Okay so I've been dating a new Aqua man for the past month or so. He and I have been taking things pretty slow but steady (slow in my book). I just recently returned from Florida where I worked as a Spokesmodel for the winter. Im back in my hometown and I've been looking for a job each and every day for the past month. Well I just recently had an amazing break through in that department! Friday I had two interviews lined up as well as one for this week!...well after the first interview I gladly accepted the job. I am to begin work this week...
Well my Aqua guy friend asked me about my commute to and from work, he had assumed that I would have to wake up in the wee hours of the morning to catch two busses and a train in order to make it to work. However, I have another guy friend who already offered to help out with transportation until im able to get another car (I sold my car back in August). Well my aqua friend is feeling rather awkard about the arrangement...since he and I are getting more serious. But he has two cars and has said absolutely nothing about helping me out with transportation...or anything else. Now Im no gold digger but I do come from the old skool when it comes to dating. I feel as though my aqua friend does have a right to feel uncomfortable about the arrangement but at the same time I have to do whats best for me. Because each and every day I awake my stomach needs to be fed and he hasnt asked how I was able to do that....am I wrong for my stance or should he try to be more understanding? IDK... I dont want to mess up a good thing with him, but how much does he truly care for me when he's not concernd with my OVERALL well-being?
I cant be mad at him for not worrying about food/car...the nessecities...but he cant be upset when someone else IS
I personally don't see anything wrong with the situation. Your Aqua guy is sounding a bit insecure and that is more of HIS issue. What you are doing is trying to find a way back and forth to work to provide for yourself. Sometimes a person needs the help from another and it's great that your other guy friend is willing to help you out. If you two are heading towards a more serious note I'd think that he first needs to work on being more confident in himself and work on trust.
Well over-all he appears to be a very secure man...and I guess thats what Im attracted to. He's got his ISH together, he works two jobs, just bought a house, has his masters degree in sumthing, and he also has two vehicles. Now he hasnt offerd to help with transportation, yet he pretty much had a fit (a calm one) when I told him that another guy was allowing me to use a car from his lot (the other guy has a car lot). Now Im in a situation where Im pretty much re-establishing myself...I told both guys about my situation. Now Im not a needy,clingy or dependent woman by far. However, I'm at the point in my life where I will acknowledge when I need help and I will gratefully accept it. My aqua guy SAID that he would be more than willing to help out, and the other guy has said the same thing...but the second guy will call me periodically to see if I'd even eaten that day...so IDK.
I've been staying with two girl-friends of mine and they have been really supportive of my situation...Yesterday one of my friends needed to get somewhere and her ride was flaking on her. Well my guy friend and I were just pulling up when she'd almost given up on trying to find a ride. She asked me to ask my guy friend if HE could drop her off? Well he did but the whole time I could sense he had a slight problem with the whole thing. Well we were in route, and she was in the backseat on the phone I asked him what was bothering him...he stated that he needed to get his vehicle serviced ASAP. Well this was all new news to me, he hadnt mentitioned it before. I asked him if we could wait unitl we dropped my friend off before we discussed the situation, because I was rather embarrassed that he would react in such a petty way when my friends have pretty much been holding me down for the past month, the least I could do was to make sure she made it to where she needed to be in a timely manner.
Now when we did discuss the situation, he said that his car needed to be serviced asap and that he didnt want to screw up his brand new car. I kinda felt as though he was being petty and selfish. IDK,maybe im wrong but I voiced my opinion and thats totally how I feel. Seems like he's more concernd with the things like sex and hanging out and not anything thats logical.
But I also think that his behavior has alot to do with him being raised by two parents who pretty much had his life planned for him and they stuck to it. He's got no idea what its like to live in a "hard knockk life", most of the women he's dated come from the same background. My situation on the other hand is completely diff. I really dont have a support system and up until NOW I've never really accepted help...ever.
Well...He IS very supportive and he is the type to help me figure out a solution to the problem. He hasnt shown me any "well, you figure it out, it's not my problem" type of attitude so I guess thats good?? He even suggested that I stay at his house here and there since my new job isnt too far from where he lives. Maybe Im just having an anxiety attack over nothing, but the whole situation has got me feeling uneasy.
