Why would a friend of a long long long time who is absolutely lovely now be interested in
Looking after/ looking out/ pursuing for a pregnant girl whose just been fced over by the guy that got her pregnant? Is it just me that's confused?

I think if our paths cross soon I'd maybe like to date but it wouldnt be my priority. I'd be too scared of getting hurt and don't believe I have a happy ever after. It would be lovely to have male company and a cuddle though. He seems the same as your guy...
I believe In fate though so what will be will be. What are you planning to do?

I think I want to find out - ready to get a date over with after all the angst!

I am getting big though (5 months) and I feel like the window is closing where I ac feel comfortable going on a date - id struggle with that now. Oth I do like him and of I wasn't pg I'd bite his hand off for a date. Not mu usual type but frankly I need a taste overhaul with my history!

I suppose I want to know - is it appealing because I'm a bit vulnerable? Is he someone who needs to rescue people? Does he have a fetish about pregnant women?????

If someone is pursuing you when you're recently separated, and especially if you've told them you're not in the market for a relationship, they are not respecting your boundaries - not a good sign.

If someone wants to be there for you they will do that as a friend - don't complicate things more than they need to be, concentrate on the baby for now - both of you :)

I think you are v right Bertie. I have been asked respectfully several times if I am ready for a relationship by this man - I've asks him too since I knew his history anyway - single couple of years since probably worse break up than mine!

I don't feel like I've been on a real relationship for years anyway - no heartbreak when I finally ejected exp just relief.

Ivevhad the vulture men swoop in too since thru found out I was getting divorced. - very obvious and not flattering! I'm
Confident this isn't that - just still can't get past the pregnancy thing!

I think your right if there willing to stand on the sidelines and be a supportive friend it says a lot about them as a person Smile

But is it wrong to get your hopes up or is that just natural?
