I just got out of a hard/abusive relationship that I was in for over 2 years. It was tough but I'm okay! I've been talking to this guy who I've known for about a year now, but we've never really hung out until recently. & he's AMAZING. I love his personality, he's attractive, funny, smart, he's just...great. A few days ago he told me that he really liked me and wanted to have a relationship with me. I told him that I needed time to think about it.
The thing is... I could totally see myself being with him... but in the future... not now. Like I said, I just got out of this other relationship & I'm scared... What if I bring all the insecurities/lack of trust that were built in the pas relationship into this one? I don't think I'm ready to jump into another one right now. Although he's a great guy... I need some time to myself right now. But I'm not sure how to tell him... should I try it out and see how things go? Should I tell him I'm not ready for a relationship right now? And if I do tell him that... do you think he'd wait til I AM ready?
What do I do?
