Angeleyez2583 Posted May 2, 2005 Posted May 2, 2005 I just got out of a 2 1/2 year relationship about 2 months ago (a lot of you know my sorry, but he broke up with me). Anyway, I've been going out, meeting a lot of new people and trying to have fun to take my mind off of him and his bs. So everything I meet a guy, I push them away and act like I don't want to get close. I feel scared or something. I've hung out with this new guy twice. Last night I went over to his apartment and we sat and talked. He rubbed my back for like an hour, and I just kinda sat closer to the other end of the couch. I did kiss him when I left, but I just can't seem to get close to any guys at this point. Is this a case of the, I'm not ready to date yet cuz I'm not completely over the ex, or I'm too scared of getting hurt. (Both of my previous exes hurt me really bad). Any opinions?

That's your natual defenses kicking in. Good! Don't get too close, too fast. You will eventually trust and love the right person. Take it slow and easy. If this guy really likes you he'll be willing to wait and not put any pressure on you.
