...A friend I have known for 8 years told me he has had feelings for me the entire time I have known him and doesn't care what's wrong with me.
I have had feelings for him too but he was 7 years older than me when I met him and I thought, no way...At the time...but I have always liked him. He said he wants to help me get better (he knows about what happened to me), and he asked me if I might like to come with him when he looks at condos?!? ... Whoa that caught me off guard big time...Started telling me he could see a future (so can I)....This is all a little scary. He said when he found out I was engaged (to the horrible guy who landed me here)...he, well....he wished it was him who was engaged to me and not ___. He said he never would have let this happen and he wants to do anything to help me. He doesn't care how sick I am, physically, or what happened emotionally. I am scared. Because this is real...no con artist. This is real this time...

Yack... be careful, protect yourself, but don't overprotect yourself so that you can't enjoy things that are good.
It does sound like you trust this guy and if you have known him for so long I would think that there is a good foundation supporting that trust. Enjoy this and maybe it will turn out to be something long term, that would be wonderful!

This sounds like a wonderful predicament! I for one am very happy for you! It sounds like this guy really wants you and wants to be there for you...regardless of your state of being. That is a good thing!
I wish you the best of luck!

 Love is in the air, especially when it is a friend you have known for so long. I do not know your history but I will add to the cautionary notes, make sure you are comfortable with your decisions each step of the way and slow and steady wins the race every time. Good Luck!!!!!!! Danielle V. |

He called me back...and said that he was serious...
I am scared, I have never felt like this, except for that guy ___ who messed with my head. He works horrendous hours, we are working out how we are going to see each other...once every 10 days..and I'm thinking....is that enough? I have liked him for 8 years.

I can completely understand that you're scared because of what happened before. That's only natural. If you persue this relationship, take things at a pace that you're comfortable with. From what you've said about this guy, he'll be more than ok with you needing time. All in all, he sounds like a winner. Congratulations. I wish you the best. Ry
