hi,never done this before; just thought it might help to get advicefrom impartial sources. ok so I'm english, but right now I'm living in italy. I work here temporarily and i'm teaching myself italian and teaching other people english. I've been here for 7 months and i'm enjoying it...made friends, progress with the language etc. although have to admit it can get lonely. I hate to say that I was looking for a guy to make me feel special just whilst i'm here. I stumbled on the wrong guy though and it all went a bit pear-shaped..he basically raped me, and after that I was feeling a little depressed and not looking for a guy...then out of the blue i've met this fantastic guy, who i get on really well with...he's italian, so it means i get to use my italian more and we have fun together, laughing, talking, dancing, playing music etc...and he's met my friends and he likes them and theylike him and i'm very happy...we've slept together..and i trusted him so it was nice..but even nicer than the sex, was the cuddling up all night long, and feeling like nothing bad would everhappen to me again. Now it's early days..we are still getting to know each other..but we both like each other a lot...i think it's too early to say "love" but that's what i'm scared of, because in May I think i'll go back to england, and i don't want to fall in love if it means I'll miss him so much. I'm not pessimistic or over thinking..i just would like some opinions on what you think i should do.... carry on seeing this guy..or call it off for self-preservation?
