fi_the_tree agony auntI think you need some alone time, i'm in a similar situation to you, only i'm now dating the new guy. My ex has got back with his girlfriend so there's no chance of anything happening again, but i still have strong feelings for him.

Problem is i think i jumped in too soon with this new guy, i could have done with more time to myself and work through my issues. Now i get the feeling that i have to let my new guy down as i'm really not sure if i'm ready for this.

How long were you with your on/off ex for? I was with mine for 3 1/2 years and then in each others lives again for a further 2 years with no relationship.

In the end, only you can decide what to do next, you seem like the type of girl who has her head screwed on and is looking at the bigger picture and taking time to think things through. You're considering other peoples feelings which is good.

My advice is to spend some time alone, and work on yourself and who you are. Don't be dependant on waiting for something that may not happen.

Good luck!!!

I think its best to solve the problem of your ex and your feelings for him first, so you can be sure your feelings for the next person are genuine and that you want a new relationship and not just a bit of company to fill the empty space until your ex decides he's interested again.

Supposing you headed into a relationship now with this guy based on your feelings of 'Like' for him, how long would it be before you run back to the ex because there's still some feelings for him? Maybe stronger feelings?.

If you and your ex are meant to be it will be, but you can't stay around waiting for too long.

Go out with the new guy and see how it is and if you're still missing your ex it is time to sit down and talk to him about were the relationship stands. It's hard i know but that's the only way to get a clear answer.
