    hmm, well you don't sound happy after your talk with him - sounds like you don't want the same things right now so I think I'd do what Maz says - stay friends if you want but move on...but only you know him...I've always gone with my gut feeling "Any doubt, sling 'im out" :p

    I was happy at first, because he seemed to be saying he was just struggling to adjust to dating again, and I was more than happy to take things at a very slow pace. But taking a fairly major step back seems like an odd thing to want to do, especially when it was said in the same breath as 'I'm not messing you about or leading you on'.

    I think he is actually a decent person, who is just very confused and probably not ready for a relationship. But I'm not going to nurse-maid another man back to relationship health just to watch him waltz off into the sunset with someone else once he feels ready again.

    Lol, yes it seems that way.

    Strangely, now I'm calming down, it could maybe be nice? I dunno.

    Right, enough struggling to understand it, I'll wait and see if he makes any effort to do the 'spending time getting to know each other' thing - if he does then I will go with it. But if he doesn't, or if we do that, and it doesn't seem to be progressing at all, I will just move on.

    If you see me stressing over him again, give me a kick. :)
