CONFUSED OVER THE NEW ONE?

I have a situation and need some advice.  We all know that I have chosen to just wait and not really be involved in a relationship.  However I am beginning to think that the creator has an odd sense of humor because just when I said no it’s not going to happen this person who I’ve been talking back and forth with who is also a female veteran like me mentions coming to my town this Saturday and that she is going to call me while she’s in town so we can hang.  I have to admit it was almost like one of those Suzanne Westenhoffer moments where she doing the bit about Martina Navratilova.  You know the “ I love my girlfriend, I love my girlfriend I love my girlfriend, oh my god what’s my girlfriend’s name?”  Thing is I don’t have a girlfriend and I am of the point of freaking out.  I don’t want to be involved with anyone, but she is someone who how can I say it.  My sister who is straight saw her for the first time today and was like damn she’s hot. She’s older than I am and if there were ever a time when I could look at the creator and smile over getting what I asked for it would be to her. She’s a muscular butch, lives 10 minutes from me, and fits all of my lists. However I am totally scared. Anyone got any advice. I know yes if I do decide I’ll take it slow, however I am also thinking about telling her that as she knows I just got out of a relationship that ended horribly, is it okay if her and I hang out as friends and get to know each other first.  Sometimes life is confusing, but me I’m just confused.

This is just a copy of a post I made to get some advice out there.

i think that if she respects u then she should respect your wishes with taking it slow.let her know about your past bad relationships first. i think starting out as friends and getting to know one another can only make a relationship stronger. the heart grows fonder. good luck

What ever relationship one enters should always be entered slowly and given time to grow,start as aquaintance then friends and build from there. A relationship should be one of communication,trust and shared interests and mutual respect.Anything rushed appears as rebound.
