As promised, here is the update of the old friend/athlete i wrote about in my last post. A few days after I wrote the post he told me how he wanted me to be his girlfriend, and we are now "officially" together. So far it has been really great, I can say nothing but good things, he totally treats me like a princess. I say this with haste though, because we all know that the beginning is always wonderful, but it doesnt stay like that sometimes. We have spent pretty much every day together and then I went out of town to go back home for a week, and he has called me every day. Now im worried that he likes me TOO much. I think I am his first real girlfriend... and he has already said the infamous 3 words to me. I do feel the same way about him, he is the most amazing person ive met in terms of being so humble, generous, thoughtful, appreciative etc... I guess im just scared our relationship is moving too fast. My last relationship (2 years ago) of 3 years ended pretty bad and i was so attached and it took me up until a few months ago to actually get over this relationship, and i guess i am still scared of getting that attached to someone and them leaving or us breaking up etc. I guess i should add my new/current BF has gotten alot of offers to play overseas in Europe and it could be as soon as December, and being a pro athlete, your location/home is never guarenteed. I just see so much potential for heartache and its hard for me to give my all into this relationship and I do want to, especially since he is putting everything into it.
Well thats the update... Ill keep you girls posted as things progress...

yay!!! i'm so happy for you. i totally understand your reservations about not wanting to get hurt, but it seems like things are great so far so i would just enjoy it. if your time together is cut short because he has to move overseas, at least you have good times now. good luck!!
i know you don't want to say too much, but can you tell us what sport he plays?
That's awesome Nicoley. I'm so happy for you - you deserve a good guy who treats you like a princess. I know you're scared about getting hurt, so just take it one day at a time and good luck
Hey girl - great news! As for the whole might-be-leaving the country thing... Everyone's a Risk. All We Have is This Moment. Insert Your Own Cliche Here... Six months from now would you rather have gone out with him, then sadly let him go, wth the possibility that he may return? Or never have gone out with him at all? I think the first one makes for a richer life... (And, of course, all the usual disclaimers about how I cannot truly advise anyone apply)
