Hey Sol, it's great to hear one of us guys thinking with the right head for a change! R's are very stressful and difficult things, they can be draining even under the right circumstances. I think it's important to pick a sitch where the odds are in your favour otherwise you set yourself up for problems. Could you just keep in touch as friends and just leave it open. That way there is no expectation on anyone's part and if one of you finds someone else, so be it. It all depends on where you are emotionally, if you think you can handle a long term friendship that may or may not one day become romantic in nature then do that, if not then let it go. But, I definately wouldn't go the romantic route right now. As you've already said you aren't ready for that yet. A real man thinks of the needs of both himself and the other party, if you aren't ready and yet go ahead anyway then you're not doing her any favours!
