I wouldn't let a kid, yes 27 is a kid determine how I feel about myself. He was having his "older woman" fantasy and you were having other needs met. But, relationships run there course and you're wasting energy, precious energy that you can never get back unless you cease any thoughts of him and think forward. Start by treating yourself to something just for you and certainly for your inner child who desperately needs some attention!

Dear Amuseme,
I know it is pathetic to suffer for a kid, but deep inside I don't feel I am 50, I felt like a teenager while I was with him. It is the child in me that doesn't go away. He is just a symbol of my youth. It has been to hard to accept the fact that this kind of relationship will never happen again.

You don't know what the future holds!!! Release your energy and be grateful for the love you shared at the same time. Wish him well and thank yourself for trusting in love and that it will happen again as long as you love yourself so that you can keep your heart open. This applies to all aspects of disappointments in life and I've had more than my fair share, but I work hard at gratitude so that I can move forward. The dividends are well worth it. You have nothing to lose and you will stay alive in the real sense of the word. Peace & love to you and gratitude for the opportunity for me to express what is in my heart. Elaine

Dear Elaine,
I guess that what makes it so difficult to forget this buy is the fact that since I was a teenager I wanted to meet a guy like him. All men I dated in my life didn't treat me with such romanticism.
He was a virgin and was really scared of losing his virginity. When the time came for us to meet in person he froze.
I have only good feelings about him. I wish I could hate him so I could forget him. But is this admiration I feel for him and for all he has giving me that doesn't allow me to forget him.
