I'll try to keep it simple.
I've known this guy for a while but over the past couple months we've been talking a lot more often and getting to know each other. We've helped each other through some things, and he has told me how he suffered depression all through last year, and once attempted to commit suicide.
He says that this year though is a lot better and he's gotten through it, however he's said to me that he fears he could relapse.
So I've started to get feelings for him, and I know he has feelings for me but this is where I'm hesitant. I'm really trying to think this through before it gets anymore serious.
I'm not an idiot, and I know that there is a very small chance that if I were to date him it would last 'forever' (I'm 16) so it makes me wonder what would happen if we were to date and then break up? Or we started to see each other and then I wanted to break it off. I know that I would be scared to end it in case he did something irrational.
What are your thoughts?
Thank you in advance x
