Hi Folks,

I need your help.. My head is near away.. and i don't know what to do..

I came out of a relationship about year and a half ago.. so this new man.. is the first in a long time due to the last one being a complete head wrecker..

The problem is i really like this guy.. alot more than he likes me i'm thinking.. he wouldn't of been my type and i can't understand how taken i am with him.. but the bottom line is.. "I am"

He split from a girl about a month and a half before me.. he only dated her for 4/5 months on and off.. but he did hav feelings for her and she finished it with him.. (which we only talked about last week)

He is being very cautious with me.. is it cause he's hurt or cause he still has feelings for her.. and i'm just the rebound?? I have so much more to give but have to hold back in case i freak him out.. Its nearly 5 months.. Am i wasting my time?? :(

Yours sincerely

confused little bunny..

Ears4tears agony auntHiya (",)

Huni, i dont think your wasting your time but this guy is obviouly still hurting, it takes along time to heal a broken heart, and even worst although sometimes you want them to feelings dont just disappear. This doesnt mean your a rebound its just at this moment he cant give you his all. Just try to be there for him, be understanding and supportive till he feels hes able to trust again and see what follows.

Just be patient, all good thngs come to those who wait xx

best of luck xxx

lovejunkie agony auntNo you're probably not wasting your time, but you're going to have to allow alot more than 5 months. He is probably being cautious because he's been hurt in the past. He may not even know for sure how he feels about you yet. Some men are slow about deciding where their heart is at when they meet someone new. If he seems to enjoy spending time with you, and you have fun together, just be patient. You've had alot more time to get over your ex and it sounds like you're still dealing with your own residual issues from that relationship too. It just takes time. I've been with my b/f for almost 3 yrs. and I think he's just now getting to the point where he doesn't miss her anymore. Hang in there!
