i really like this guy and we hung out a couple times and made out for a long time and i'm really starting to get feelings. he used to text me all the time and now he doesn't so much anymore. one of his best friends told me that his last girlfriend was nuts so it scared him and thats why he doesn't want to get too serious with me. i'm really into him though but i'm not sure i would date him just yet because i'm still in that "getting to know him" stage, and i have a rough past with relationships too. but i just want to hang out with him but he seems to not want to because he doesn't want to get too serious. but i just love hanging out with him. what should i do?

Talk to him and tell him you just want to hang out as friends. If he knows you just want to be friends, he should say yes to hanging out. Tell him he is a great guy and you just like to hang out with him because he makes you smile. Remind him that it will just be doing something as "friends". If he says no the first time, wait a few days then try again. Eventually he will say yes and when he does, do not talk about being together or anything like that. Let him know how you feel though. Once you are alone with him, let him know that you would like to get to know him better as a friend. Talk about things you have in common and he will warm up to you. Spend the time you have with him wisely, make him laugh and smile. If he has a great time, he will want to spend more time with you :)
In time, after you two have hung out for a while, are comfortable, and if you feel you are ready for a relationship.. go ahead and get closer to him. You will know in your heart when it is right, so listen to whats inside of you <3 [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]
