Question - (7 December 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 7 December 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Hey, I'm 17 and I broke up with my long term boyfriend about a month ago.

Theres always been this guy at school, let's call him Matt, that has been interested in me even before my ex came along. At the time, I liked Matt too but then tragically his mum died and I decided he needed some space before a relationship. Then my last boyfriend asked me out and we've just broken up after 2 years together.

The problem is, Matt has told all his friends how he's always loved me and he thinks now is his chance to have the perfect relationship we never had. However, I do not feel the same way. He's very fragile, has intimacy issues and is desperate to please me but I just do not find him attractive anymore.

I'm worried that if he asks me out and I say no

He'll be in a very bad place and might do something stupid. I know I'll break his heart If I say no! Please help! X
