I've known this g since elementary and 3 years ago he sends me a message, we connect and have fun talking to each. We ended up meeting up after a month and hooking up. After, I stopped talking to him because my baby daddy still wanted to work things out with me and I was afraid this guy was not even serious about me because i have kids. I let him go although I didn't want to and went back with my abusive ex. He called me twice during a 3 year period and long story short I told him I never gave him a chance for that reason and he told me that I never gave him a chance to prove it. The last time he called me we had the best conversation and he even said he thought he was falling in love with me. Once again I was afraid of letting him in so I told him I couldn't be with him and he even asked me once again why I could not let myself be loved? That broke me, but I still walked away. He called me and I would never answer. Few months forward and I had a mental breakdown and called him. I finally let him know how I really felt about him and then when we were going to hang up he asked are you sure ur going to call me back and I said yes... you could hear the worry in his voice. I never did! Forward a few months later and here I am wondering why he hasn't called me and if I scared him off because I told him how I felt or because he got tired of waiting. I finally reached out to him and I told him casually that I was sorry, but that I was going through things. He was very nice about the whole situation, asked me right away if I wanted to hang out in the evening and I said I couldn't because I genuinely couldn't. We talked all day through text and also the next day he commented on my social media story and he started a conversation that lasted all day. We said our good nights and I haven't heard from him since. It's been 3 days. What can I say to let him know like hey I'm ready to try this if he is too without coming on desperate or is it too late for me?
