Haha

I’d say that I have a little bit of 2 things going on with Ryan.

I am 27 and he is 23. He is turning 24 in September.

Technically, he should be the Party age guy. But he is not. He was in the Marines from age 19 – 23. He did some college during that time. And we’re long distant, so the party thing was never an issue. He parties sometimes though. But, he is a bit more mature for his age, from being in the Military. So he is a lot closer to the Post Party age. Right now he is finishing school to be an Engineer, and working. Before we broke up, he told me that he wouldn’t want to get married until he’s 26 or so. He said he wants to have more stability first. I didn’t bring up the marriage topic though. He did lol.

He also was the one who brought up having kids with me some day too. He brought that up and he brought up taking our relationship to the next level, before we broke up.

That gives me hope though. The fact that I know that he wants the same things I want. And he brought it up first. So I know I’m not wasting my time.

I’m not in a rush to marry him, but he is worth it.

Man I love him

:]

Yay Taryn commented!

He seems like he has a good head on his shoulder if everything he says is true!!

Haha Yay!!

Yes, he does have a good head on his shoulders. Knows what he wants in life and is at that stage where he’s trying to make it happen. So my job is to show him that I will support him and benefit his life. He is a good guy. Very respectful. He met my parents before and they like him. Haha. I made sure that he met my dad first before my mom. I wanted both my parents to size him up for me. Even though I already knew he was right for me.

I’ll be texting him again soon. Probably tomorrow :]

I’m in the girlfriend text phase. I want to try throwing in a compliment.

:]

Definitely do. What compliment do you have in mind?
Taryn

I saw that you also have the example of a compliment about the eyes. I would say something like that as well. I have always liked his eyes. I also love his skin tone. He’s naturally caramel skin toned with black hair. I loveeeeeee that lol.

I was texting Ryan today, just to see how his day was going. And he told me that he is in Buffalo, NY. Where I live. He lives in California!

So I asked him..

Me: “Oh really? What brings you to Buffalo?”
Ryan: “U”
Me: “Really?”
Ryan: “Yes”

Ryan is in Buffalo. And he came here for me :]

I am shocked! And happy. I guess we will see each other a lot sooner than I had thought. Oh my!

Look how far you have come. I hope things are going great!!!!!

Thank you Chris!

Guess what, Ryan is silly…. He hadn’t told me before hand that he was coming to Buffalo and he was only here for labor day. And I didn’t know. And I had to work, so we missed our opportunity to see each other. Bummer. However, he texted me last night to say goodnight after he got back to Cali. Lol he asked me for a Goodnight picture. I said, “only of you send me one”. And so he did :] then I sent a cute one. Nothing sexual or anything. Just simple and cute.

So he kept texting me and he then asked me if I had a boyfriend or anyone special in my life. I said no. He said, “not even a date?” I said yes, and then he asked what happened. I said nothing happened, and that they did not connect with me at all. I asked him, “why do you ask?”

He seemed curious to know if I was seeing anyone I guess. This was the first time he had asked me anything like this since I started to try and get him back.

Ryan: “Bc ur a great girl n I hate see u not connecting wit men. I juss hope they treat u like a lady”
Me: “Most of them don’t…”

(don’t mind his texting style.. Lol. That’s just how he types when he texts) I wasn’t sure where this conversation was going. I was hoping he was just trying to figure out if I’m single lol. Anyways. Then he asked me what I meant by that. I said that most guys just want one thing from me. And that they don’t see who’s inside.

Ryan: “Wtf u don’t even have tht type of demeanor to give sex like tht”
Me: “I know, I don’t. But it happens to me all the time. In person and even more so online. So I tend to give the cold shoulder to everyone.”

Then he told me that I shouldn’t be online like that. Because guys online are “a$$es” Lol. So I told him that I am not online anymore. He said, “Good”

Me: “Yeah. It was annoying”

Then he said something that I’m not sure what to think about.

Ryan: “Well I hope u get to meet someone great tht can treat u right bc sex isn’t the only thing in life”
Me: “Thank you. You are so right. It isn’t”
Ryan: “Well yeh look at us no sex n I think we r cool as f**k.” (ps. He and I never had sex. And he knows I want to wait.)

