Question - (24 August 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 24 August 2008)
A female Canada age 30-35, *yleerox99 writes:

Me and a good friend of mine recently admitted to having feelings for one another... again. He's hurt me before, and kind of scared me... so I'm being extra cautious. His relationships also have the tendency to be very short. But I can't help liking him...

We hung out today, held hands, cuddled, talked alot about stuff... and he kissed me, but I really held back. I'm just so afraid of being hurt again. I told him that I feel like we need to move slower, because I don't want to ruin it again. He replied with 'Yeah, sure, okay.'

I really like this guy, and I don't want to lose him, what should I do?

Ask Reanne :) agony auntWell you cant help who you like can you babe?

but the thing is he is one of your good friends and jus think about the relationship affecting your friendship i have been in this position before and its not nice i know how your feeling right now.

Its good he can express his feelings but he should understand a bit more that hes hurt you before and you need time to rebuild the trust.

I know you feel that you cant trust him at this moment in time but he obviously does like you because he wouldnt of got back with you. And also most boys only have short relationships with girls because they are very scared to get close to them. But best of luck and hope you too are happy. Let me know how things go yeah.? (: Take Care x
