I have had my heart broken alot. Since my ex (which was ended about 9 months or more ago) I still haven't moved on. Now I have someone I really like that likes me. I want to be with him I am just scared I will be hurt again.. Should I trust him?
He is a wonderful guy and really gorgeous. I am just afraid to give my heart to someone again and then it be handed back broken.
Try hanging out with this boy, go on a few dates, and see how things go. Remember, you don't HAVE to rush into anything serious. By taking things slower, you will be able to build up your relationship with this new boy, and learn from mistakes that may have led to the past relationships breakups.
If you feel comfortable enough, you could even try talking to this new boy about your past. Explain to him where your coming from. If he is the great guy you say he is, then he will respect you and work with you to create a relationship you both feel comfortable to be in.

Maybe, depending on you age, probably even. It is a risk you have to take though. One of hundreds you'll take in a lifetime! Go for it. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

You deseRve to love and be loved, and although it's definitely taking a chance, it's woRth taking. Just keep youR chin up, push youR feaRs aside and be willing to give this youR all. I wish you the best of luck -- hopefully I've helped. [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
missweiner answered Saturday April 30 2005, 1:04 am: are you able to trust yourself enuough to be vulnerable.... you dont want to be paranoid but you also dont wanna give it up to easy... it does hurt. well since you ended 9 flippin months ago with your exx i would think you should be able to move on ( unless it was ReALLLY serious)... if you dont trust yourself... than than you cant trust another... but if this guy is as wonderful as you say he is... he will be there and he will make you feel as beautiful and amaizing as u really are [ missweiner's advice column | Ask missweiner A Question ]
aeromonkey answered Friday April 29 2005, 6:06 pm: Moving on/ loving again is the hardest thing. You can't let your past experiences get to you and keep you from loving again. If this guy really likes you then go for it... but don't give your heart away all at once... You can always trust someone until they hurt you. Have faith that this guy might be the one, but be careful... When someone breaks your heart, it takes a long time to heal. It's something we all know all too well.
l0stiNth0uGht020 answered Friday April 29 2005, 5:20 pm: Of course you trust him - you might get your heart broken, but that happens. Love is a risk, but you have to take it, no matter what. Otherwise you'll end up wondering what could've happened. [ l0stiNth0uGht020's advice column | Ask l0stiNth0uGht020 A Question ]

mystical_breeze answered Friday April 29 2005, 4:17 pm: I think you should give him a chance. It doesn't have to be too serious right away, but when you get to know him, make a commitment. Just because other guys have hurt you before, doesn't mean he will. All guys are different and have a different way of expressing their feelings, so get to know him before you jump into a relationship. Good luck!

cUrLyHaiReDcUtiE16 answered Friday April 29 2005, 3:16 pm: heyy .. yea go for but just tell him that if you go out with him that you do not want him to break your heart and if your hear around that he is going to break up with you then just dump him 1st so it doesnt look lie you care sorry if this advice wasnt good
LilBSUBabe08 answered Friday April 29 2005, 2:33 pm: I know it may seem hard to trust men after your heart has been broken so many times, but I want you to ask yourself these questions:
1. Has he ever done anything to make you not trust him or is it just hard to trust him because of past relationships?
2. Do you REALLY want to be with him and make it work?
3. Does he like/love you?
After answering those, if it seems that you only do not trust him because of past relationships then it is time to move on and let this man into your life. You dont want to push him away if you really like him. And, I am willing to bet that if you know that he likes you, then he probably wont break your heart. Not all men are scum, just a selected few, lol. Hope you become happier! [ LilBSUBabe08's advice column | Ask LilBSUBabe08 A Question ]

prettygreat10 answered Friday April 29 2005, 12:55 pm: That sounds a lot like me. If you both like each other, then you should give him a chance, and even if you come back with a broken heart, at least you made a great friend.
Stacey64 answered Friday April 29 2005, 12:24 pm: If you truly like this new guy, you should totally go for him. Since your former boyfriend dumped you, thats just him proving that he obviously doesnt want you, so go for this new guy, but make sure you know him well and that hes not "risky".
hope i helped
