guard your heart!
Hey girl, I was in your shoes once...and the way I see it you are obviously head over heals in love with him. But I just want to suggest that you let time take care of it, don't rush into it. Look at yourself 70 years down the road and ask yourself if the two of you are headed in the same direction. Also, be honest with yourself, and ask yourself why you were afraid to fall in love with him while you were dating him. It could be that it's easier now just because you're not together. Anyway, then, he's gotta feel the same way about you, and if it is meant to be, it will work out. And if not, I know it is SO much easier said than done, but try to not fret about it too much, and know that you will find someone just as wonderful, if not more wonderful, if you take care of yourself first and can learn to be happy without him. Guard your heart...it's the only one you've got!
