| The problem lies as such, my buddies. I was originally an ED-sufferer, a dude, 28 years old. I worked for GAME in Scotland - I was nothing more than a skinny, baldheaded employee of a massive corporation with a Masters Degree and zero drive. I ended up getting a great job with one of the world's top three games companies as a top-notch game artist, but I relocated and my condition deteriorated. I ended up in Newcastle, 6 and a half stones, isolated, alone, and told I had months to live. My family intervened and I moved back to Scotland. I now still work remotely for the company that hired me as a game artist, but this year I'll be 29, and as I work towards a weight goal of 9 stones (I am 5'7") I still remember a girl I worked with. Her name is Becky. I am sullied, broken, really, really not the enthusiastic guy I was. But she quit her job and moved back home to Dundee. Before she left I told her I had been in utter adoration of her - a girl who had zero clue of my feelings - that the entire time we had been yin and yang, in perfect harmony, regardless of situation. She was so taken aback that on her leaving party, she grabbed me and kissed me, and told me what I'd said was the most romantic thing in the world. We were, sadly, both drunken! Now, she is in Dundee with her parents, and starting life again. I've tried to abstain from texting her frequently since that night but it seems as though her communications with me have lapsed. I've lived all over the UK so understand that moving is a very tough affair, but I at least expected more comms my way. I have to do a contract in Montrose (near Dundee) soon. I've asked her if she would like to be taken to dinner. I had no response whatsoever. It's proving difficult to be genuinely chivalrous when I've gotten nothing but the cold shoulder for several weeks, but I'm too much of an old romantic to accept she may have simply been drunk and taken by the moment to have grabbed and kissed me before. So I ask you, TSR, am I too deluded? Am I too old-fashioned and romantic? I don't just kiss anyone. I assumed she felt the connection but it's been weeks now, and her responses have been the likes of "I am a bit busy this week but let me know soon!" - am I being too sensitive towards our particular situation? My physical state and ED-related anxieties make me a poor judge of situation so I rely on you this evening and for the duration of the thread. Much huggage, my beloved TSR. | |||
