I guess you could say I'm one of those girls who are afraid of love, because when I finally found a man who loved and adored me I walked away, fearing I would miss my single life. Now that he's gone we try to remain friends. But I can't stop wishing that I had just gone for it in the relationship and pushed my fears aside, 'cause I loved and adored him right back. Should I tell him how I'm feeling or just try to move on?

There might be some deep-seated reason you had for pushing this guy away, and that may stem from something in childhood -- but you didn't elude to that. However, that's something to take a look at if I'm even close. But no matter the reason, if this guy wanted a commitment more than you can give, you made the right choice. Think of it this way: If you call him and tell him how you're feeling, can you actually give something you, at one time, thought you could not give? If not, you'd be back to square one and feeling horribly responsible for the results. Something is holding you back, and it may be for a perfectly good reason -- or your commitment issues need to be addressed in therapy. Decide which it is, and proceed from there.
