Mr. Whirlwind, Part 2: Seeking Closure


I need closure.
I have a tendency to over analyze the things that happen to me, and this situation is no exception. I don’t like how it left off with me completely unaware of whatever it is that went wrong. It's messing with my ability to go out on dates with other men, because it's on the back of my mind. So I have drafted an email that I’m sending to him.
It basically states that I want to know what is going on, that I'm confused by his behavior and that I want to know how he wants to proceed. Is he still interested, is he not at all interested, or does he need some time to work out his issues and then revisit this topic?
So I'm sending that, then I will be deleting all traces of contact information from my phone, computer, and hopefully my memory as well. Let's see if he has the decency to reply and give an explanation for what happened. Whether or not I hear from him, at least I've asked the questions that have been nagging at me, and won't always be wondering if I'll be hearing from him again.

Ok............. so I wrote all of that on Monday. On my lunch break I sent the email, the deleted all of the contact information, just as planned. I was quite proud of myself. I had fully anticipated not getting a response. Which would have been fine. I still would have had closure, since no response would have told me all that I needed to know about his worth as a human being. But the bastard responded. He was very open and honest and stated that some woman from his past resurfaced and had him confused. He doesn't know exactly what he wants, and needs time to make up his mind about where he wants to go with things. However, he still wants to continue seeing me and get to know me, we just have to slow things down. I told him that I was fine with that. However, things have gotten more interesting since that time.

Stay tuned for part 3.
