Is he making it obvious he doesnt like me??

[krkw]

I've just got out of a pretty bad emotionally abusive relationship where I've been flat out told I'm not attractive and no one will want me and 90% I completely believe this. I've been talking to someone for about 10 month and been on a few dates but I cant read him at all. I've told him how i feel and all i get back is that he likes me and any time I say the conversation onto more then chat that you would have with a friend he completely blanks it. When I started getting feelings we both said we wouldnt be looking elsewhere to see where this would go but it's not going anywhere and we are more like mates. When I'm struggling I dont feel like I can talk to him and it's making me feel quite alone and like hes wasting my time. What should I do??

I'd highly recommend reading women who love too much. I'm on a similar journey to you but stayed single. We need to get to a place where we will only accept a decent man who adds to our lives and raising self esteem and getting decent boundaries is the only way. There is no quick fix here. Another relationship would just attract another arsehole and more issues to be worked on. I'm actually very happy on my own now.
