Good morning, I am going to try to jump back in!!
You can come here feeling good, bad OR ugly! That's what a support board is for, and I think that's how most of us view this forum.
I think easing into this relationship to see how it goes is good. I have a friend our age who jumps in to every new relationship too fast, and it's not entirely unlike high-school when the boys WANT you, but don't RESPECT you for being too quick with everything. Take it slow, and decide if HE is someone YOU want!!! It's a two way street, ya know...
Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
