girlfriend and mother of my child left after 4.5yrs

[Josh Martin]

My girlfriend dumped me after almost 5yrs. We were fighting alot and we both decided that taking a step back and see what happens would be best. Well its been 5 months now and she still doesn't want to date or anything. The problem is we have 4 children 3 are hers from previos mariage and I love those 3 to death just like my own. I still take them out and do lots of things with them, sometimes even with my ex. Just last week I took the boys school shopping and she came along and everything was great. But when I ask her if she would like to go on a date with me she says she is just not ready for that yet. Am I just being parinoid and not just giving her more time or should I just let it go? We haven't had a fight in over a month so I know our relationship is getting better what should I do?

Why not just go over to her place and visit? Maybe you could try to hang out as friends and rebuild your foundation. Sometimes that's what you have to do...start all over again. Just be her friend for now and when things seem good ask her out again!
