I read your article on yahoo about nice guys, while sitting here beating myself up for doing all the things you warn against. It’s been my problem my whole life. I really like this woman. I started getting to know her a while ago and have been more impressed with her every time I’ve been with her. She is unlike anyone I’ve ever met, in that she is interested and knowledgeable of so many of my obscure and sometimes odd interests. I felt such a connection with her that I mistakenly started acting as though she was feeling the same way. I went on to do everything wrong. I have slid right into the “friend zone” where I typically reside. I know from my experiences in life that the ship has sailed, But if there is something I can do to get it back, it would be worth it. I’ve been having so much fun being with her, but It’s getting less fun the more I care and the less she seems to. I’ve decided to just walk away for now, to try and stop my downward spiral. What I’m wondering is if there is anyway to repair the damage I’ve done.
