I know its been a long time since I have posted. The main reason is that I figured posting would do more harm for me then good. I spent much of the last few weeks trying to face my interest in Shawn without letting it overwhelm me.
I did at one time give him an out which would have helped me as well, except he completely took the out off of the table. Then last Thursday he surprised me by telling me he wanted to date me. So now we are an item and I can move past all my worries
and concerns and enjoy myself. He is the most wonderful and sweet guy I have ever known. He says he sees a lot of potential in our relationship and I agree with him. I have no problem with the idea of needing to reclaim my independence because
Shawn gives me a lot of room to be myself and grow with myself. He is also a wonderful influence sometimes with example and sometimes with suggestion in helping me to constantly improve myself. I don't take every suggestion he offers and he doesn't hold
that against me. So the long and the short of it is that I am at a very wonderful place in my life right now.
