writes:This is a really stupid question but I've been worrying so just want some reassurance. I split up with my boyfriend of 7 years a couple of weeks ago (was a long time coming) though we are still living together and will do so until after Christmas which sucks but is necessary. Went out last night, had a few bevvies and met this really cute guy at the pub. He seemed to spend most of the night chatting to one of my friends but I liked him so left him my phone number written down. He then texted me when we had left saying I had left my cardigan in the pub (which I hadn't - it was my friends - but he might have thought I did it 'on purpose'). He said he'd 'keep hold of it for me' and put a kiss on the message. I went back and one thing led to another and we were kissing as I left. I was quite drunk but I don't think he was really. When I got back to my mate's house I texted him saying 'Hey. Fancy dinner some time?'. He texted back 'Yes dinner sounds good. I know some good places to eat. Tonight was good. I will text you soon xx'. Apart from overuse of the word good I can't work this message out. I'm not used to dating or anything and now I'm panicking cos I think I came on way too strong - dinner and everything. I'm 27 and he's only 22 (fine by me, I like younger men). Oh God, what if he texts me? What if he doesn't text me? I'm starting to regret it now LOL. Do you reckon he likes me?

He texted back straight away saying dinner would be great and then sent me quite a few cute messages over that day and the next. Then my boyfriend (whoops, Freudian slip, I meant my EX) read my messages behind my back this morning and is really pissed off. Tonight he is fine one minute then threatening to kill himself. I really fancied meeting with this guy just for a bit of a laugh and spend a night out with someone different, nothing more, but now it has been made into a HUGE deal. My ex says that I have clearly got over him in 2 seconds flat and could have had the decency to move out first (he asked me to stay because of money). He says he still loves me and thought he'd found someone he wanted to be with forever (he has NEVER said this before). Now I'm feeling simultaneously angry and guilty. I don't think I can cope with this for the next 6 or so weeks :(

 Hi
Sounds like it!
Also sounds fine to me, you asking a guy out to dinner. More women should take the lead. Dont get if you dont ask ey!
Dont be flat out txting him though. But get the balance right. You will know what i mean.
Living with the ex is a dodgy one. He might not be keen on that. I know for a fact if i met someone and they said they had only split from someone of 7 yrs 2 weeks ago and still lived with them i would run so fast i would probably trip over my urgency to get away, but thats me, i have golden rules for damage limitation (been there done it and bought the t shirt with guys recent manic exes) and wouldnt go there again. But i'm 36 with 2 kids, this guys 20. if he is cool with that, have some fun and see what happens. Could be the start of something brill!
Wait n see if he txt in the next day or so, if not then bung him a txt asking when would be good for that meal.
Keep us posted!
C xxxxx
