Take it really slow. One step at a time. Get to really really know each other.

one day at a time. don't let fear keep you from enjoying life.

chrurop is right. so is snglefath. Love is always a risk. No garuntee's. Love is also unconditional. Are you ready for the risk? Then be bold and go for it.

All the hard work you did on your past life, was it all not to prepare you for this? So you would be able to love again? If your ready. then go forward.

"Get really envolved"?

Hmmm...

Take it slow. There's no rush for anything to happen. If the feelings happen, great! But it's not fair to expect anything is going to happen, that's way too much pressure on each of you. But as long as you're honest with each other about your expectations and where you are emotionally, that shouldn't be a problem.

From the way you're describing things though, it sounds like those feelings have already been ignited. So just see where it goes.

Thank you for that quick respond really appreciated. And yes one day at a time and take it slow is the key. Have a great weekend and HUGS!!!!

Well Ms Betty I think you will know because of the way you will be filling for that person and if you want to now or later that's ok to because it's your call! me maybe I would go for it and see what the outcome will be but do it when your ready good luck and God Bless from your friend!!!! Peace

Me and my ex split up 4 months ago, I still love him dearly but have accepted he does not want me. I met a guy a couple of weekes ago and we are getting on great. He is divorced and was hurt bad just like me. I am going with the flow and just enjoying the moment, I am not thinking too far ahead, I just think I am happy now I am not worrying about tomorrow.

As long as any of us live love will remain risky business. It has always been like that, and always will.

I wish one of those telemarketers would call and offer me one of those extended warranties for love, like they do on cars...lol.

Remember: the best of relationships develop out of friendships. Its had to think of losing a friend if things don't work out. Just don't jump right into bed with him.

How long has it been since you got out of the last relationship?

Take care and proceed cautiously. Know what you want and take it slow. Make sure to get some counseling so you don't stumble back into another potentially hurtful situation.

But don't be mistaken, if this guy is great then I am really happy for you and hope it works out because you deserve it.

In the new relationship I have just gotten brave enough to jump into, we talk alot about healing - that healing is the whole point of the relationship. Going through this pain together can be a good thing and can really bring us closer together. I told him the other day that I am daring to hope that it could be different - that it would be worth taking the risk of getting hurt again. That said, while he thinks we moved slowly, I think we moved quickly and have recognized a few issues that have cropped up because of that. Anyhow, I don't regret it - he's been great for me. I have grown and healed so much just by knowing him - not to mention kissing him (as my ex never kissed me the last 10 years or so). So, put a new relationship into perspective and make sure healing (together) is a priority!

I'm going into 5yrs. being divorce next month. I gave my ex another chance 3 yrs. ago, he said he had made a huge mistake. I beleived in him it's been about 2 months ago when I asked him to leave, I did not have piece of mind and I realize that I have fallen out of love along time ago. I have known this guy for 2yrs. talk here and there but for the past 2 weeks ago we realize that the connection has always been their but too scared to get involved.
