[quote=Anonymous]It depends on how you feel and what you want. If you want a relationship with someone who is equally reciprocating and invested, at the very least you should pull back and consider your options.

I’ve been in a somewhat similar situation, and this is what I did. In my case, I knew this person years ago. We had always felt a connection but due to timing had never dated. We met after my divorce and were dating for a month or two but had not yet slept together, when he experienced a personal tragedy.

I saw him a few months after that. He tried to hook up with me but I told him I didn’t do that casually. I did tell him how I felt about him and that I was falling for him. He said he wasn’t in the right place at that time, which I respected. We’ve been in touch sporadically. He sometimes initiates but rarely since his tragedy.

I still have strong feelings for this person and hope we can start again down the line, but in the meantime I decided to go on dates with other people. I want a relationship and am not comfortable with undefined “connections” if only because I find it’s distracting and drains my emotional energy at a time when I want to pour into my life.[/quote]
