Worried About Losing Someone Special Posted: 05-09-05 13:49pm
First off... I wouldn't say i'm broken
hearted, but this seemed to be the best
forum to post in. I'll give you some
background on my problem and hopefully by
doing so it will help me realize what I
need to do to fix it.
I'm currently 25, i'm turning 26 very
soon and I have not had a 'real'
girlfriend in sometime. I've never had
a problem with girls/woman liking me or
finding me attractive, but for some
reason I can never seem to get past that
point and have a good relationship with
them.
Within the last 6 to 12 months I have been
extremely lonely and worried about where
my life is going if I continue on this
track. I believe I suffer from anxiety
and or some type of depression. And I
know its mainly because I miss having a
female companion. I always feel great
when I meet a new girl ( its like all my
problems go away, so it makes me think
that being lonely has led me to be
depressed and its only temporary )
not to long ago, I started hanging around
a girl that I thought was attractive and
that I enjoyed being with. She was a
friend of my sister's who's always had a
crush on me, maybe its because she was my
sisters friend or maybe because I was to
shy, but I never acted upon it. Well
lately we started hanging out and becoming
close. We started realizing how much we
had in common and I could sense that we
both liked each other a lot. Now a
slight problem is that she just broke up
or took a break with her boyfriend of
almost 2-3 years, so I have been hesitant
on coming on to strong and scaring her
away.
I'm so worried, because I had another
situation like this about a year ago with
another girl. She also had a huge crush
on me but I believe I came on to strong
and gave her the wrong idea that I only
wanted a one night stand. What also
happened is that when we tried having sex,
I had a night that every guy has
nightmares about ( I couldn't get it up )
I know this happens to everyone, but for
some reason from that point on my
confidence was just shot. Needless to
say, she thought I was only interested
in a fling, and she got back with her
boyfriend.
It took me so long to get over that , and
to be honest I don't think I fully am.
Ever since that one incident a year ago,
I think i've avoided intimate contact like
that because I am worried that it will
happen again.
So thats a bit of background on whats been
going on... So back to whats been going
on lately...
I have felt great and have been so happy
since I have been spending time with this
new girl. I've been going out more and
not worrying about anything and really
enjoying myself. I really feel like I
am starting to overcome the problems that
have plagued me for these last few years.
I was feeling like everything was coming
together for me. I haven't even kissed
this girl yet and now i'm worried that I
might have waited to long to maybe make my
move. The last 2 times now that i've
talked to her, she's seemed a bit distant
and not as interested as she was at first.
I am supposed to call her tonight and we
will hopefully get together and hang
out... But i'm so afraid that maybe
she's worked things out with her boyfriend
again and that i'll be stuck in this same
rut again.
I don't even know if I have anything to
worry about, for all I know, I could
just be making this up in my head and just
trying to find things to worry about.
Last night and today I have just been
worrying myself sick that I let her slip
through my fingers.
If she only knew how good she makes me
feel inside. She doesn't know it, but
I have felt like a whole new person since
we starting hanging out.
So basically my fear is that she will lose
interest in me and go back to her
boyfriend. If that happened, i'm so
worried that i'd fall back into a
depression, just when I was starting to
feel good again. I'm almost certain that
would happen... Because look how much its
been worrying me and I don't even know if
thats the case yet.
So what should I do? She really
understands me and we both have told each
other a lot of things that we had never
told anyone before, so I know the trust is
there. Should I sit down with her
and have a heart to heart with her? Or
should I just keep trying my best to make
her happy and not let her know how I feel
( in fear of her thinking it might scare
her off )
and see how things go.
So please... I need some advice and fast.
I do not want to let this girl get away
because I feel like she's the best thing
to happen to me in awhile. I really like
this girl and fee llike we could have a
good long relationship. I will be
crushed if it doesn't work out :(
