Some people have been asking for a weekend update.
Alyssa and I have pretty much been hanging out whenever we can. We go out to eat, go for runs, attend festivals, and head off to the City. Things have been going good so far. We have fun, we enjoy each other, and we talk about our relationship: how things were, how it is now, and some of a future. She's decided to stay up here instead of moving back to Southern California and we'll see where it goes between the two of us.
It's almost like it was before.... almost. She's been taking it slow in regards to sexual activity. She won't even make out with me yet. I mean she holds my hand, hugs me, rubs the back of my neck when I drive, and we kiss on the lips but she's been holding off on my advances. Just saying she just wants to take things slowly first.
I have a feeling I need to get an STD test to get her to ease up. So we'll see. However, it is good to know that our connection is still there minus the physical aspect.
She's going to be flying back home this week again to spend time with her family and wrap up matters with the house she was about to buy (trip was planned before we started talking again). She also let me know she's going to meet with the PT one more time to exchange belongings
softball
. Obviously not thrilled about that, but she promises after this she will be done with him for good. She was going to come back sooner, but since I'm going to Vegas in two weeks! she extended her stay into the weekend I'm gone.
We also have a little staycation planned for Labor Day weekend because my Vegas trip with Rusty and a friend fell through (Rusty fractured his ankle playing football last weekend).
As for the pre-school teacher... I Facebook stalked her and she had 7 mutual friends with me....ALL cousins or friends of Alyssa's out in SoCal! I'm not friends with Alyssa on Facebook at the moment so I don't know if they're direct friends either but the family/SoCal friends link is too close for comfort.
So that's where I'm at in my life right now. Things are good right now, but I just don't feel "it" completely. I'll have to see how everything feels from the time we return from our trips and until after our Labor Day trip. The whole trust issue and lack of intimacy are certainly the main culprits. The latter will probably be solved soon, but not sure about the former.
