so i have been dating this guy for almost three weeks now, we've been having a great time and i'm very happy since i got out of a long relationship and i'm finally moving on. i feel i'm ready for a new long relationship, i like the feeling and the love, but this guy got out of a very nasty relationship and is afraid of commitment because he's afraid he'll be hurt once more. we've talked about out it and decided to take it slow and after that talk, he became even closer physically to me, but the past two days it's been awkward. i don't want my heart and ego damaged again, but i still take the risk but if i know i can prevent it, i will. i'm afraid i've become too close very fast and that is driving him away or is ir just because he's working a lot lately and has been very stressed? so, the question is: should i keep on flirting like i've been doing (but taking it down a notch) or tell him it's over?

it's probably just my paranoia and nothing is happening, but i'm just afraid he'll hurt me like my ex did and i want to be a step further

dirtball agony auntIt sounds to me like neither of you are ready for a relationship. You still are working through your ex issues. No harm in spending time with someone you like though, just take it really slowly. Make sure you aren't eachother's rebounds.

Are you with him because you like him, or because you don't like being alone?

The answer to that question will tell you a lot about your relationship.
