Relationship help, please?
I'm currently dating a wonderful guy. We have been dating for 5 months. I have been trying my best to be there for him and let him know that I really care about him. In turn, I think I may be falling for him and my feelings seem to be growing for him. However, the problem is his ex. Before me, he was in a 2-year relationship. He told me that he still has feelings for her and its nearly been a year since their break up but he says he likes me a lot and cares about me. I'm disappointed because I have no feelings for anyone else and I think I may be starting to love him. Do I have the right to feel the way I feel? What should I do?

You always have the right to feel the way you feel, and in your situation, disappointment seems more than appropriate. The real problem is that after a year (five months of which were spent dating you), he's still technically on the rebound.
The way I see it, you have two choices. The first would be to be patient with him and hope that his heart heals enough to reciprocate the feelings of love you're starting to have for him. I don't see the chances of that being good because he evidently perceives the relationship he had with his ex to be superior to the relationship he has with you, but it is an option. The second would be to move on before you've completely fallen for him. If you don't, you're probably going to end up having a relationship with his ex's ghost as well as with him.
At the end of the day, it just doesn't sound to me like he's ready to be in a relationship with anyone yet...
