another bike date... he neglected to mention...

[Yasmin]

There's a whole lotta dating going on out there. That's really good to hear & I wish you all the best. If ever my situation changes, you're giving me hope. Only thing is...you're all in the States & I'm in Australia. Well, the world is a golfball, isn't it?.
As long as there is love, respect etc in your life I don't think the "team" matters. Not everyone has the ability to love, so finding it is all that matters.
Goodluck to each & every one of you.

Bcipam : How disillusioning for you. I guess he's trying to attach, but is he being fair? Sounds like you'd be better off politely withdrawing from that situation. He's looking for someone to look after him, not an equal relationship. He wasn't honest to begin with, but you can be straight (no pun intended) & honest with him by saying "sorry, but no". You'll hopefully only need to say it once, even though it won't be easy. Goodluck & let us know how it goes.
