no. this girl sounds smart, sensible, and normal. she deserves better.

I didn't say he should be alone. he can continue to find someone just as flawed. Maybe a reformed sex addicted woman scared of intimacy?

I feel a little bad about how harsh I was to you.

But I think this woman is a better judge of whether he is worthy than you or I are. She's a big girl. She can fend for herself and decide whether she likes him. He is worthy of someone good if such person decides he is worthy of her. Same as everybody else. Everybody is flawed, even you, ma'am.

sure, but it doesn't sound like he has told her about his past and his fear of intimacy. If she wants to continue on knowing that, great, but it sounds like she's in the dark.

Whats with the "fear of intimacy" projections?...men and women have one night stands all the time...and in most bars these days, youre just as likely to go home with an unpaid who0re as this guy was if you like that sort of thing.

I value my independence and personal freedom. I've never wanted commitment to anyone.

However, I met this woman at the food bank where I volunteer. She's very pretty, intelligent, sensible and a good company. I invited her to coffee to see how my picking up skills were. She accepted and we started going out more frequently.

Contrary to what usually happens, my main instinct wasn't to get her to bed. I seriously enjoy her company and her personality. The other day she leaned towards me and rested her head on my chest. I never have such close contact with anyone and I loved that moment. She told me I'm very special to her but she doesn't want to rush anything.

I find myself thinking about her during the day, something that has never happened to me. But the problem is I know I'm a damaged guy who probably won't do any good to anyone. I've several background issues mainly relating to my childhood and bad environment at home.

I thought this all "falling in love" stuff was nonsense but I don't know if I'm going through it right now.
What do you mean by calling yourself damaged goods. You're damaged goods only if one of those escorts you went out with sliced off your tool and kept it for her own. Yeah, a bad childhood can damage a child because you grow up thinking certain things are normal behavior when they are not, but a few visits to a therapist can help you there. She says she doesn't want to rush things, so take her at her word and don't rush anything. Let her make the first move, it will probably surprise her and she will know you are a bit different from the other guys she has dated. If she really comes onto you, I would simply tell her she is going to have to be patient because you don't have alot of experience with women like her. And that is not a lie, you have zero experience when it comes to dealing with a woman that is not a professional. Keep your mouth shut about the professional and see where this relationship goes.

If he tells her about his escorts past she will probably dump/reject him. There are somethings in life you keep to yourself, this is one of them. Everyone has skeletons in their closets...KEEP THEM THERE!!!
