Well I could see myself and the dr getting married I just personally need more time. I knew she was a keeper after about our 3rd or 4th date but as I mentioned earlier she is a type of woman I have never experienced before and I am still learning her and unpacking my own feelings. My dad told me I need to be prepared for when she pops the question on me.

Had a great weekend with the dr. I thought we were going our separate ways yday until Friday but she invited me and the girls over last night to hang out with her and her son, eat pizza and play some games. So we went over and it was actually really fun.

We wont see each other again until Friday which is my birthday. She is baking me a cake and is a total giver. Something I am not used to.

Sounds like things are going really well! You deserve someone who bakes you a cake!

(Odd story - a friend of my ex's is married to a Swedish woman who "doesn't believe " in birthday cakes, so we baked him a cake every year. So weird.)

Lol...thanks K. It is really a different type of experience for me and something I am continuing to get used to. I mean she treats me like a king, is always there, always available, loves sex, so sweet and caring. While all of that is amazing that is my struggle at times as well. You referenced that book before why men love bitches and there is some truth to that.

I think I am going through a transformation on the inside and shifting my thoughts and beliefs on what is more important. I used to go after what I thought was the hottest girl I could find and then I would figure out and back into the rest. I am slowly learning that there is way more that I should be considering and while being attracted is important it's just one piece of the puzzle.

Exactly. You want to be with someone who is going to have your back when the sh!t hits the fan, who gives back as much as you give to the relationship, whose friendship and company you will enjoy into old age.

We’ve been trying to tell you that forever! I’m happy you finally realized it for yourself !

And the better someone treats us, the more attractive they become to us.

I am much like the doctor. Always there, always available, loves sex, and I’d like to say I am sweet and caring. And that has gotten me nothing but burned in the past. That’s why people have told me to read that book.

But it is who I am, and theybright guy seems to be appreciating it

Well G I think most men are like me or where like me and didnt appreciate those other qualities due to a number of different reasons. Most of which are because men are stupid, can be immature and generally dont have their priorities straight. You and the dr. are the type of women that men kick themselves in the nuts about 6 months later after the R has ended.

The Dr. is such a sweet person. She texted me this morning and wanted to know if anyone was taking my girls out shopping so they could pick me out a birthday present. She then asked me if she could take them out shopping this evening so they could pick something out for me. I mean really??????

I just thought that was so sweet and caring.

That is very sweet. I offered to do the same for M’s son. But I don’t think his mother would tolerate me taking him out alone at this point.

M knows my daughters father lets her pick out a
Present for me, so never offered the same.

I agree, it is very thoughtful.
