Dear Anyone,
I recently moved to Arizona from California, and have been very lonely for my friends back home. I struck up a friendship with a retired gentleman who lives next foor to me. We began hanging out together, going bowling, shooting pool. It seemed like we wanted to go everywhere together, and he always made me laugh. I felt as if I had found "the one" and my heart started to get involved. I know he felt the same way about me as he was always holding my hand, putting his arm around my shoulder, etc. Then out of the blue, he told me he didn't love me, and wanted to "shop around". I am stunned and hurt. Why would he do this, when we seemed so perfect together? He wants to remain friends, but it hurts me to even be around him anymore. Should I remain friends with this man, or kick him to the curb just like he did to me?
