hi,

i am totally confused about what i should do. i am going through a divorce, my husband walked out on me and my son for another women. i have been on my own for 10 months. i guy i know is very interested in me and i can't stop thinking about him! it's like were playing a cat and mouse game, he's always driving past my house and showing up where i am but doesn't approach me and i feel too nervous to approach him, i guess i'm wondering deep down inside, what if it doesn't work? am i just on the rebound and want to feel loved? i've felt this way for 2 months now! is it love are lust? is 10 months enough time to move on , i am totally over my soon to be ex but he hurt me bad! what should i do?

is he married? If he is then you are in for more pain and lonliness than your soul can handle.

If he isn't, it's understandable that you want to feel loved, but after such a difficult time learn to love yourself first. Give it a bit more time perhaps. Then you can approach a new relationship without still being in agony over what your ex did. Love on the rebound can hurt as well, you give too much and can end up feeling even more vulnerable. If 'he' is sensitive maybe he knows you are recently separated and feels worried about approaching you.

Whatever you do I wish you well

If you're totally over your ex, you're maybe in need for some TLC. If you like this guy take the bull by the horns and go for it!

Take things slowly and don't expect too much out of the relationship, that way you won't get too hurt should it not work out.

Life's to short to be lonely, enjoy your new freedom and don't live life alone in fear of being hurt again, not all men are the same, some can be caring, loving and faithfull partners.

Get your glad rags out and get back into the dating game, sure you'll meet plenty of frogs, but there's nothing like kissing a prince!

good luck!

Aunt Sally agony auntOnly you will know when it is time to move on. It can be a very lonely time when you split up and your emotions will be raw. You have nothing to lose by going for a drink with this man, but don't expect too much too soon. Just bite the bullet and ask him. He appears to be interested in you too. If it doesn't work - put it down to experience. No one is perfect so don't expect to always get it right.

Good luck!
