I learn from him about his C-PTSD. I see good days and bad - I watch as he copes with a whole spectrum of emotions like guilt - rage - sorrow - apathy - relief - gratitude and happiness. He shows me that even the emotions that society finds "good" can trigger serious inward thought as it can...

@nursenurse very good advice - thank you. Actually - this may be the first relationship I've been in ever that seems to be automatically set up to go slowly .... It's going so well being close friends I don't want to change anything right now:)

@jd9900 - you've brought up the topic that Sunday schools around the Christian world go over so typically - "meek" (btw - I am not a biblical scholar - I never GO to church any more - but I mull it all over a lot) So when you say: Consider another scripture if you don't mind..... Psalm 147:6...

I don't know what kind of spirituality you like - if at all - but your post brings to mind "the meek shall inherit the earth" from Jesus' Sermon on the mount - I think. A time when he sat down and spelled out what the changes the newTestament would bring to people who had been following the Old...

@DaleD I think I CALL how I feel "casual" so I imply that I'm not pressuring him. As far as what you say about expressing your feelings... I feel the same way about how impossible it is to explain why I do feel dedicated to him in a way that's bigger than just a casual relationship - but it's...

@jd9900 I like how you write and appreciate your insight - I'll be reading your reply a few more times to absorb it:)

I met him online about 3 months ago. We've talked and laughed and have had an amazing time together. He's been very honest and open about the issues he struggles with and clearly appreciates me and my company and my support and tells me when he likes what I do for him. I was dating a few people...

Thank you all for saying hello:) The info here has already been helpful....
