writes: I am wondering if I am worrying for nothing - just be relationship phobic. New guy I am dating. He has been hurt a lot and is going thru a divorce. Claims he has no past relationships that he has maintained a friendship afterwards. Keeps warning me not to get involved with him, as they all seem to leave him and end up hating him. He is in counseling now for rejection fears. Calls me all the time, except last night when he was working. Now afraid he is going to talk himself right out of this, even though we both agree that it is the most amazing connection we have ever had. He is the one pushing to get serious, but I am not far behind. His nervousness is making me nervous. How do I handle this?

He doesn't want a relationship with you for a reason. He laid his cards on the table with you, and you should respect that. At least he was up front with you, all I can say is go with the flow and not to rush things

reassure him and treat him kindly and with respect, he will gain confidence and feel better about both himself and your relationship.
