    Ever fallen for the wrong woman?

    First things first... yes I have recently ended my 4 year relationship/engagement, but it was a fairly mutual agreement in the end and although it's gonna hurt, regardless because of the amount of time and effort we put in, I can say pretty confidently that I'm not on the rebound so to speak.

    Anyway, I've grown really close to this woman I work with. Really quickly too. As friends I guess.
    2 weekends ago we talked on the phone for 10 hours in the one day. That was followed by 6 hours the next day and catching a movie, lunch and a walk in the park the day after.
    Everyday for the next week we were on the phone again for 3-6 hours every night. Pretty much opening up about anything and everything, both more than we've ever told anyone before strangely.

    Pretty serious and intense I guess. But the thing is, she is so different from me. Almost opposite's I guess.

    She's quite the extrovert and extremely vain, but for some reason it doesn't bother me. Then the things that do bother me, like the fact that she is pretty open with her sexuality and need for 'booty calls' still aren't enough to put me off.

    She's just finalising her divorce to a guy who treated her badly and by the sounds of it has never been treated like a princess and wouldn't know how to take it if she were. Me on the other hand, have always treated girlfriends like that I guess and she knows that.

    I'm would be totally content with having her as a best friend for life (something we've already talked about) because she is that much of a special person to me but I am really falling for her. There's just a different connection with us and an extremely deep feeling of mutual understanding and care.

    I'm 30 years old and think this stuff is for teenagers, yet when I am with her at work, my stomach just churns and my heart beats a hundred miles an hour. It's crazy.

    So yeah, some of the stuff she says and does, can bother me but why I am still crazy about her?

    In the beginning there were signs that she wanted to be more than friends but she actually said to another friend of mine that she would like to date me but is worried she'd break my heart and even that I knew she would.

    Now though, I'm getting a lot of signs that she is really backing off.

    Anyway, that's not the important thing. If she doesn't want more than a friendship that's cool, but it's not making my pain any better. I'm a grown man who's falling for possibly, the totally wrong woman. I don't get life.

      I agree with SoMiss. Like the old saying goes, opposites attract.

      Good luck!

        Life is far too short. If she makes you happy, don't think of her as the "wrong woman".

          I agree with Geno and SoMiss say in that opposites do attract and if you two think there could be something more, then try it out. You don't want to always wonder "what if?" But be careful of the work thing. About 6 years ago I had that exact kind of friendship with a girl I worked with and we crossed the line eventually. I wanted to keep going forward but she didn't. We were left in a gray area for quite a while until she started dating a guy about a year later. It was awkward at work some days when things weren't going so good. Just be mindful of what my dad always told me (except he used a different word in this), "Don't poop where you eat."

          By the way, I am 30 as well and for some reason I do go after girls that are wrong for me. I don't know this crap at the time but it turns out that way. Life lessons is another way to look at all that.

            YEah until you get married and you are with that person 24/7. lol Any ways is she hot? If she is hot that is probably why you are falling for her. I don't know if the girl I liked was that much different then me then I would just be friends. Exspecially if she is open about sex, to me that is personal, but that is just the way I was raised. Any ways good luck bro.

              If you know she is wrong for you I wouldn't mess with it. One of the reasons you like her is probably because you know its something you shouldn't be getting involved with.

              Maybe the reason that stuff doesn't bother you is because you know you would never have serious feelings for her, and if you did that you would know it would never work out anyway.

              The last relationship I was in for a few months I was seeing this girl who was totally different from me. I knew it was never going to go anywhere because she was a little more wild than me and we were just too different. It was fun for a while getting to know each other but after that period we wanted to do different things and hang out with different people. Finally one night after we hung out we just never talked again, no phone calls the next day turned into no phone calls for like the last three months haha. Sounds similar to you. If a girl likes bad guys she will always like bad guys.

                Yeah, I talked to a girl who was totally opposite from me, and it honestly sounds like we're talking about the same girl, lol. Things were good for a while, we were on the same page w/ most everything. Then, she made some extremely racist remarks towards white people, she was bi-racial... I called her out on her disgust for a general population that she stereotyped, and we ended up having a HUGE argument and falling out.

                Just make sure that there isn't anything that you really disagree on... or else I'm going to say it won't work.

                Good luck though bro.

                              Working with her makes it that much more difficult. Your friendship likely made her situation (going through divorce) a lot more tolerable. I think you hit on some key points - she's in the process of a divorce and wasn't treated very well apparently. Now that the divorce is truly becoming final, she's probably just realizing she'll have a lot more freedom than she has for a while - it's just hitting her. If she's as open/vain as you say, she's probably liking the possibility of getting attention/having freedom to do whatever she wants. I've dealt with married women in the process of getting a divorce, or women that were thinking about it so I know from experience. Do you already feel you love her?
