nice evening, went out with J, an old crush and friend. I’ve stayed away from him for a while because too much hurt, but he asked me around Easter time to go this church service with him and then go out to eat.
I took it lightly, as before my pattern was to just fall hard for him every time only to be disappointed.

Well , we had a fabulous time. The church is about an hour a way. the service was very meaningful. We both have friends that are in the congregation, so we had a marvelous time talkign to every one. He did not want to stay for the potluck, which I thought was odd. We went to dinner instead at this nice restaurant on the water talked and laughed alot lot. Had fun.

We split the bill, which was a little unusual. J. always paid for me before, but the dinner bill did come out kind of high.
Anyway, as I look back on the evening. i start wondering if I shut him out too soon.  We both are not doing anything the rest of the weekend. I didn't get that it was the perfect opportunity to suggest something. Also, he said at the end of the evening we should do more things together soon. I immediately suggested going agin to the service and that limited the suggestions.

I am learly about this, He’s a great guy, but I always fall for him and I wind up hurt, still I want to call him.

Let's be clear,

you say you have a history of falling for this guy, and getting hurt, and then trying to heal from it afterwards.

Now, he wants you to do something with him, you are now musing about calling him because you think you misjudged him?

Wow.

If I can help, I went through something like this. For nearly 10 years.

I’m going to let that sink in.

You know, this person hasn’t likley changed. You likely haven’t changed. Why would the outcome change?

Please, don’t call him, and in fact, don’t think you can just be friends with him, even if he is asking you out to church (that’s just a great way of getting under your guard “hey, how bad can I be if I’m asking you to church?”.

Going to church doesn’t make a person a saint. The guy who made my life a living hell is someone I met through bible study. He used to ask me to go to church too, after sleeping with me, then sleeping with someone else, and telling me I shouldn’t be upset because it’s not like he was my boyfriend.

You can do better than this. I did.
