I didn't know exactly where to put this, so I'll try here lol!
I met this girl from Christian Mingle about a year ago. I'm 36 and she is 39. To put it in a more concise why, it wasn't a very successful first run, because we couldn't keep from arguing, and we felt like the other was trying to change the other. And we also got hooked too quickly. We both come from very similar backgrounds in that we have yet to even have our first serious relationship
Well, now that nearly a year has passed, we have started talking again, and I really feel like that the both of us have done a lot of changing, and have matured quite a bit. She lives an hour away. I am currently unemployed, and not really financially fit to date at the moment, but we are talking. This time we are taking it more slowly, and we are pacing ourselves. We did discover that the first time around, we communicated much better in person. We have a tendency to misread each other in written communications and on the phone. We still have a lot of kinds to work out.
Some people think I'm wasting my time and should move on, and they think I'm "settling". But for some reason, God keeps her in my mind for some reason. And when I'm not upset with her and not wanting to move one, I think about her about the future with her. It's really strange how I feel with all these mixed emotions. I am also the type that does like to hurt people either, and sometimes I do acquiesce to just keep the peace.
Is it really possible to have a successful relationship that starts out so rocky in the beginning? Please help. Any info and feedback will be greatly appreciated.
