Lawyer Boy

Lawyer Boy (B) showed his sister pictures of me while at home for Thanksgiving. Her response was, "she looks nice." At first I thought this was the kiss of death, but it turns out his sister hates anyone he dates, and for her this was a dead-on compliment.

Its starting to feel like a relationship. I helped him unpack at his new place last night, and spent the night cuddling, and just talking about past relationships.

So it turns out that his mom and dad and whole family don't say the L word out loud even to each other. He did tell me the story of one girl he said he loved, who dumped him a month later, and strung him along for a full year afterwards. Its pretty understandable that he has trust issues now, and doesn't seem entirely capable of emotional intimacy. I just can't help but wonder if he even feels remotely for me like he did for that one girl. They had only dated for 5-6 months before the L word came out, and we are on month 12. Yep, 12, almost at a year.


Still, he doesn't seem interested in what has happened in my life, in my stories. We'll see if that changes. Most of all I'm worried that I'm falling for a man that may never fully love me.
