Can anybody relate??

Here is the scoop: I have very recently (3 weeks ago) broken up with a long term boyfriend and I have been spending quite a lot of time with a very good friend who has always made it clear that he would like for us to be more than friends. He is a lovely guy and there really is a spark between us... HOWEVER I just can't seem to let myself relax around him and enjoy myself. I think that it is partly because he is such a good friend I am wary of loosing that but also because I am riddled with doubts and insecurities about myself. I know that sounds a bit silly and I have discussed it with him and he says although he doesn't understand why I feel the way that I do, he respects it.

Basically, the upshot is that I really do feel for him a lot, and I am torn between "playing it safe" and just staying friends with him, or getting over all the little issues that are going around in mind and see what happens. :dontknow:

I think you need to make sure you are over your long term boyfriend first
Sometimes little issues are hard to get over but if you take it slowly you might be able to sort it out together... there's a difference between "playing it safe" and "running away"
