Hi Stargazer,

You heart wants a good husband. Your heart says yes because you like him. But now even you see he isn’t good husband material. Console your heart.

Dating someone just because they are at the same stage as you and because it seems easier considering your kids sounds practical – but you have not dated him yet. It could be just as hard. Is this you being practical or is this your heart making excuses?

be open to whatever he proposes – you clearly seem to think what he will propose will be something platonic. You have to be okay with that. Where I am from, we say ” he is a brother to me”. Can you do that?  With no expectation that the walks could eventually lead to a relationship or marriage?
