    I was basically told by the man I have been seeing casually for the past 18 months that I am not the one for him. It was very difficult to hear and I am heartbroken. He continues to contact me daily via phone and text, plus we work together and he stops in my office when he starts his shift to have coffee and catch up. I am torn about this contact – I really like seeing him and it gives me hope that he will change his mind (I know I am kidding myself) but the other part of me feels that if I am not good enough to date, he doesn’t deserve my friendship. Am I being childish (I am a 44 year old woman)?

    The right answer is all about what is best for YOU. If you are looking to marry, and you’re 44 (THANK YOU for telling me your age — it helps me give you the right advice!! 😀 ), I think you’d rather take that marriage quest seriously. If you’re all about the ring and the date, then spending time with him is going to distract you from YOUR goal. I know that it feels good to have the attention and know he wants to sleep with you and that he likes you, but it doesn’t serve you in the big picture, and it doesn’t bring you closer to what you want if it takes you away from finding Mr. RIght. Being lonely and wanting attention will drive you to find a man who WANTS to be with you and WANTS to give you attention for the rest of your life. Those desires for attention are not bad desires, but as an adult, you have to make sure you get them fulfilled by Mr. Right.

    You are not being childish by cutting him off after he’s told you you’re not it for him. You’re being practical. Children have a tendency to do what’s right for themselves and themselves only. Because they’re children they don’t have the perspective to always know what’s right for them in the long run. You, however, are and do. Take care of yourself so you have the life you want.

    I hope that helps you decide what to do. Let me know how it goes. And please join me on Facebook at this link: [url][/url]. 😀

    April, it is so funny, I was typing my reply “I am not looking for marriage” but as I continued typing and reading what I was saying, even though I don’t want to get married, I want him there forever….what a dork. I know my answer – cut him off….. Thank you.
