well! I learned to take this down when I learned to love me first and ask God to heal me! It worked I learned that no matter what I tried and I had to stop blamming myself for the broken hearts! I had to fully give into myself. I think the best thing for you is to give her confidence. Take her out and tell her it's not a date but time to just get away and have some fun with friends kid of thing. Maybe that will work.
