Still getting over a bad break-up and afraid to hurt the new guy

Question - (24 March 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 25 March 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Okay, I am/was in love with this guys for about a year and a half, but he hurt me. For the the past 7 months I've tried to get over him.

So anyway, last week i started gettin butterflies for this new guy. We've been friends for a long time and has had a crush on me for about 5 years. A couple of days ago he asked me if I loved him, and implied he loved me, he complimented me. I told the truth that I was getting over someone and I really didn't know how I feel. He asked me on a date for this saturday and I accepted. But everytime I see him now, i'm finding it seriously difficult to talk (all i can think about is what he said, how much he felt for me). He's a good friend and i dont want to hurt him, i think i'm scared that i'll hurt him the same way i was hurt. But should i date him? Is it wrong to explore how i feel about him when a possible result of that is i dont like/love him and crush him evenmore?

A part of me feels I need to more on, but another just wants to wait.

A female reader, Yetilicious United States +, writes (25 March 2011):

Yetilicious agony auntJust let him know that it's way too soon for you to LOVE him, especially after a break up, and you're not sure if you like him in the way he likes you yet, but you are willing to give it a try. If he agrees that you can be friends if it doesnt work out then go for it.

But a side note, you are NOT just a friend to him. So once you explore "your feelings" there might not be a way to go back to being "just friends".
