Admirer

I have an admirer.  He is one of the sweetest guys I've ever met.  But, I'm not sure I can fall in love with him.  He is smart, kind and very good to me.  I'm trying to give him a chance.  I went out with him to a party on Saturday night.  I knew a few people at the party, so it was a good time.  I got to know a couple people who were acquaintances much better, too.   My Admirer was the perfect gentleman.  He always has been.  If he hadn't told me about his feelings, I would have never guessed he felt that way.  He is so shy around me.  It is weird to have someone be like that for me.  I would like to give him a chance but I'm not sure the spark is there.   He understands that I have been hurt very badly in the past, that I have trouble trusting and i'm not sure I want to get involved. 

I know I don't want to be lonely.  I know I want someone in my life.  But I don't want the wrong person.  I don't want to hurt someone who is so kind and caring.  I am going slowly and carefully with my Admirer. I dont' have a lot of hope that it will amount to anything and have communicated that to him. But he is glad to be friends and willing to be patient.  So.... we'll see.
