confused and unsure

a week ago i thought i had some things figured out and now here i am totally confused and almost unsure of each step i take.  my life seems to take these turns and i know your supposed to just follow the path, see what comes up next, but i just can't seem to let myself do that.  if i do i always seem to get burned or end up on the wrong end of the stick, so to say.  

let's see, a week ago my romantic situation was as stable as could be for the moment, i like him, he makes me laugh, we have a good time, BUT??  there is more that i want and i'm not sure he can give it to me...  he's not a public display of affection kinda guy, he isn't tender the way i want, he is set in his ways.  he has some big time complications that don't include me, he's never romantic, he's a talker not a listener.  

he can be tender but only at certain times, he will hold my hand but i'm always the one doing the touching.  until now i guess i was able to look past all that and just accept what he was giving.  now it's sunday a week later and something else has come up.  

there is someone i really like, he intrigues me, he compliments me, he makes me think, he challenges me to want better, and he listens when i talk.  i know he isn't perfect but there is this something that draws me to him and yet deep down i know he would never give me a chance...  i'm unsure of why i feel that way, i just do...  maybe cause we got the cart before the horse and to him i'm just "fun".  i talked with the one i'm seeing(kinda) and all the while i'm wanting someone else?? 

this makes me feel horrible, i never wanted to do this or expected to feel this way.  i can leave things alone and see where the road leads, but then part of me wonders if i just wait then i may end up alone??  

i want forever...  doesn't have mean a ring, but i hope it does.  i want that one person who i know is mine and who shares the same sort of things i do...  someone who is tender/soft/unyielding/a leader/smart/talented/has some untamed part of himself/understanding and more than anything who wants me...  

guess i'm too picky or expect too much??  i don't know what to do, i don't wanna hurt anyone but i don't wanna settle either.  confused and unsure??  advice anyone???
