Okay here's a little background info into my situation, I meet a guy a few months ago, we were just friends, he had a live-in girlfriend and I just wasn't looking for anything. His girlfriend ended up cheating on him and leaving him about a month ago. He was devestated and I was just trying to be friendly and helpful by letting him vent. This lead to us hanging out and we began talking about other things and eventually one thing lead to another and we began seeing eachother. He told me he'd never had a short term relationship and that he wasn't planning on changing that now and that he really cared about me. This was all fine with me and I knew he wasn't 100% over his ex but I also knew he was developing feelings for me and since I was still a little unsure, this was alright with me. Now he says he needs time by himself and that he's unsure because although his ex is f***ing someone else she keeps insinuating that maybe they could eventually get back together. He says he's really messed up and he just needs time but he still wants to talk, but just talk (he's also just talking with the ex too, which is somewhat understandable because they have a kid together). I'm okay with this for a little while but I'm starting to get parinoid. I never planned on liking this guy and now it feels like it's a fifty fifty chance that I'm going to get burned and the stress of it all has my nerves shoot. I wish I could just blow him off but the problem is he actually is a really good guy and he's trying not to lead me on, or else he wouldn't have talked to me about all of this but it's all just so hard. He said that he hoped I could wait but he'd understand if I couldn't. I guess I just need some feedback on all this. I'm fairly young and inexperienced and I'm just not used to having to deal with situations like this. So does anyone out there think I should wait a few weeks, or just cut my loses?
