Jeff -
Rather than looking at this as head over heart, look at this as what is right for you - period. As humans, we can tend to over-think things. Lookng at the two of you as of this day, I see you as looking into the future in a very realistic fashion. I see your friend as trying to keep himself together, tying to believe that things are going to get better in his life. The energy between the two of you is that, literally, of committed relationship. What he wants you to know is that he sees you as someone who he can count on, someone who will be there for him. It is your choice, as has been pointed out, whether you want to move on or not. What we need to ask ourselves when making any type of decision is "Is this the right time?". Would you be better served by putting your energy nto this relationship, or would you be better served by moving on? I do not feel that this is the t ime for you to move on. Trust your instincts, and listein to dreamtime. What messages ae comng to you? Only you knows what is best for you. It is okay to stay with this relationship, even if "logic" would say to move on.
Blessings,
Bonnie
