StealthSeductress I understand what you are talking about. I once knew a lady who married a man who was very emotionally distant and could be quite cold and sarcastic. As she would talk about him I got the impression by the things she said like, "People marry people for different reasons, I married him for security not for love." Although, I totally understood her point and listened with a non-judgement, I couldn't help but to be impressed due to the conversation context and how I had heard her make this statement before, that what she was really telling me was, "I settled with him because I was lonely and he is a good provider and wanted me. Now I feel guilty and unfulfilled and I keep telling you to convince myself my choice was ok."

Rissa Bee wow, the plot thickens no wonder why he acted the way he did. Travelling Girl is right at least now you know; Dreamerella I'm looking foward to the day when you meet someone who is more worth your time.

WotWentWrong Blog @Dreamerella we've seen this kind of situation before. Nomad Musician seems to want the best of both worlds. You're at his beck and call but he has the freedom to play the field. I know it may be difficult, but you should steer clear of him until he shows you that he's serious about you. And if he doesn't it wasn't meant to be!

Dreamerella Thanks for the advice! I'm keeping my options open and am definitely super cautious around Nomad Musician because I don't want to get hurt.

Rissa Bee I've met this type of man many times; I call them the have your cake and eat it too type of man. I think you are attracted to his down to earth free spirit but that personality is a two sided coin. Often times there's no stability and they want to be free to roam as they please( relationship speaking). I think you were right to just leave it at friendship and keep your options open.
