Where to go next.

[shesmu]

So I had dated my ex for almost a year, and we had had some ups and downs. Towards the end of the summer I fell into a rather large depression and made the implsive decision to stop seeing her because I didnt want to burden her with my issues. I broke her heart. I was miserable for a week and then when I ran into her again, I realized that I was still totally in love with her and that I was a fool for doing what I did.

 

I told her as such, and she said that she still liked me but also had feelings for someone else. Ive spent the last month and a half trying to win back trust and affection, which I feel that I have done. I really told her everything and done all that I can. However, she says that while she trust me and misses my arms around her, she doesnt want to kiss me. I am thinking that this is because she still has walls up from the breakup? How do I take it from the level of friendship and "I like you still" into something romantic and passionate without pressuring her or making her feel uncomfortable? And also, how do I deal with the other guy? I know that he is a womanizer, as he has tried to hook up with a number of my friends while seeing my ex. Do I just focus on me and her and try to forget about him even though my stomach does a backflip whenever I think about them together? I really want this to work, seeing as I love her, and its stressing me out pretty bad. Any help would be appeciated.

 

Cheers.
