Okay, here is my story: I dated this man (Dana)for 3 months last year (from Juen-Aug). He broke up with me because he had just gotten out of a serious relationship and wasn't ready for another girlfriend. (I did not know this when we started dating). I appreciated the fact that he told me this and though I was hurt, I understood his feelings. He and I got along so great. We never fought once. When we were together we always had a great time. Well, we talked for about a month after we broke up and then he just stopped calling me back. Well, In March of this year (While I was dating someone else-Nick) I saw him while I was jogging. He said hi, and later sent me an email. Since that day, we have talked briefly here and there. When my boyfriend(of 7 months) and I broke up I called him crying. He immediatly came over and comforted me. (as a friend only). Well, it's been two months since my bf and I broke up and Dana and Ihave been talking more frequently. We have confided in each other our fears of relationships and how we always mess things up, and also how we are lonley. Well, we have been hanging out here and there, just talking or watching tv together. This past weekend he invited me to go to his sisters wedding with him. I was hesitent, but I went. It was awkward, but I had a good time. It almost felt like we were dating again. I like his friends and family and they like me a lot too. But, after the wedding he stayed the night. I didn't sleep with him, but did mess arround with him. I think that was a mistake. I don't want him to think of me as the girl he can go to for that. I don't think he thinks of me this way, but I was hoping to make this friendship more than friendship, and I think I may have ruined that. When we broke up he was very awkward about seeing me. I don't want this to happen again. I don't know how to handle the situation. I emailed him about my day, and he wrote back. But, now I don't know how and when I should contact him without him feeling awkward. I felt like he wanted to get closer, but now i'm just afraid that this may have closed off my chances. He told me that he has been lonley and that "sometimes you just miss a good thing." Is he ready to try this again? We are both very busy, as we are both college level instructors and working on our masters degrees. I would love to try a relationship again, but if nothing else, I would like to at least like to remain friends that talk. I don't know how to handle the situation. Any advice is welcome... BTW - we are both 24
