what to do...

I recently started dating someone. I had decided before that I wanted something casual because I didnt think I was over my break up that happened about 8 months ago...I have consistantly met guys/dating casually/hooked up with someone ever since it ended. But i didnt care for them and no one cared for me it has begun to wear me down.

But now I have met someone that is a friend of a friend. We met a couple years ago but have now starting dating. I wasn't looking for this but it has hapened and I have known him and know a lot of his friends etc. I care for him as a person. I can tell he cares for me/respects me but I have been feeling down. I feel like sometimes I feel worse when I am with someone. My friends tend to disapprove, no one is ever good enough for me in their eyes...so then I think well i should look further because I shouldnt settle and then I think to myself how do you know when to stop...i mean no one is perfect!!

I kind of just want to make this work on some level because i want a break from the single life of no one really caring etc. And of me not caring...i was just starting to feel like an unfeeling person...i feel like i should care about someone again even if he doesnt turn out to be the one.

Is this wrong or what?

No one here can predict how a relationship will turn out. You just have to go with your feelings on this guy and take it very slow. Don't rush into things, just take your time and whatever will be, will be.
