I have been seeing a guy for five months. After a promising start, he made it clear he only wanted a casual relationship. I have pretended I am ok with this (I'm not) but he has blown hot and cold throughout. He texts daily but we only see each other every few weeks or so. I have tried to end things as I have found the rollercoaster of emotions difficult. He has kept pursuing things though and I have gone along with it as I like everything about him and I keep thinking he will change his mind and want to be with me.
After seeing him at the weekend, he is all keen again, telling me by text that I am gorgeous and he loves me!
I have started to feel that flippy stomach thing when I think about him. He is in my head constantly, from first thing in the morning till last thing at night. I have played it so cool but I am not feeling cool. I am worried I am going to fall madly in love and get hurt. Life is complicated for me with small children, an impending divorce and house move (among other things.)
So my question is, can you stop yourself falling for someone? Can you control the feelings? When did you feel you were 'in love?' Was there a moment or was it gradual? And what should I do - should I end things before I get seriously hurt? I could never tell him how I feel. I think he would run a mile.
