Well, I've not long been out of a bad relationship, and I'm not sure whether I'm ready for another one. BUT, I've become really good friends with another boy, and I found out over the weekend that he fancies me. I really, really like him, but I think I'm just afraid to get into another relationship. What should I do? BTW, I'm 16/f.
Down to business. I think that you should wait untill your ready. If this guy is really worth it, he'll wait for you. But if you think you might be ready, then go for it! If you like him that much, he probably wont hurt you. Well he probably will, but everyone will hurt another at one point. [ TinkerbellsHelp's advice column | Ask TinkerbellsHelp A Question ]

no matter what you may think right now its true that all guys aren't the same and this guy just might be one of the good ones.

Just let him know you really, really like him and everything, but you've currently just gotten out of a bad relationship, so you really just want to wait awhile and ease into the next relationship, so if he could just wait, maybe? If he likes you alot like you say he does, he'll wait. Just spend time together, and flirt to show you still have interest in eachother and everything, and whenever you're ready to date him, date him.
If he's willing to wait, first of all, that makes him a good guy & a keeper. Most guys would just be like,"Pft, whatever" and move onto the next girl.
It's perfectly normal to be afriad, though. It's just going to take some time, I understand what it's like trying to get back into another relationship after leaving a previously bad one. You really do just need to take some time being single, and just getting over the pervious relationship before you can fully settle into the next one. But just remember ; the past is the past, and who knows what lies in the future. This guy could be a great boyfriend, so just hang iwth him and flirt and everything, and like I said.. when you're ready, you're ready. And enjoy yourself. :]

But you just have to realize that this guy is a different person than your last boyfriend. You never know for sure how a relationship will go, so I say give it a shot and if it works out, great...if not then it wasn't meant to be. But don't let past relationships stand in the way of new ones.
