Then you're really not in a good place to be dating.

You're just going to push everyone away.

A person can tell you all day long they are with you and only you until they are blue in the face but if your trust issues run that deep, you're not going to believe them. Nobody is going to want to put up with that. There is one REAL certainty in this life....and that's death.

And I'm aware of this....my trust issues have hard wired themselves into my thinking processes, same with my view of myself image....I have moments where I look good, most of the time I feel like I'm ugly....even though girls will tell me the opposite until they are blue in the face, I just dont believe it

Im going to stop because this thread is not about me and I'm not trying to make it that way smh

Then why even try to get involved with anyone? You don't seem to be in the right mindset.

If a woman tried that with me, that'd be the last time she saw me, lol.

You don't seem to think that what you did was beyond creepy. Or you do, but your ego won't allow you to admit it.

As far as the OP - just live your life and don't be so worried about the what ifs of a possible relationship. Just date and have fun and see where that takes you. There are no guarantees in life.

Were I her... the only contact that I'd delete would be HIS.
I don't believe the story anyway... What woman is going to put up with that level of mistrust? That would be a giant red flag to me and an immediate deal breaker..... especially if it came " out of the blue" as in the posted scenario.
Davie is our resident fabulous fabulist!

Because it's better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all. Hurt is a fact of life.

In all honesty, loved and lost does not sound better than never at all to me. At least with never at all you never go through the trauma of the loss.

You also never have the joy of the love. There is nothing better. I'd definitely take having those feelings of love even knowing they will almost always have an end. Not even debatable.
