Advice please - how do I approach this please....

[muffintop]

Hi, a few weeks ago I got chatting to a guy who is a friend of a friend. We got on really well had a great evening and ended up in bed - this is not something I do at all but felt a real bond with this guy.

We have similar backgrounds, he has 2 young children and so do I. He was very hurt by his divorce and I know he has great issues from this. I also went through a painful divorce and this is the 1st man I have liked since my divorce (2 years ago). We get on really well and nothing has happened further since that night only the odd text.
I really like this guy and know that he is scared or moving on and has huge bridges to cross but I really feel a great connection with him.

He know I like him and I have not pursued this. How is the best way to approach this do I just stay friends or help him move on, and if so how?

Sorry its long

sounds great! he sounds keen too so try to spend some fun time together (not all about kids) and don't get too heavy too soon - enjoy yourselves!

Thanks newgirl - can anyone else give me any pearls of wisdom!

Why not arrange a night out going for a meal so that you can get to know one another better?

could you text and suggest perhaps a drink at the pub or something?

obviously you don't want to seem to pushy, but someone has to make the next move and he sounds great

i'd ask him for a drink.

i'd text him and suggest a drink but I'd sort of say, do you fancy going for a drink next week? rather than do you fancy going for a drink tomorrow so that its less pressure

and make sure you let us know what happens!

any updates ?
