i dated a client once, and at first it was really cool. we both worked alot so it was ok to see eachother only a few times a month. we dated for about a year, and i really liked him, and i think he really liked me too. The only problem was he was really into the party scene, which im not into at all.
he ended up standing me up for an important family thing, which was hard enough for me to decide to invite him. i didnt hear from him until last thursday when he called me and appologized. i heard out his appology, wished him the best of luck and hung up the phone. I have still thought about him throughout the last year, wondering about him and what happened.
He is really good looking, has a great sense of humor and was very sophisticated. I just couldnt let myself see him again because in a way i would be betraying myself, which im mature enough now not to let happen. Im glad he called to say sorry, and im glad i was strong enough to deny the temptation. I learned a lesson in this; not to let my emotions take hold of me when im working because the chance of me getting hurt is too great.
now im seeing someone who knows me before i started in the business and he absolutely hates what i do, but he loves me, and i know i can rely on him and he has my best interests at heart.
he is part of the reason im retiring this year and continuing, yet again, my education. although im retirig mostly for my self and my own well being.
