I'll try to keep this as short as possible. I am 42 y/o wm and I the girl I have always loved is in my life once again. She has always loved me too it seems, the problem is that we both went different directions in life.

Here's the kicker. We love each other...we really do, but we just don't enjoy the same lifestyle. She really is a sweetheart, but she is just ALOT more outging than I am. She loves anything to do with water, she's a bar hopper to some extent...she just wants to live life at full throttle all the time. I'm the type who is pretty content with life, laid back and enjoy smelling the roses.

Well, if you haven't guessed already, she dumped me a while back for a guy who does a lot of the same things she does. The really do just have more in common. He dumped her for a few days and she came back...we had some really good sex for a while (which she wasn't getting from him apparently...lol), we talked a lot and I am more than willing to try to meet in the middle, but she just can't see anything past the immidiate moment. She literally "flies by the seat of her pants" as she says. Well, the guy that dumped her is back and I'm pretty sure she is going to take him back simply because she enjoys his company. She openly admits that she doesn't trust him and she knows that I am better for her...but she just can't help being drawn to this other guy. We ARE very open and honest with each other at this point.

My question is, is there any hope for us since we have so little in common. She finds me to be very boring. About the only thing that we actually enjoy doing together is sex...lol...not that I mind that! But, I just think I will have a life of trying to keep up rather than smelling the roses if I am able to convince her to hang around. Should I let this girl (the love of my life...and I know that it's the same for her too)...should I let her go and completey remove myself? Should I wait for her to get her "running" out of her system? Should I just be a friend and keep in contact in case there is a chance down the road?

Right now, I'm really leaning toward just throwing in the towel.

Thanks for the help
