I believe that you like him and he might be the right guy for you I am not saying that he is not but rushing things never made something work. Take your time and maybe you need to explain to him how much you really like him but that yall need to slow down because you dont want things to mess up. If he does not understand that then maybe he is not the guy you thought he was

okay thank you.

See. I waited till my divorce was final until I actually started to date. My ex wife, on the other hand, did not, but we had discussed that if we wanted to date other people while seperated then okay. Still, three weeks after we seperated and she was in a relationship seemed way too fast for me. I felt that she just didn't want to be alone, but I let it go cause she and I were done. I just couldn't date anyone until things were done. That was just me.

Seems to me he wants you to move in with him, and that he is serious when it comes to him seeing the two of you together for a long time. Sounds like he also has some "control" issues but he is letting off it for now cause of your situation. Still, he could also be looking at you paying a mortgage and rent and wanting to help you out. But there is a risk with that too in that he could come back with a "remember when I helped you out?" or if you don't do something he asks you too, or help him out when he needs it, he could throw it back in your face. You just gotta be careful with this, and make the best choice for yourself right now. You have alot on your plate and he needs to be more supportive to you and your needs right now. You want your divorce done and over with before you move on, and he needs to just accept that.

Don't rush things. I don't know about your state but here in Texas if your still married and getting a divorce. don't dat because you can still be hit with Adultry charges. Texas does not even recognise a legal seperation. Married is Married. If you have freee time volunteer somewhere. see if your local firestation needs help. see if there are some folks in the local nursing home that need some one to visit. Just keep in mind if you do you'll get attached. Also remember that they have some very good relationship advice. If we all would have been raised by our Grandparents or Great grand parents this world would be a different place.
As far as the Divorce taking forever I know how you feel. Mine says he won't even give me one and he's the one dating right now not me. If you need to chat ~"don't Laugh"~ I have daughters your age and we have all been through this. Celibacy has some rewards!"~

you should buy a back-pack, and travel the world while your still young,,,,

stop thinking that some guy is going to fix you, or make you happy, or complete your life,!!!!!!!! take some time to explore yourself, and your dream's,,,,, a guy is not going to do that for you!!!!!!!!

I would like to say, that I don't change my plans to fit this guy into my life, I am going to college in the fall (back to it anyway) and I have done the soul searching. When I came out about my abuse I spent a year alone figuring out what I wanted.

Besides I have told him I want to see what its like to date for a while, so we date. I have gone out with a few others while dating him, and I have told him about it. But anyway, I am just confused on how I could have responded to him in a way I have never done before. I have never called anyplace home.

O.K. going back to college is a good start to finding out what YOU want to be when you grow up,!!!!!!!!! all i'm saying is be true to yourself 1st and formost.!!!!!