Me: “Yes. You wanted it though ;]”
Ryan: “Yeh but I knew u for a couple yrs plus u said u were ready”
Me: “I was… But I was also very nervous. I don’t know why. I’m just not used to being so close to someone”
Ryan: “Well tht Wht happens we u care bout each other”
Me: “I believe that, Ryan. And yes I did care about you. But you’re right. You know, I really have missed talking to you. You always made me smile when you would text me randomly or call.”
Ryan: “Well I’m glad I want to be the best man I can to u bc u deserve it plus ur f*kin amazingly awesome n beautiful” (he swears grr..)
Me: “God I miss you. And thank you”

That is what happened last night. I didn’t know what to think. Or what step to take next. Does he not realize that I want him? And that I was hinting that he and I connect. Was I just friend zoned? Lol. Ryan is thick. But he did open up a lot. Today I will say nothing and I was thinking about texting /calling him tomorrow. His birthday is Friday.

I wish I had been off of work to see him yesterday, but I also feel, in a huge way, that he and I need to talk more first before we see each other. I will not be just friends. I want Ryan. Does he think I don’t? He still cares about me. But does he realize how much I want to be with him. I wish I could just call him and be straight forward haha.

I feel that I am getting somewhere

I see him as more as testing the waters. Your not friend zoned! I edfinitely feel your getting somewhere!
Taryn

September 4, 2014 at 2:13 pm

Lol. Yes Ryan has always been bold. And does cut to the chase.

But I will explain, on the Long Distance page, (running out of room to reply on here lol) what I think went wrong. I might have been blowing it out of proportion but. I know one thing, I won’t give up.

It was going well. Alrighty, I will explain on the other page.

Lol… He texted me today. Called it!

September 4, 2014 at 12:10 pm

Seems to me he is hooked 😉

Thank you! After I ended the conversation yesterday, Ryan texted me again to see if I was home from work. And I said yes. Then he texted back and said,

“Good I need my beauty to sleep well”

I said thank you to him. And then he asked me a serious question. He asked me if I want to have a baby. I’m assuming he meant in the future? But Man! So I said, “I do. But I need a committed relationship for that.” and he wrote back and said for how long. I said, “For as long as we wanted to be together.” but then I also said to him that we could talk about things like that on the phone rather than text. He agreed.

Soooo, yeah :]

I’m not texting him today though. We talked almost every day this week. Time to slow it down for a day or two. Lol but he will probably text me though today anyways. I’ll text him Friday for sure for his birthday.

I am happy. But still trying to follow the rules that I’ve learned. Because I want to stay in control. Slow and steady. Even though he is seriously into me again lol.

Thank you Chris for your help and advice. And your articles! And for rooting for Ryan and I.

:]

Taryn

Gosh!! Ryan and I had a good little conversation today. Initiated by Ryan :]

I even found the perfect moment to throw in that compliment I told you about. It went well. And then I ended the conversation :]]

I don’t plan on texting him again till his birthday, which is Friday. But hey, if he wants to text me first again, I’m all for it Hehe

I’d say this is going very well

Very well! You are doing so great Taryn! I am so happy to hear about this.
Taryn

September 2, 2014 at 6:45 pm

I guess I am getting somewhere :]

Yep!!!
Taryn

August 27, 2014 at 2:01 pm

Ryan texted me in the middle of the night, two nights ago, to tell me that he was thinking about me. And then he asked me what I was dreaming about, because he woke me up :]

GOOD SIGN!!!!!
Taryn

August 28, 2014 at 11:17 pm

Agreed!!! :]
Taryn

August 19, 2014 at 3:03 pm

I was thinking about complimenting him on how big and strong he is. He’s 5’9″ and I’m 4’11”, so I like how big and strong he is. He picked me up because I’m so little lol. Gosh, sounds likes a risky type of text lol.
admin

August 25, 2014 at 11:13 am

No offense Taryn but I think most people could pick you up at 4’11” haha.

It’s risky but worth a shot I think.
Taryn

August 25, 2014 at 3:40 pm

Very true lol.

And yeah, I might just try a compliment like that :]
