I have recently split up from my partner of 5 years and desperately want to be single for a while, then I went and met someone didn't I! He is unlike any other person I have been with and I may have finally struck it lucky. Should I continue to see him or should I wait, until I feel more ready, and if to wait, how will I cope when all I want to do is be with him??? Fortunately he lives 147 miles away so we can take things slow, but I just don't know what to do.

Love happens when we least expect it or want it to,doesn't it? You say this person lives miles away, so this is really an ideal situation to overcome heartbreak. Just be honest with him about taking things slow, and if he is as fantastic as you say, then he will completely understand, and will respect your honesty and your heart! Use the distance to correspond and communicate, sometimes this is easiest as it will relieve any pressure either of you may feel. Take the time to get to know each other, because it's only that way that you will know. The worst thing that can happen is that you gain an amazing friend, right? Or at least that is my philosophy. Just don't close off your heart.

Stay with him but take it slow. If you don't and decide to stay by yourself when you are ready you might not meet anyone remotely suitable. Finding the right person can be hard to come by, people spend years looking and sometime end up making do with someone unsuitalbe. Good luck.

You have to give it a try if someone comes along that might be a maybe you have to give it ago! Try and become friends first and build on a relationship it might sound obvious but it's that best way to find out if this is the guy for you Good luck x

Tell him how you feel, but I would do a slow relationship with him.
Unless by being single for a while means you want to go out and sleep with a bunch of people.
You can still date him and go out with your friends on friday nights, ect.
If you really like him, you dont want to risk letting him go.
Good luck!

go with your gut instinct,which I believe is to go and take it slow,you obviously like him and distraction is good,it is also healthy if you dont take it too far, too soon, if you know what i mean.friendship is good at first,be honest with him so there is no confusion and enjoy it...i have been single for a looooooooooong time but through choice and with child...no fun really but the child gives me a different outlook on life.if you have none ,my advice is...keep it simple,do as your heart says and dont make any mistakes by rushing things, keep it friendly and ,who knows..you may move on..good luck

If what you need is some alone time, try being friends first. If the attraction stays, you can maybe try being more later. Make sure he knows how you feel though, make sure he knows you want to be single at the moment.

Maybe you didn't want to be single. Maybe you were just tired of being with that person and thought you wanted to be single! Love has a funny way of happening! Good Luck!

Take time to decide, maybe you just feel lonely and empty for a while, thats why your need for someone may be blinding you a bit. Check him out more.

Take it slow. If its meant to be then its meant to be. Don't lose something that is real. If you think its just for a rebound or fling then stay single. But if its true then stay with it.

I think you should stick with it but just explain to him that you need to take it slowly. If he's worth it, he'll understand. Good luck.
