I met this great guy about a month and a half ago and we really hit it off. He told me when we first started dating that he had recently broken up with his ex who he dated for two and a half years. He opened up to me yesterday and said that he was frustrated because he wasn't sure if he was ready for another serious relationship right now.
You Asked: How Do I Make Amends?
Dear Sugar,
My family is in the process of moving, and while packing up some books, I noticed a number from an old friend from college. We stopped being friends over something stupid — I was young, and felt like I didn't need a friend — but that was two years ago. I was dropping both bad friends and good friends left and right; it wasn't a healthy time for me and shortly thereafter, I slipped into a depression and finally realized how important it is to keep people in your life.
