I wouldn't go telling the new guy you want a relationship with him. Not yet. I suggest you stay in contact thru the summer. a little flirting never hurt anyone. You will have a better idea if he likes you and hopefully you will have a better understanding of his intentions as well. Slow and steady!

The other guy~ perhaps you didn't know him better. You just knew him longer and there is a difference. With the new guy you get to see how he interacts with people, the type of people he hangs with, body language, and everything else that helps form our opinions. With the last one you had your imagination/fantasy and his words. He became the perfect guy.

I am so sorry you went through that, it had to be emotionally devastating.

I know that isn't easy but perhaps taking it slow will allow you to form trust and if not, maybe you can get your feet wet with a little flirting and just putting yourself out there again.

One last thing... Please be careful meeting men on the internet. All you have is what they tell you. You are so young and it would be tragic to lose your faith in humanity by dealing with mean spirited men on the internet. You deserve better.
