I also have two issues that have been on my mind recently and don't know where else to go with them, so you're all stuck reading about them. My parents are moving 1600 miles away in 2 weeks or so (compared to the 30 or so they are from me now). I haven't come out to them yet, but really feel I should for the obvious reason that I'd like for them to know (they're basically the next people on the list), and also I've gotten into the whole online dating thing and don't want to end up in a relationship that I'm hiding from them.
My biggest problem is that with them moving, I really have only one opportunity in the near future to do it in person -- one week from now when me, my brother, sister, brother-in-law, and grandmother are all getting together at their house. I just don't see it happening here, but also don't want to wait. All I can do is shout in frustration.
Issue #2 is that I'm so bad at reading this dating situation. Had 2 really great dates with a guy, each lasting 6 hours. Never felt like this about someone before. But instead of just being happy, I'm driving myself to near tears afraid that I'll lose him already. He did say "I feel a lot of affection for you," referenced getting together again, and texted me the day after the second date.
But that text was on Tuesday, and he said he was feeling overwhelmed. He didn't respond when I asked how he was on Wednesday, and when I asked again Saturday he said he was fine just busy. I know he had some (unfortunately reasonable) doubts that we would work out, but I don't know if that has anything to do with what's going on with him right now. I feel like I just have to wait for him to tell me what's going on at this point, but finding this line between clingy/crazy and going after what I want is proving hard.
