D and I finally talked (really talked) about everything that's happened with us over the past few months. And it went really, really well.
He admitted that he's been a weirdo, I admitted that I've been weirdo (not as much of one as him, though) and we decided that we still want to hang out. He also said the reason that he's been a weirdo was b/c of the crazy situation we went through and he was really upset by it and worried about me and whilehe was there for me through the whole thing, when it was over, he just needed some space to himself to reflect and recover. I find this to be understandable, especially knowing his personality.
He also told me that he really respected me for respecting his space and his weirdness, even though he could tell that it was bothering me. He said it was really cool of me to not pressure him and to wait for him to come to me. He then went on to say that he has really strong feelings for me, loves to be with me and wants to keep spending time with me. I told him that I feel the same way, even though neither of us are ready for a relationship right now, so we're keeping it casual at a slightly more than friends level and we're going to see what happens.
I'm happy that the situation is working itself out. I'm also happy that it's been more than a month since I've had any contact with Stupid. I think he's finally out of my life (D is quite happy about this). And that's the latest (mostly drama-free) installment of my dating life.
good lord - when I was reading this, I was thinking D was Stupid - and I'm like, "what are you thinking!" until I got to the last paragraph... glad to hear things are falling into place for you! and I'm glad D isn't Stupid!
Ha! Yes, I'm glad that D isn't Stupid (or stupid, with a lowercase 's'), as well.
Im so glad to hear things are working out for you... I thought we might be due for another update :) I must admit though, I thought D was stupid at first too, and was getting worried hehe. Which one is D again? Thats not the one that is long distance living in another state?

No, no, he's not long distance. We work together (which also makes for some extra complications). He's the only normal person I've dated over the past 6 months. He hasn't acted like a crazy, desperate freak or cried in restaurants or talked about 'when we get married.' We also just went through a really trying experience together and he was amazing through the whole thing. He really is just an all-around good guy. And even if nothing more comes of our relationship, at least he's given me hope that there are actually still nice guys out there.

Dizzy's right. You deserve kudos for the way you've handled yourself this past tumultuous year. It sounds like you're in a good place right now, which is good. Good for you!
