I've been majorly depressed since May of last year. and I went through a lot of stuff during that time, including therapy. Two days before Christmas, my boyfriend (Kyle) broke up with me and made the whole depression thing worse, until I eventually got over that.
Well, after Kyle broke up with me, this other guy that has always been there for me through anything, being kind of like an older brother, confessed that he has feelings for me. Hes the sweetest anyone has ever been to me. I love him. But, a couple weeks ago Kyle asked me back out, and I couldn't go back out with him because he broke my heart, and our relationship wasnt that great to begin with. Anyways, since then I've been really really depressed, I got the the point where I was suicidal, and I almost killed myself. I told the other guy that I can't date him now, even though I really want to, because I think I should wait until I start to get happy again. I've been seeing my schools "crisis counselor", and I'm starting to feel better...slowly but surely. And now I'm scared to get my heart broken again. I dont know what to do, because I really want to date him. I know he would wait for me until I feel realyl ready to date him, and I want to date him now...I dont know what to do though, Im just confused. Any advice?

babeoriental answered Sunday February 13 2005, 9:35 pm: well you've got alot of options. one)you can take that risk of going out w/ him becuase i mean you can't give up a chance at love for anything two) not go out with him and regret it the rest of your life i am not trying to sound harsh or anything and i don't want you to like go through that depression again but just keep thinking no guy can make oyu do anything and if he breaks your heart then just do alot of activities keep yourself busy and forget baout him.
Karen answered Sunday February 13 2005, 8:20 pm: You should definitely give this guy a chance and date him. You never know, he may make things better for you and you will be happier and you won't be scared to get your heart broken again. If nothing changes, you should tell him that and he should understand and will be there for you. If you don't want to date him now, this guy will still be there, since he has been there for you all the time. But he could change and wouldn't want to go out with you, once you are over your depression, but there is a slim chance of that happening. So yeah, definitely give this guy a chance and date him. You will feel better. Hope I helped :)
