The Difference ....

I know there's a difference between love and really caring for someone and honest. I think I just really care for my boyfriend. Not love him. He's so amazing and sweet and always making sure I'm ok. But the only problem is..... he has a kid with his ex wife and I don't know how to do the whole sharing thing. He has no feelings for her whatsoever. But they share a kid together and it honestly makes me feel some type of way about him. My rule is ... never date a guy with kids. Because of the drama behind it. Now I'm 24 and he's 39. And his daughter is 9. We're also long distance. Seeing each other once a month and only on the weekends. It gets hard. Just recently because me and him have been doing good. His ex says she doesn't think it's right that his daughter is around him because he's dating me. Yet he lives on his own takes care of himself and is an amazing dad. While she's sleeping with another man and has 2 kids by him and they aren't together and she's never home looking out after her children. Her mother is... hypocrite much. So my thing is... I may have feelings for my best friend who lives in NY. Our personalitys are the same we fight like a married couple sometimes and I just know so much about him and he knows so much about me. But we've tried this before and it didn't work out. He wasn't ready so I let it be so we decided to be friends. But everytime we talk or FaceTime or just anything (him sending me gifts) those feelings come back. I asked him if there was a chance we could be together would you ... and he told me I'm just focusing on our friendship. Which is cool cause I don't wanna loose him as a friend. But... I'm at a cross road. Either be with my bf and throw out my rules about dating men with kids ... or just be single or try again in the future with my best friend. Or just not even bother .....
