Sorry for another question but basically here is the situation. We're getting along great, and I decide ask her to be exclusive. While that is what I wanted now that I think about my situation I think I decided to jump the gun and tell her because I was insecure about my financial situation and the fact that I just got out of a relationship.

 

I ran out of money and now I'm peniless (I lost my job). She's not high maintence and she said she didn't mind it but one has to wonder. I was just wondering... even though I could possibly get exclusive dating going on should I tell her that we should take a break? However there is one problem.... I've gotten emotionally involved...

 

I feel so connected to her and it would break my heart not to see her.

 

There is a good chance she'll still be there when I get a job and straighten up my feelings, since she's never really gotten involved with anybody but there is still that possibillity that she'll be gone.

Until you resolve the feelings for your ex, you shouldn't enter into any new serious relationship. Casual dating is fine, but you'll only be hurting yourself and the girl if you start something with your ex still on your mind.

I don't feel anything for my ex, she is dead to me but I feel it's making me feel to clingy or something or really emotionally vulnerable... I don't know whether it's that or the fact that I feel insecure about my money situation. I feel lost and confused right now.

Ok, sorry, your original post mentioned something about your feelings for your ex.

 

But seriously, why are you making it more complicated than it has to be?

 

Boy likes girl. Girl likes boy. Boy dates girl. Pretty simple, don't you think? Don't sabotage a potential relationship with a girl you seem to really like because of something you've created in your mind.

 

Stop thinking too much, my friend. :)
