the blizzard gets him a pass for missing out. Car trouble is a legitimate excuse, you were too busy for him one time... Not sure I see where you see the rejection is coming from?

He didn't run when you told him you thought you were falling in love with him, it sounds like he handled it appropriately... A lot of guys would have stumbled and mumbled and run away.... fast.

the tough question to ask here, is do you think you haver a relationship? does he? Or is it just two people having fun. It's not an easy question to ask someone, especially if you aren't sure of what the answer will be. I don't think he's stupid in a relationship, he is just acting different than you want him to act. you have relationship needs, are they being fulfilled? Only you can answer that -- he does email you regularly, but doesn't call... because he's short on cash? eh - -not a great excuse -- because phone cards are pretty cheap... maybe he's just not a phone talker (I personally can't stand talking onthe phone)

At his age, he's pretty set in his ways... and it's tough to get someone to change if you think he's a keeper (and not just because he cleans for you and cooks for you) then sit tight and see where it goes. What are you looking for? You say you are vulnerable right now, and are recently divorced? Do you want to get married again? want another long term relationship? Or is this purely rebound guy -- someone to get your feet wet in the dating pool again.
