So I got out of a really toxic relationship about 6/7 months ago and I really like this guy but have been too scared to go out with him. I talk to him all the time but as soon as he says something about going out or coming to see me I don’t wanna respond. I know there’s a lot of things I need to work on and I don’t want to drag my old relationships problems into a new one, how do I tell him that I really like him but I don’t think I’m ready to date? How do I even bring it up? He’s been trying to take me out since September. Or should I just try it out ??? Do you think a person should b fully “healed” before they start dating ? I feel bad because I’ve stood him up so many times or changed plans. He might think I don’t like him but honestly I’m just unsure if I’m ready or emotionally available to get into a situation with anyone else.
