How soon is too soon to date again?
So I just cut ties with this guy who has been on and off for the past 2 years. I loved him to pieces, but he is unable to commit. Whatever the reason is, I decided to move on. I'm been crying and feeling sorry for myself. I feel I am a good catch and I can't understand why he doesn't love me back. It hurts especially when he was so attentive to me in the first place. Just 2 weeks ago, he told me I was the best company for him etc... Now when we met last week, he told me I shouldn't wait for him anymore... It was very hurtful...
To take away the pain, I decided to write a journal. To those of you who are interested, here it is: getoverhimrightnow.wordpress.com.
I write about my feelings each day and what I've learned as often as I need to. I'm really committed to personal growth and taking the time to learn about myself and feeling better.
I went and hung out with another guy yesterday. We met on plenty of fish and I agreed to go out with him because he was around the area. For me, I was just trying to go out and get some fresh air. But he seemed really into me. He's a good guy on many levels. And so it got me thinking, it's only been 5 days since I gave up my last boy, should I start dating so soon again? I don't want to give up the opportunity to be with him, but at the same time, I don't want to deprive myself the time I needed to get better...
I have texted him to say that I want to take thing slow because I have had bad experience before. I then told him I was going to sleep. I woke up to 8 messages from him saying things like "we can be friends :) " "is that a yes or no ?"
I'm think I should just take it slow, I don't want to come crashing down again... Anyone have experience and advice to share??
