I posted here a few days ago about a message I finally got from the guy that ghosted me. This post isn’t exactly about ghosting, but hopefully seeing my previous post will help you guys understand and help me understand why I’m feeling this way?

Anyway, before I got ghosted, I was mainly focused on the guy I was talking to. I met him through a dating app and I had other matches including another guy who I fully just wanted to be friends with. After getting ghosted I decided to go on a date with him. It went well and he was super sweet, but came on a little stronger than I was ready for. I told him why I was hesitant and he understood completely and took a step back while still being sweet and maintaining contact. We hung out again and it was just as fun and it felt like I didn’t have to pretend or put on an act. I could just be myself. Now the problem is I’m scared to jump in. For a few reasons. I really don’t know if I’m okay after being ghosted. I don’t want this guy to be a rebound of sorts to get my mind off of the other guy. Second reason is I feel like he’s too nice? But that’s my problem, clearly! I keep going for these emotionally damaged and vacant guys who will and have dropped me with little to no reason why. So a nice guy should be a good change of pace right?

I just don’t know what to do and I can’t tell if my uncertainty is valid or just me being scared because of what has happened.

Any advice?
