Ask Me Help Desk - Is My Divorced Boyfriend Serious About Me?

I'm happy for you and I hope things work out. He sounds like a very nice man.
I don't want to burst your bubble or sound like the grinch here, but I'm assuming you are his first relationship since the divorce and while he may be happy and thrilled with you, you are a breath of fresh air after his divorce. He may meet someone else, may want to meet someone else down the road before he decides to enter marriage again.

I'm telling you this so that you can tread lightly here. You're on cloud 9 now. New love feels great, but at some point in the relationship you both are going to come down.
talaniman said after a divorce one should give themselves at least a year and a half. There is good reason for that.
I really do wish you well.

I understand. I do know that he went on a few dates here & there before he met me, but he didn't feel any connection with them.

I'm trying to find that balance between being completely negative & being completely careless. It's a fine line to tread. But I do have faith in this relationship. We'll just have to see how this turns out.

I think the Lord knows what we need and he has a way of fulfiling our needs by sending the right person into our lives... Kit:)

I just had to put it out there. Like I said, I do wish you the best and hope this works out great for the both of you.

Sounds like things are moving along very smoothly. Just keep building a stronger relationship and let things flow naturally.

Torrid, Good to see you back here.
So, this is the guy that has made you absent from the boards for so long?

I have to ask one thing. You said that you have yet to tell each other the "love" word? And then you asked him "if he was going to marry you"? WOW, that is eager.

He sounds like a good guy, I hope it works out for you both.

But HE is the lucky one.
