@FicklePickleTickle:
You're absolutely right. I have actually shaped up. I am seeking the help that I need to become the person that I know I am.
And she knows the reason to why I acted cold towards her, we have talked about, quite a bit as well.
It might turn out to not work for us if we decide to give things a try, but that is a risk I will have to take, and she agrees with me.
But as for the part about whacking off to porn.. I'm not sure whether or not it's normal, but I actually don't do that. I need intimacy to work, I just can't get off watching porn and masturbating, or masturbating at all for that matter.
I'm not going to lie though, it does get sooooo frustrating sometimes, it's been over 4 years since I was with a girl last
@HoneyBee000:
That's true, but I didn't mean for it to sound like I put that much weight onto her being able to make me smile. I know I make her smile, I know I make her feel special, and I know she likes it. (She's said so herself.. so nothing I'm just imagining)
But yes, one have to overcome fears to be able to achieve what one want. Which is what I am working on right now.
@Magical_felix:
I do have very low self esteem, and I know you are right - it's all in my head.
I am currently taking it slow with her, as she and I have decided to.
Anyway, I did tell her exactly how I felt, we talked about it for a while. And the conclusion we came to is that she isn't in the right frame of mind to be commited in a relationship right now, she is still being haunted by her ex.
But we did decide that we're going to give it some time, we're going to continue being friends for a while till things settle down, but there is very well a chance of there becoming something between us both.
She likes me, and I like her. That's all it takes for things to start off. I'm not going to worry about things as I have done before.
Worrying too much only leads to self destructive behaviour. And I refuse to have a part of that anymore.
I know what I want, I'm not going to be afraid to go after it.
But I really do appreciate all the help.
And sorry for neglecting this topic for so long, there's just been a whole lot of things going on IRL. I decided to do something with how I feel, and that is taking up most of my time.
