There’s a person you meet that you enjoy talking to and spending time with as much as anyone else you know. From the first moment you initiated conversation with this person you were attracted to them. With time, the heart grows fonder and you desire to have the relationship progress in a more intimate direction. Time passes and discussions are had, it is learned that this newfound friend is unwilling to progress. How do you accept this? Ideally you should probably continue to enjoy talking to and spending time with this new friend, but you’re unable to not be attracted to the same person. How do you resolve this problem?

I am currently faced with this problem. I have had some wonderful conversations lately and have gotten to know a truly remarkable and wonderful person. They have told me that they are unwilling to allow the relationship to progress. I want to keep the good conversations, but the catalyst for the conversations have always been my interest in other things happening. How do I get to the crème in the crème filled doughnut without even noticing the icing or actual doughnut surrounding it? I really want the whole package, but I’ve been told I can’t. The crème strengthened the attraction, how can I keep it from reminding me of the initial purpose for beginning the conversation?

*no need to comment on the doughnut reference, it’s the best I could manage.
