So this is what he told me!

I know it's never easy opening up yourself to others again after being hurt too many times before. It's just normal for a person to be that way. But if you know that you have already moved on from the breakup and that you are ready to meet new people, then why hold yourself back from expressing what you truly feel for him? Maybe it's still to early for you but if you really like the guy, then don't make him feel that your pushing him away. Since you are attracted to him, pay more attention, give him time. Start opening more about yourself if you still haven't. Don't hide yourself under the shadows. Establish "TRUST" . I know you can't just hand over trust, people should earn that from you. But you said he's a good guy and that you're both attracted to each other. If two people such as you and him are getting to know each other a little too well, then give it a chance to develop. If he has earned your trust, give it to him. Be open. Share more things about you. Not just share and tell, but listen to what he has to say as well. Try to examine and think of what you really feel about the guy. It's not like he's asking you for marriage. He just wants to get to know you more and be with you I guess. At least he is being honest by indirectly telling you that "please don't push me away". Best of luck .
