There’s this boy that I met and we met the exact same way I met my last boyfrind and he is so much like my ex it’s unbeleiveable…

but I’m afraid, because I don’t want to be hurt again. I was told to gaurd my heart and I will but what if I let my gaurd down and on the other hand I was told that in life you have to take many risks. so… what do I do?

If you’re afraid of gettting hurt, you’ll never be able to live, and find the one who won’t hurt you. Take a risk, just because he’s a lot like your ex doesn’t mean he’ll leave you the same way. Go for it.

I used to get upset over relationships. Then I realized how stupid it was. Be strong. Don’t let other people run your emotions. Try it and see what happens, and if he leaves you then move on. Being dumped won’t be the end of the world.

Like Fried said, just because you see similarities between your ex boyfriend and this new guy, it doesn’t mean that it will turn out the same.
They are two completley different people.

There’s a difference between guarding your heart and protecting yourself so much that you never let anyone else in again.

If this feels right, then for goodness sake go for it! :)!
You’ve dealt with hurt before. And, in time, your wounds heal, and you learn and you grow from them.
Try not to think about how things could end before they’ve even begun.
Otherwise, you’ll never know what things could be like.

Everything is potentially a risk, but it’s the things in life that do go right that make it worth while.

Look into your heart, you know if you’re ready to commit to another relationship yet.
Keep an open mind, and you might find something really special here :)
And if you find yourseld not ready yet, don’t worry about it! These things take time, and you’ll be ready when you’re ready.

Best of luck ^^
