<human>: Hey all

So, I messed up. I met someone great and proceeded down the 'rush rush rush' path, thinking that it was what I wanted.

I still like the guy, heaps - its only been a few weeks however i feel i've really made a mistake by moving so fast as i cant guarantee that i'm really ready for the dedication a relationship requires.

One problem....he's very depressed normally - its literally obvious (and he's mentioned it) that I make him feel like his life has meaning and he can't wait to be with me forever etc.

I didn't discourage that (and thats why im stressing).

What do I do people? I really like him still, I just don't want to be emotionally bullied into a relationship because they're unstable on their end. I want things to maybe slow down ALOT, so that we can proceed normally and see if it will work. I now have to worry that if i hurt him he'll hurt himself, or do something unpredictable that could effect me. I don't necessarily not want to pursue things with him, but I just want to feel like I have a little control in the outcome without destroying him by saying 'hey, lets slow down a bit before you say you love me after a few weeks'.

Thx guys!

<bot>: I like a guy, he likes me - I feel bullied into whatever comes out of it because he's really depressed and it could make him do something stupid if I hurt him.
