One of my (Many) Problems – Messing Up a Sure Thing

I am going to be doing another monthly post.  I am going to share a problem I seem to be experiencing and take suggestions on how my readers think I might be able to fix it.  This particular subject will likely cover broader subject matter because I have problems in a lot of areas.

One the things I do when I want to have sex with someone (and it really doesn’t matter if I genuinely want something with the person or I just want to have sex with some guy I know who is cool,) is that I get over eager.  Being over eager looks like A) you are desperate or B) you are going wind up crazy, making everyone involved life hell.  I am not desperate.  I have no issue getting laid but I am selective and thus do tend to get excited when an opportunity presents itself with someone I would actually like to sleep with.  Crazy Teri typically only shows up when I actually really like the guy I am sleeping with but haven’t bothered to tell him so thus becoming clingy and weird when said sex is over.

Right now I am interested in a friend.  It isn’t the” I want a relationship” interested; actually the whole situation is appealing to me because he lives in another state, he is a good friend of mine and I am physically attracted to him.  A relationship is out of the question.  It just so happens that at one point (I’ll explain that in a minute) the feeling was mutual and we even had a plan.  But then I started getting excited about it.  I am seldom attracted to my friends.  Typically even if they are hot I know too much about them and they just aren’t an option for me at that point.  Long story short, I don’t know many guys I would sleep with.

I digressed. So I start getting excited about our plan and I start talking to him about it, a lot… too much.  I asked if he was still coming and when.  He started getting annoyed and so I apologized (Crazy Girl!) And now, although he is far too sweet to say so I sure he thinks I want a relationship.  The whole appeal of him visiting was because there wouldn’t be any of the pressure of us actually wanting a relationship because it seems so logistically impossible and I really would love to see him.  That is why I got so excited and was pushing for him to come.  For me it is the best possible scenario in a non-committal relationship.  I know he cares about me and would never intentionally hurt me.  I know we will still be friends afterward.  And he is hot dammit!

As I have said time and time again, I like sex but I am not sleeping with someone I am not attracted to.  I need to be able to trust my partner and feel appreciated.  But I can’t get overzealous about it.  I am bummed because I really think I fucked this up.  I know we will always be friends but I wanted to get laid.  I need to stop making a thing out of everything.  Advice is welcome.
