I am now a 22 year old guy. I dated a girl for over 4 years and lived with her the last two. I lost her to a car accident about 18 months ago. So about 6 months ago I met someone online and started spending a lot of time with her. Things happen between us and we became very close. But about the time she admitted she cared for me I freaked out and went into depression again. So I did the worst thing possible. I crawled back into my shell and hid from the world. Not even messaging her to let her know what was going on. I know there is no excuse for what i did to her and how I hurt her. I know I can't go back and fix it. But I wish there was some way I could at least make her understand that I did care about her. Not to get back together because I realize I am still not ready. But to try to apologize and ease any pain I might have caused. Or should I not contact her at all so that I don't cause more pain now for her by reminding her of how I hurt her?

We all make New years Resolutions about losing weight or getting in better shape. shouldn't we make them about our love life also. So what resolution are you going to make this year?

For me I am going to try and not let my brain get in the way of my heart so much. As I have a habit of over thinking things to much. So I am going to try and just relax a little more when it comes to dating and enjoy the girls company more than try and figure out how things could be more perfect.

We all use different tactics when we flirt. So what is yours? I figure we all might learn some new ones to try if we share.
