Bill has a long history of women complaining he doesn't spend enough time with them, including his ex-wife. I joined the chorus. His pattern is to resist.
But I could not resist a parting shot after Bill ghosted me. Today I sent Bill a text:
"Bill sounds like a fool to me," a man on Fitness Singles (MountainLover) replied.
I had written:
"Auugh! So much for Bill. Working full time as a medical doctor, he is an obsessive, competitive bicyclist. Local police offered him an additional part-time job that he's always wanted, flying search and rescue missions in their plane.
"The result: no time for me. All he wants is sex, anyway. So much for Bill."
Now you are ghosting me, cutting me off with no explanation. This is immature and rude.
I will give your birthday gift to someone else.
It's your loss. Other men are eager to be on my dance card.
I think Bill was just a guy so busy enjoying life. For his type, there never is enough time.
I think he enjoyed your company.
"I adore you," Bill said. "One of the best memories of my life was when you took me snowshoeing up in the mountains."
"Where do you want to go?" Bill asked in March 2019. "Let's fly north and follow Lake Chelan to Stehekin and North Cascades National Park," I replied.
At 10,000 feet over North Cascades National Park, it was snowing on the plane. With a single engine, Bill turned around because there was no place to safely land in an emergency.
Returning, Bill flew steadily just 200 feet above Lake Chelan, following the circuitous curves of the lake. With no wind, the lake was like glass. High ridges on both sides embraced us.
"I can see currents changing direction," I said, transfixed. "This is magical."
"I love the way you think," Bill replied. "Most people cannot identify their own home from the air."
So sorry to hear it my dear, it sounded such a wonderful match when you told us about him. He sounds like heβs an adrenalin junkie and a pretty driven individual, but not too clued up on how to conduct a relationship. That way of just ghosting you is so immature and cowardly, you deserve much better, and will meet someone more worthy I feel sure, in time. Your many friends are here for you if you need to vent....if it will make you feel a little better. Hugs, Marje.
