i have now a suitor now and he lived on the next street of my house, he always visit me and having good times for sharing our thoughts, he said he likes me very much and he love me too, but i cant feel the excitement and shrinking feelings for him, i think i am still not ready to love again maybe due to my past. maybe i am afraid to love because in the end i could hurt and cry again...

Just be honest to that suitor, tell him you are not yet ready for his love. In time you will be able to move on and be ready to love again. Just try not to speed the process up. Take things slowly, if you are not ready to love now then don't push it. Get to know more of your suitor and try to thing of the mistakes you had in the past with your ex. Good luck with your love life :)

Am bit confused, as per your profile, you are male, but your picture is female. We have a say, a mother whose son was bitten by snake is afraid of a rope, similar is your case becoz of the past history Wish you love this man, if he is sincere and honest Thank you so much.

Take care your time. Love will always be there for you. There's no need to hurry friend. Soon you will find true love and you will enjoy it. I don't like relationship on the rebound because it is bound to fail as one is just using the other to forget past relationships. So take your time. If you are ready to love again, it will just come to you. Good luck!

Don;t be afraid to love again my friend. Sometimes in order for us to mend the pain of the past, we should look forward and let our heart love again.

I have been single for almost 2 months now and can also say am not yet ready to commit again not this sooner. I am happy for where I am now, though I cannot say I had moved on. I just do not cling on what is my past. I have cried and yes hurt too much, but I do not hope for the reunion. I want to move my feet forward and not backwards. I have suitors too, but I would always tell them straight that I am not ready to commit. With you, do not give them hope. Just be yourself and tell them what you really feel. I think, boost your spiritual relationship with God now for you to release that pain caused by your past love. It is not easy to forget, but it is a relief when you commit with God for now.

then just enjoy the moment. atleast its good to know that you enjoy his company. this is a good way to forget. dont close your doors to anything just ebnjoy the moment. its okay for you to go out and enjoy, its the end of the world as you see there are still options for you. there are a lot of fish in the ocean.... though you are not yet ready then just go out and have some fun. being honest to yourself is good.

Don't think about the pain, my friend. Love never stop looking for good things and please be wide open with your heart and mind...

I guess you are a Filipino like me. I am not telling that all Filipinos are like this but I'd seen some Filipinos, mostly my friends and people I know, can easily say they love a girl or a boy even on the first time they met each other. Or even a week after they met each other. Sorry but I never believe in love at first sight. We may appreciate and like someone in an instant but loving someone takes time. How could you say you love a girl or a boy, if you don't know who he/she really is. Well Good thing you are taking your time. Don't rush things especially matters of the heart. When they took your heart, he already took everything. Good day!

Although we or someone has experienced heart breaks in their life at one time or another, we cannot be afraid to love again. Not allowing the heart to mend will cause the person to become bitter. If we do not allow yet another opportunity it is almost like saying all men/women are terrible and we cannot enter a relationship with this type of mentality because not all men/women are alike. Best of luck.

In 2010 I got a divorce from my best friend. He was my best friend before we got married, after about one year of marriage he messages me and tells me he doesn't love me anymore he wants a divorce. That was one of that hardest thing to go through for me, but I survived not because I was afraid of love, but because I was able to learn to love myself. I realized that my past only affected me because I forgot who I was and what I had. I took time to search my heart and soul to redefind my life and what I wanted from it. Once I realized who I am, where I was going, and what I wanted love found me. Like you I was scared like crazy and thought he would only hurt me, but someone told me something that helped me. "If you keep looking back, there is no way to life in the present. Life will pass you by before your ready to live again." I hope this helps you as much as it helped me. Good luck, and remember love is patient so dont rush into anything you are not ready for.

hey asliah.. :) if i were in your shoes, i'd give time for myself to heal.. if you say you're not ready then you should not force it on yourself.. although you should keep an open mind about love but also, tell him where you are right now, that you're still mending and stuff like that, so that he would also know where he stands in your life as of the moment.. you can still be good friends and just see where it will lead you.. but dont give up on love. :)
