I'm not ready for a relationship so why do I even care if this guy contacts me?

Question - (21 October 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 21 October 2010)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I went on a first date recently...it was a little awkward just because I had first date jitters. I asked him if he wanted to hang out again, which I guess I shouldn't have, but I couldn't help myself. He said that he would like to hang out again, but that he isn't looking for a relationship because he's probably going to move within half a year (most likely with me, too...and after just getting out of an emotionally abusive relationship months ago, I don't want one either). I guess it was just kind of a blow to my ego!

I already have his phone number, but he doesn't get reception at home (this is true for the place he lives in, I know from experience, we live in a small area), so he told me that he'll send me his email and we can communicate that way. Sure enough, that night he sent me his email, saying that he had a good time and that we should hang out again.

Where should I go from here? Should I even bother? Should I wait before I reply? I don't know why I really care because I'm in no way ready for a relationship, and he's a really nice person (being hot helps, too) and I love making new friends.

dirtball agony auntWell, if you had a good time, there isn't really much of a problem with having some fun as long as you both are on the same page. I would probably try to avoid sex since that will likely make you more attached to eachother.

If you don't want to go that route, you can always tell him that you like him, but aren't ready for a relationship. You would like to try being friends.
