Re: Am I even capable... 2be: Tell me about it. THe woman I am getting to know told me her brother asked if she was dating anyone. She mentioned that she and I were hanging out and getting to know each other. She said I was the nicest guy she'd ever met and she didn't know what to do with that. LOL
I'm just being me... I"m not looking for any ego-swelling compliments here... I just mention it because it amazes me how many complete JERKS there are out there.
But the point is... when I read that she told her brother about me, I felt myself freeze up inside. Not that I do'nt like her or think she is a great person or that I don't want to continue to get to know her... but I am SO scared about it all.
Good luck.. you will be fine. It just takes time. :)

You are very capable... the real question is will you let yourself? Fear stops us from so many things... and the truth is, acting on your fear will make your worst fears come true!!
Think about it... you are afraid to love again, because you might get hurt... So you don't love, or deny love, or hide... which ends in you loveless and hurting... you MADE it happen, by giving in to fear.
My advice LET yourself love - and you will. ((hugs))

Of loving someone again?
Do you often wonder if you can go through it all again?
I do.

I do too.
I wonder if I could trust my instincts or ever give my heart freely....I think once burned no matter how safe it feels there is always a scar left somewhere...
I hope I am wrong and I hope that I can feel a deeper, passionate, truer connection... I never truly believed in soul mates ebfore, but now I am beginning to wonder if that's what we should all hold out for..

That's my problem...allowing myself to. I really don't want to get hurt again so I seek out the unavailable options that won't work anyway. It's safer that way. "Real" options scare me...so I hide from them.
