2 months ago I was dumped, cruelly, by the man who asked me to marry him - one day I had a ring, the next I had a text message saying we were through because he got a job offer out of state - wouldn't even face me in person. I have not heard from him since as he has not responded to any emails, calls, etc. To be fair, we moved WAY too fast in our relationship which I had some reservations about and because of that, I wanted a long "engagement". We were only together 3 months before he asked me to marry him. (we are both in our 40's) Anyway, I've gone through the heart break, the pain, the anger, the remorse and have finally found some peace with myself and have been able to get back into my normal routine and activities again. In the course of one of these activities, SCUBA diving, I've met a new male friend who has alot of the same interests as me, and he would like to "see where a friendship might lead" for us. He knows what just happened to me and isn't pushing things, but it's obvious that he is "waiting". My concern is that it may be too early for me to get into another relationship, and I don't want to be unfair to him or to myself. I do like him, we have alot in common, he makes me laugh, we have good conversations and I feel "happy" and comfortable around him. Do you think it's too soon?
Thanks for any input...
