I have this love interest and he's everything I could ever want in a guy. Kind and compassionate... And he thinks I'm just perfection in a bottle. (I try to disagree, but he's also extremely brilliant with a great sense of humour so he spits something back that just proves he's right and makes me smile at the same time!) But he also has a very broken heart from a past relationship. Right now he and I are just friends but both of us have stated we're interested in more, with time. He's told me about this girl and my fear of falling in love with him, (like we Aquarians need any more reasons to fear love!) is that I will always feel second to the memory of this love he shared with another when he was 17. When I first met him I instantly knew he was special and warned myself thoroughly not to ever want anything more than friendship with him because he can be rather dark and moody when he misses her. My question to you is how do I deal with the fear of having to live up to a memory? I know that one day we shall discuss this situation when we are more emotionally involved, but it's still a fear that never leaves my mind. It would just be my luck to meet the most tender, wise, and sad man who ever lived and then fall in love with him! (He and I are both Aquarians, if you hadn't presumed as much already)
