@ealltech,
Celebrating NYE in Lake Tahoe-Trip sounds like a blast-In spite of all the possibilities, there is still something missing. I think you realize the problem but you don’t want to own it. We always give guys the benefit of the doubt-ignore all sorts of red flags-deny our instincts-etc…… I say “when in doubt-don’t.”
Beyond that, I am always amazed at us women-always reacting and basing what we do on what he does. Why do we do this? You’re paying for your own ticket which means you can go anywhere you want-go visit someone who is excited to see you and not just luke warm. Don’t be afraid to let him know he wasn’t enthusiastic enough about your time together so you decided to go elsewhere-maybe he’ll see you’re no flunky and buy a ticket to your new destination. If he wants you, he’ll show it-stop trying to rush it-I’ve been there & done that & it doesn’t work.
I’d stop trying so hard to figure him out-figure yourself out. Is this rushing thing a pattern for you? Are you more of a giver in a relationship than the men you develop crushes on? What are your expectations in a relationship? Are you demonstrating self-respect when you’re in a relationship? Do you know how to say no and mean it? I’d say don’t get on that plane until you get some answers, get a stronger sense of self and you’d be guaranteed a joyous New Year’s no matter what some guy is doing or saying. It’s 2016-you’re going to be a full year older-make decisions that validate you for the prize-primo-super woman you really are!!!!!!!!!!God Bless.
