and it's like the most frustrating thing for me b/c it's not something I easily express-but I think he knows that-and my mind won't stop trying to weigh things out. We've known each other for 4 years now, and it was only around the beginning of last year that he's mentioned being in an actual relationship, in which declined by telling him I wasn't ready-I know 4 yrs what's the problem- It's just that we seem to have this understanding where it's like we're together but we're not, we meet other people but we'll eventually come back to one another, and I was comfortable with that as we get our lives together b/c I don't think we need the pressures of an actual commitment, but I think he took it the wrong way, b/c then 2-3 months later he told me he has a girlfriend...3 months later they broke up ( yay!!!)but they still communicate---which is where my fear kicks in, not necessarily concerning his ex, but just in general, how long can I continue to run with this so called understanding-I feel I need to start expressing more emotion(scary)and I think he knows that scares me and tries to be understanding...when he talks about his future he makes a point to not leave me out as though we will one day get married have kids yada yada , but I'm not sure.I know he has feelings 4 me and vice versa, but sometimes our ability to detatch ourselves from our emotions and be 'reasonable' and understanding scares me- and right now I'm not so sure if I should say anything about whats going on in my head right now,it would be so much easier if he could just look me in the eyes and know what I felt w/o me saying a word... Anyway, I just had to vent it's really been bothering me since I think I'm in love and I don't want to be, but I don't want to be just a friend either...ahhh my mind is crazy and I make no sense!!!!!
I love my Aqua guy...
I know it's nuts! I fear the word commitment...as long as it's not verbalized it seems okay...i don't want anything to change (for the worst)But if ther's no change there's no growth...something has to be said and established...I guess I need to just stop the maddness cause that's all it is maddness and pride ie. fear...and pure love should cast out all fear, right?...
Oh, it's not really a sexual relationship...we have had sex twice after like 3yrs of knowing each other before he'd got into a relationship...We're attracted to one another yeah,however we're not going to become simply sex buddies
Maybe he is on the back burner, but really it started off as a sincere friendship...the transition is a bit odd though

I honestly have no idea
LOL! I'm not that crazy...
Okay, the thing is there's no real commitment-I turned down his offer when he asked- he then starts talking to someone else to spite me it seemed and that didn't last-neither of us are committed to anyone now-i might hang out with other guys for sheer entertainment puposes,but I'm not looking to pursue anything with them cause thats why i have Aqua-same thing going on on his end b/c he really wants to commit to me but he may be getting weary of nothing being written in stone,which is what i think he was trying to prove by getting into that other relationship...Now the coming back to each other no need to commit is how i was percieving things before he got into that relationship--- so now i figure he wants a commitment or he'll move on and we can really just be friends---i don't want that---he soesn't want that but i need to step up to the plate.
he always had the intent of hooking up with me while i had plans of sticking him in the 'friend zone' but my feelings changed about two yrs down the line and we started exchanging those feelings, but even so i didn't want him to lock me in(fear of commitment)I was okay as long as I was the #1 no other chick before me, but i'm thinking now i need to let go and give in face the fear and commit--- okay i have to stop my head is spinning!!!

wow, for once it's the other way around!!!
i think lovely libra girl needs to face her fears and commit to this guy, but only if she feels it is right. from the postings, it sounds more like a game to me...playing hard to get...it doesn't seem like she is in love with this guy, but more like she is in love with the "idea".

but, that's just my standpoint...i really don't know how commitment phobes work, so it could be different coming from the head of one.
