A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Is there any way to help the guy I like, who was recently dumped, get over his ex so we can date? He really loves/d her, and I know he likes me and wants to see what could happen with him and I... but he needs time to deal with his other confusing, lingering feelings for her. Is there anything I can/should do, or do I just wait for him to reach out to me? Thanks.

I don't know how long is reasonable in this type of situation... I would say a few weeks would only seem reasonable, but do you think it would need to be longer?

I know he likes me and wants to "take things slowly" but yet he still wants to see me within the next week or two...

I really wish this wasn't so incredibly important to me - I just want to be with him so much, I'm falling for him and feel so infatuated...

Danielepew agony auntI would do what flower_girl recommends, but I would also hint him that you are very much interested in him. I say a hint because maybe he would reject you if you were too open about your feelings. Be around, do nice things for him, and he might, just might, come you way. However, if I were you I would set a time frame for this. How long are you willing to wait for him?

Take care.xx.
