How do I know if I can fall in love again? I married my high school sweetheart and when we got divorced it really rocked my world. I have had a few relationships in the 4 years since the divorce but they never worked out. I'm in a new relationship now and I think about him all the time but I don't know if it is love or if I'm even capable of love and trust. How can I know If he's the one?

waneta61102...

Does this man you're currently dating HAVE to be "the one?"

PG thinks you're falling into the trap that many divorced women make.....which is..."automatically starting to 'shop around' for a replacement male!"

DUMB-DUMB-DUMB!

You gave no clue as to how long you've been dating the new gentleman. But isn't it a better idea to get to know the good and bad about him....before you accept any future marriage proposal? That is...assuming he offers you one???

"Love" is developed over months, even years. It is based on responsibility, trust and mutual understanding. What you have now is infatuation.

I never said he had to be the one or that I wanted to get married what I am wondering is how do you know if your in love. I'm not sure that I can love again him or any other guy but i don't think that wanting to be in love is a dumb thing and I have not jumed into this I have been alone for 4 years and this guy is the first one I want to stick around for awhile.
