What step are you on now and what would the next step be?

Ask for goodness sakes!  How are you going to be able to find out if things are going to get better if you don't take the next step.  Are you going to wait and depend on him?  He is probably totally oblivious.  You might have a long wait.  SOMEBODY needs to make a decision.  Good luck!

Depends on how you feel.  If you decide and wait then you could miss out but if you go forward with taking your friendship to the next level, there are going to be things that are different.  First off, you need to analyze the entire situation.  Sometimes being in a certain relationship is best for the two that are involved.  My advise for you is to continue to keep your relationship going, be open about how you feel with him and yourself.

You dont know. But thats with every relationship. We take a chance hoping that whether close or distant relatioships will work out. If the two of you are really commited then it will work out. So take a chance! It will be a learning experience

no..but judging from what i've heard personally about your relationship...you deserve a lot better, ben. *hug* a LOT better. besides look at ya...heck, darn, man...get out there! but wait for the right one to get serious with.

it depends on how long you have been with this guy and  ask yourself if he's worth it. the ? is would he change something about himself. what he's doing exc.. if he says yes then go ahead and switch.just make sure he knows he owes you one

I believe in second chances so if I were you then I would casually date him for a couple months, maybe like once a week and just see if he has changed. Don't commit yourself to him and don't let him suck you in. Be sure to make yourself happy, like going out with your friends some nights. If you spend all your time with him your going to get blinded. Who knows, maybe someone else will come along and you will suddenly no longer want this guys attention. But make sure that he knows your not committed and your an independent woman.

If you really find her to be worth pursuing, go for it.  But if you have doubts about her separating herself from past relationships, it would be best to sit back (and maybe move on) and wait to see how she's going to be after a while.  If she's still having emotional issues with her past, the best thing to do is to move on completely, before you become her past as well.

I'd say...I jumped into this relationship and now I regret it. I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I need out. Then, leave. You are right, if you keep on it will hurt more later and I promise you...the longer you wait, the harder it will be to do.

Get to know each other and take it from there.  And let your heart and feelings guide you in your decisions about your relationship. And be yourself you might as well start now so you don't have to be someone you're not just to make them happy.

if you both have the same feelings for each other then go for the next step cause in some cases its better to date someone that you are friends with first.

You have nothing to lose so go for it, if you dont act on it right now you will then say...if only i had told her...so just give it a try.  If it doesnt work you can just move on like you did when you first left her...

First of all u should do what's best or comfortable for u. Do what I did. Set a date and if ur feelings toward him don't change and ur not ready to take the next step,then don't!!! If he truly cares for u and doesn't want to lose u, then he'll wait. If not, move on.

you definitely should. isn't it time that the both of you made another step toward the ultimate commitment to each other? you have been together this long and have already talked about getting married. i think you should do it. god bless both of you.

If you believe that he'll be in your life and know that he's the one for you, and the most important question are you ready to take that big step in your guys life then I think. Yes go for it. But if not i would wait unti you are ready.....

You don't decide it. In my case, I just did know it was the time to give the next step. I guess usually when you spent time with the woman you like and accept that you like her and want to be with her even though all of her defects and faults, you decide to take the step. Good Luck\n\nPS --> Cooking is a plus! :OP\nPS2--> It worked for me till now.

A decent professional woman really take relationships seriously, so before you proceed, you need to study her from a distance, take some time and if you are sure then go for it. A casual relationship often turns into a closer one.
