Scared!

Quick background

 

I have a habit of jumping into a relationship too quickly after an old one, I have done it a few times. I convince myself I really like them and act like the relationship is golden. I don't know why, I just have done it a lot.

 

I have recently got to know this girl online. We like the same music,films,tv shows ( Although, she doesn't like American Dad! ) pretty much everything. We have so much in common, we have a similar sense of humor and she is really easy going and chilled out.

 

We have been getting on really well and have agreed to meet up soon, she is from the same town as me.

 

We have both been single for around the same amount of time. She just came out of a 6 year relationship, mine was 5 months but only a year ago I was with my previous ex and that was for 7 years.

 

We both agreed that we are not ready for relationships with anyone, too much aggro and issues etc. We both miss the same things, going for days out, someone to go cinema with etc. She too said that she needs to find ou who she is and what she wants, same as me.

 

I have been saying recently that I would love and need a girl best friend rather than jump in another relationship. It looks like I could have that with her, but how do I stop myself from convincing myself I like her a lot and want a relationship?

 

If we click and I know for sure then I am open to having a relationship at some point, I just don't want the same crap that happened with my ex to happen again. I don't think I can deal with 3 breakups in the space of a year.

 

Input anyone?

 

Thanks

Just work on getting to know her and be patient. If there is a spark, and you feel ready to explore it, then explore it. If there is no spark, you might just find yourself a really good friend. Nothing wrong with that either.

I'd be careful with a girl who doesn't like American Dad. Does she at least like Futurama?
