writes:I recently got into a new relationship with a wonderful girl. She's very intelligent, caring, gentle, and has been so understanding towards me. My ex broke up with me in November and its been a tough few months getting over her. Overall, she still talks to me every so often and we both determined we still care a lot for each other, but were just in two different places (I'm graduating college; she's moving on to Grad school and we both didn't know what it would mean for us)As hurt as I was, I still wanted the best for her so I stayed on good terms. I told my new girlfriend (before we started dating) everything about my ex so that she would know the situation before we got into a relationship. I wanted her to know the truth, hands down, that there are still a lot of feelings for my ex.Despite everything, she still wanted to try dated and so we have been going for a few weeks now. She's been really great and we communicate really well, except I feel that she's becoming really attached to me. I love spending time with her, but sometimes it feels that being with me is all she looks forward to. She also seems to be falling for me very very fast. As sweet as that is, I don't want her making herself even more vulnerable considering my emotional backlash with my ex.What should I do? I really like this new girl and we get along wonderfully. However, I know deep down that I still love my ex and she'll always have a place in my heart. I entered the relationship thinking I was over her, but feelings and thoughts just keep creeping up more frequently than I thought they would. I considered it "normal" and was hoping it would pass, but now I'm just feeling unsure. I have been very honest with this new person I'm dating and have told her every single time that my ex talked to me and every time I've had thoughts about her. She's been very understanding and has supported me through out everything.What's my next move? Thanks.
