Hi there,

Im 23 years old and I have been single for a year now after a long term relationship. It was a nasty breakup and i had a very low point but in this time iv learnt how to be by myself.

I have spent the last year partying with friends, going out every weekend and generally having the time of my life with the occasional unsuccessful date. But now iv hit the point where im sick of going out and im sick of the party scene! Id like to have someone again to share time with and have quiet nights in. But every time someone gets close to me i seem to drive them away and go cold on them!

There is a lovely boy a few years older than me that generally cares about me. I get excited when i talk to him and we go on i suppose what you would call "dates" frequently as well as talk every day. However when he confessed he had feeling for me and would i take it further i ran a mile. I just cant help it and i dont know why i do it.

We are back to being good friends again after i kind of knocked him back by saying "Im not ready for anything" but i know he has strong feelings for me and i dont want to hurt him. I dont know if its because im not physically attracted to him because his a big boy which makes me feel like a horrible person, or if im just not ready.

His always on my mind and as i write this tho i check my phone to see if he has texted me because i miss him, but if he asked me out again tomorrow id knock it back again. Im so confused has anyone got any advice from similar situations? Maybe i just need to stay by myself and figure out what i want? I hate feeling like this!
