It’s easy for a coward like you to attack someone in need who has revealed their struggle.

You are far worse than any 15 year old kid, you sit behind your computer typing mean things to a person in need.

I am far more better than you, because I have the heart to admit I am
Wrong. You are a coward!!!

^^^^ I agree with you. You got attacked a lot for this post, but just let it go and try to take some of the good advice people gave. It’s simple to be a friend to someone. Just be yourself, have fun, make her laugh, and listen to her. She should do the same in return. After a while, it becomes easy and natural. You won’t feel it a struggle to look for things to talk about or do.

Good luck to you, and I’m glad you were brave enough to post your feelings, and the truth!

I just spoke to her and there is a lot more going on than i knew about.

1. when i met her she was at a bar downtown Chicago drinking and she wanted me to join her.
when i joined her she seemed like she wanted true companionship and she was very affectionate with me.

In getting to know her she I found out she has been married twice and her last divorce was ugly she says.

She owns buildings all around the bay area and its stressful and she is not getting any help from her 21 year old boy who just drains her for cash.

She told me she struggles with anxiety and can't handle pressure.

But now when I look at the past weekend she was drinking very heavy and was very touchy with me and wanted to me to sort of be close to her when ever we were together.

So i think what I did was normal for any man who was empathetic and caring.

she is trying to drink her problems away and I offered her advice like meditation, etc.

So i did offer friendship, I just think i was trying to protect her and save her which she is not ready for at this point.

She has stuff going on and I got caught in the line of fire and did what any decent person would do - offer comfort.

As for people on here giving me a hard time. I wanted it and appreciate the hard tough advice.

So...she was on a dating app but isn't looking for anything serious or long term?

She's lying to you or lying to herself.

Or both.

OK.

Never mind that stuff 'cuz we can all get a bit weird, especially after a divorce. She gets a free pass on weirdness.

For now.

I'd suggest to keep the lines of communication open, and you're going to be in her neck of the woods anyway...in about a month.

Let her know your schedule and she if she bites on her own turf. Let the chips fall where they may.....

Well then she may have a drinking problem, and furthermore, you have to ask yourself if you want a relationship in which you need to “save” someone.

She was so sweet and giving...

I could see she was in need and she just wanted a companion for the weekend.

But all those months we were together holding hands, hugging and giving each other affection made me want it to never stop.

But she has anxiety issues and I bet everyday we were together she grew more and more anxious about it.
