Why are they not together?

Perhaps there was a different you a few months ago and she threw him out?

You two are on two different planets. Although it seems so fairy tale perfect this will not end well.

I've known him for a year now and he has always had the same set of clients, apart from a few men starting with him. I can't say for sure but I don't think that was the reason, but I don't know the reason to be honest with you.

I suppose if everyone thought that it would end badly no one would pursue anything. I know it's no romeo and Juliet love story but I think you are right in the sense that I think I am getting caught up in a fairy tale romance with this guy. I'm trying not to let myself think of it as anything but it is quite difficult.

If he's giving you gifts and you're cuddling, chances are pretty strong that he's attracted to you and very much so. Just know that once those feelings are expressed and mutual, there's no putting that genie back in the bottle.

Good luck! Do the right thing.

The heart will lead you off in a dangerous path... That's why we have brains... To override those crazy thoughts of the heart.

I hope you don't let this special attention carry you away.

It IS difficult, but here's the thing.

It's not really about YOU.

It's about him and the feelings he gets when he's around you. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he has an impeccable record as a trainer and has never crossed the professional boundary til now.

It is tempting to consider that you are SO attractive and irresistible that he couldn't help himself and his feelings. But it's more logical to consider that he has been going through a hellish time with his marriage and has been telling himself that he deserves some happiness for a change. You provide those feelings.

He enjoys knowing that instead of thinking about being a soon-to-be-divorced middle-aged guy he is now a soon-to-be-divorced middle aged guy who can still attract a 20-something. It's very hard to resist.

But it's not a romance, and it's not about his feelings FOR YOU.

That's why you need to back off and separate yourself.

I'm really really trying not to get carried away with it, i'm trying to use my head and think that he has no feelings for me at all and just continue with my life as normal but I'm finding it really difficult.

Wouldn't continuing your life 'as normal' include staying away from him?
If you know cookies make you fat, you don't purposely surround yourself with them, knowing how good they taste.
