Moving on through the stages

Out of a 12 yr relationship last year and reconnected with the ‘one that got away’ from my early 20’s about 3 months ago - he contacted me. Instant chemistry & connection and we have been contact every day ever since, meeting up, him staying over occasionally (he is also divorced).

We have talked about the past and realised we were just really young and he was gutted that I moved on (to 12 yr guy) seemingly so soon. But we were both in love before.

He told me he has feelings for me (and me him), he has been nothing but sweet and complimentary etc but he is worried he is carrying baggage from a messy divorce (finalised in Feb 2022) so said he is worried about actual commitment.

I Don’t know if he is stringing me a long a bit or if he is genuinely interested and just being really honest?

Hmmm can't you just give each other some space? Slow it down until you feel more certain?
When did you get divorced?
Do you have kids?

Sorry just read again and see you've been single for a year.

Why would he string you along?

Well you won't know unless you give it a try will you?

Maybe he doesn't know 🤷🏻‍♀️
