    Ive recently moved back to my home town. I was in a troubeled relationship where I used to live. For the last 12 months there had been a few "breaks", basically it has been peterting out for a long time.

    Since moving here Ive met a few people I used to know when I was a child, I wouldnt say Ive become great friends with anyone but I would have a drink with them if I bump into them on a night out. Theres one guy in particular that I'll admit I find myself attracted to, but obviously because of my relationship status being up in the air I never gave him any indication of this nor thought anything more of it than hes a nice attractive man.

    One night however I bumped into him and we were chatting for a while and realised everyone else had left. He offered to walk me home and when we were saying goodbye he tried to kiss me. I was taken by surprise because he hadnt been acting flirty although he had been saying things about feeling it was time he met someone to start something with. I told him sorry that Im seeing someone and that was it. Ive met him since and theres no awkwardness over it which is great.

    In the last few weeks my relationship has come to an end. And I seem to have developed a crush on my aquaintence. Ive been encouraged by friends to ask him out. I still have feelings for my ex though, the relationship is over and it was rocky for a long time but he's been a big part of my life. I suppose thats normal though. Im also unsure if my aquaintence is actually interested in me or was just chancing his arm after a few too many drinks. Opinions?

    There's no way of knowing if the guy is interested in you but I would hazard a guess that he is if he tried to snog you. Which is good news except that you're obviously not over your ex. Personally I'd be cautious about getting involved with someone new when you're still obviously hankering after your ex, that wouldn't be fair on him or on giving a potential future relationship a shot at actually working. Maybe take a little bit more time out to process the break up and then make your move.
