Hi everyone

I have been dating a man for a couple of months now. We had an instant connection which niether of said we'd ever felt before. We have the most wonderful time together. It almost seems too good to be true.

I'm not sure but I think he is scared of how he is starting to feel. He says thing like 'why did I meet you' and sometimes he has to stop himself from calling me. He didn't plan a full blown relationship but it seems to have happened. I'm falling for him too in a big way.

We only see each other a couple of time a week but it's always good.

I can't risk getting hurt again. Please help.

oldbag agony auntHi

Take a deep from breath and step back, keep busy when your not with him.Shift the focus away from him a bit.

When you meet a man you click so well with it's easy to fall for them,but it's early days and your only seeing him twice a week just now. Take some time to get to know him better.

Watch his actions and listen to him.Find out how he sees this developing.

Hope it works out well for you both.

You're experiencing the "infatuation" stage of new relationships, otherwise known as the "honeymoon" period. It's at this point that this new guy seems like a knight in shining armor, the perfect Prince Charming.

Your emotions run away with fantasies and you get happy simply by thinking about him.

But you also are wise enough to want to protect your heart, which shows a sign of maturity in you.

I don't see any reason to stop seeing him. Just be careful that you're not getting your hopes way too high too early. Keep things in perspective - he's a new person and you're still getting to know each other. This is extremely thrilling and it's what makes the beginning of a new relationship so intoxicating.

Try not to expect too much too early, but at the same time, enjoy the time you spend with him, and don't be afraid to communicate!!

Best of luck!

MikeEa1 agony aunta couple of months isn't very long and a couple of times a week isn't very much but it's a start. most guys are slower to move towards a relationship than the woman. don't get ahead of yourself and enjoy what you can. I hope it works out for you.

Communication is key in any relationship. No one wants to get hurt or rejected so the best thing to do is to sit down with him and truly discuss how you are both feeling. Be honest because it can and may bring the two of you closer together, and turn into something beautiful. Best of luck!

Honey, his family is alive and well. Only two of the four are allowed to be around them. And one of those is moving back in a couple of weeks. You're too young to have someone try and hurt you this way. Get out!
