In Answer To: I don't wanna fall in love again (angel wings)

There are an number of cliches that I can feed you that would be appropriate for the situation. For example, if you are not willing to experience unhappiness, you will never experience happiness either. It is a common rut that people fall into that they close themselves off from people in order to avoid being hurt. The classic example is Miss Havisham from Great Expectations. Getting hurt #####s, believe me I know. A healing and growing time is almost always necessary after your heart has been broken, but then you have to make a choice. You can live an isolated closed off existance (which in my opinion is not really living) or you can use your last experience to approach new relationships with more knowledge and caution. I think that as you get older and more experienced, heart break becomes somewhat easier to deal with (though not much). Use your past experience to gain strength for the future. If you are really interested in this guy I think you should give it a shot. Take things slowly, this could be one of the greatest experiences of your life but you will never know if you don't give it a shot.
