Be careful about those phone/text relationships. Much of it can be fantasy since you're not actually spending time with the person, which is of course what a real relationship is about, the day in and day out hanging together. I would try harder to not feel fear about seeing someone new, and definitely to try not to mention the ex anymore to Corey -- for a while anyway, I dont think a new guy really wants to hear much about exes. IMO this will work out better if you guys go less deep and just have fun together in person at first, try to take it light girl and leave the fears for your girls for now. That's just my blunt impression, I so hope it doesn't offend you as I'm just giving my honest 2 cents to my buddie. I really want this to work out, he sounds like a great guy and you deserve someone nice and true..
