Terrified - met a guy a really like. Now what?

P.s. He's also past the goofy years of 20 - 23... So could be in a stable more mature relationship.

It seems like it all depends on what you are looking for right now. Are you looking for a serious relationship, or do you just want some companionship right now and someone to help you forget your ex? I hope what I just wrote came out okay? I support you 100%, although it's hard to know if that is coming through with what I am writing.
When I went out with younger guys it was mainly for distraction and to keep me from feeling alone, although I wasn't aware of it in the moment. Although looking back I can see that all of those experiences were lacking in any real emotional depth, but I don't think that has to be true for everyone.
Just take things slowly and don't put too much pressure on yourself to contact him. Let him come to you. I think that you sound like an amazing catch.

You guys are really cool. And unbelievably optimistic for crazies He seems pretty grounded. His last relationship was 3 years or something. And the girl was a bit uh tempestuous, so maybe he's into that. Who knows. I hope so!

Mooshoo. I have no romantic feelings for my ex, and I had a f-buddy who served the "get over it" purpose. I still have some obsession issues. I talked about them with my therapist today. You are very kind to call me an "amazing catch." I feel like an incredibly flawed, psychotic mess who can't even keep a friend, much less a man. One day at a time. What do I want right now? Well, I've always wanted a relationship - monogamy. I'm just terrified because it hasn't worked out so well for me in the past.

I think the young guy thing just happens to be because I work at a uni and there are a gazillion young guys - grad students and such.

And I know you support me Moosh. You are da bomb.
