I hope someone recovered from divorce can help. I’m a 24 y/o woman. A 29 y/o man asked me out. He was a little nervous during the date but I really enjoyed it. The next week I found out he divorced 8 months ago. We talked about it, it didn’t change my desire to go out again. We’d been out another 6x, things were going slowly, a little nervously, but I’m delighted to spend time w/ him. Then he became icy on a dinner date and hasn’t acted interested. Finally he told me it was his fav place to go w/ his ex, he didn’t realize how weird it would be w/ someone new, he’s realized he isn’t ready to start a relationship, but thinks I’m an “awesome girl.” I’ll still see him through work and because I’m still very interested, I’d like to be supportive, show interest if appropriate, but give him space to work through his issues. I’m not sure what to do now, and I’m dealing with my disappointment since I was excited to meet and date him. If you’ve experienced something similar, I value your advice!
