For myself, reading your responses and experiences have given me the invaluable opportunity to learn more about you.

Separately, the notable discussions this has generated has made me rethink the comments policy – whether to open them by default – so I’ll write a separate post to get your votes on these. Meanwhile, please enjoy the last part of this series.

Moving On Isn’t Easy

I’ll be honest with you. Moving on isn’t easy. If it wasn’t for the experience with G, I’d think moving on is just a matter of putting the past behind us. I mean, you want…

Thinking About Him

After we parted ways, I focused on living my life. Staying away from G made it easier to move on. No more confusing signals to throw me off track. No more mind games. No more ambiguity. While I was hurt on the inside, at least now I could focus on…

A Standstill

The strange thing was, while G constantly hinted his interest in me, nothing ever happened beyond that. For several months, we trod on the very thin line that segmented close friends from a couple. Many of our coursemates thought we were a couple because we were so close. For what it was worth, I subconsciously thought so too, just that it wasn’t officialized.

(Originally written and published on Mar 8, ’10)

All along, I have shared many personal stories such as past disappointment, past emotional stinginess, my period of slump, parting ways with my best friend of 10 years, etc. Today, I’m opening up to you in a way I have never done so before.
