For context:

We met 10 years ago when he was in high school and I was doing an internship at this school. I used to think that he and his twin were cute but they were like 17 and I was 22.

He added me on fb after they graduated and I moved to another city for grad school and was living with my then boyfriend (we were together for 9 years). We would occasionally talk but we were never friends.

On oct´14 my ex and I had a very nasty breakup and I moved back to my hometown. I was a mess and I hated all men. About 5 months later this guy (Lets call him C) texted me out of nowhere and asked me what I was doing that night. I told him that it was my day off and that I wanted a beer and he invited me to a bar to have one. I went out with him expecting only to hang out with someone new. We had a great night and when he took me home he told me that I was his HS crush. At first I had issues with the age difference (by then he was 26 and I was 31) but I had a great time with him, not only is he hot but he is also very smart and has an awesome sense of humor.

We dated for a couple of months until one day he asked me what I wanted and expected from the relationship. I had to be very honest with myself and although I liked him a lot I was still very hurt from my break up so I told him that I couldn't give him a relationship. A few weeks later he met another girl and I told him to give it a chance with her, I needed to heal myself first.

Well, they dated for 2.5 years and about 2 weeks ago I heard rumours that they had broken up. Two days ago I got a friend request for him on instagram and I accepted him but that was it. Tonight I saw his profile on fb and that meant that I was unblocked (his ex made him block me) so I added him and said hi to him. We talked like in the old times.

Girls, I would love to have a relationship with him. I want to take things slow because he just broke up with his ex and I know from experience that one shouldn't rush into things after a break up but during this time apart I realised that I have strong feelings for him. I have only dated 2 other guys and I have been single since march, Im a different person than what I was 3 years ago.

This guy has RP tendencies and I would love to hear any advice you have to make this work. Thank you!
