Title: Playing the fool

By: Glass88

I have been seeing my boyfriend for a few months. Before he met me, he was dating a girl for 7 months who one day stopped returning his calls. When she finally spoke with him, she said she wanted time away from him. He agreed to give her time, and eventually realized that he couldn’t wait anymore (he had waited 5 months) and decided to move on. Then he met me. I am really falling for this guy, but I’ve sensed that he’s hesitant with me, although we’ve told each other that we want to continue to the next level because we really like each other. I am beginning to fear that he is not over his ex-girlfriend and the result is the hesitancy that I’m sensing. His response when I discussed it with him was that he thinks our relationship is going in a healthy direction and that he doesn't look at me as a rebound or as someone he's only having fun with. But he also said that he's not over the anger and insecurity that his relationship with his ex caused and that he's taking it slow with me because that anger and insecurity are making it hard for him to open up. He said that he would never get back together with her in a million years because of what she did and because she's crazy. I guess I should add that he’s going away for 3 months in January…

Should I move on? I don't want to wait for someone to love me, I'm always waiting it seems. I feel like I'm playing the fool by sitting around and waiting for him to decide it's worth being totally in it. But I also really like him and don't want to give up on him. Please tell me what you think.
