I believed that no one was having sex in high school(at least at mine), that most people were monogamous and honest in their relationships and that cheating was a very rare occurrence. however, A few years ago the child of a family friend came to stay with us and he exposed me to the real world. I learnt that I had very naive and childish views of people and relationships and this has created a problem for me. the problem is that I would like to date a girl but I am too afraid. I cannot imagine making myself emotionally vulnerable after everything I have seen and heard. I am very afraid of being hurt and humiliated by a woman and this makes me incapable of trusting.Has anyone else encountered this problem and if it is indeed a problem how did they overcome it?Reply to this Question Share |

Hi
Most people who don't trust in relationships have been hurt in the past.However they learn to trust again and understand that not everyones bad or will let them down in some way.
We are all human,we all make mistakes, that's life.If you don't take the chance you will miss out on happiness, sharing, emotional development and learning about relationships.
Just listen to a few love songs - to the words - some are about break ups,some about finding love.That's the way life goes.
