I'm in love with him but i'm so scared. Please help me!?

just let things happen! he could be the one to turn your negative perspective on guys around. i used to be this way also. things happen in life that you have to get over, let go, and just move on from! if life were easy, it would be boring.

any input on mine?

I think that you should them him about your insecurities and y'all both should work through it because it sounds like your in love with each other.

I am in the same situation girl, if he truly loves you he will take into account you have been hurt in the past before and keep pursuing you and won't let anything stop him until he has you. You have gotten to know him for an entire year, don't close yourself off.. this could be a turning point for you to feel whole again after previous pains. Embrace this love, it sounds like the real deal

Cheers

At 18 your only started to get in the game of love. Don't be surprised if you get hurt again as most go through the relationship thing over and over till it works out right.
Have fun

sigh wow I can really relate!! I too have had a share of bad experiences with guys in the past! Trust me... Lyons...cheating... manipulation.... definitely naive and darn right stupid decisions but hey we all live and learn right? How else do we become better? I at one point hated myself for being hurt and for never knowing how to choose good guys... It seemed that seeing became deceiving when I got to know them and like everything thought Id end up single for life... But recently like you I met someone who is ' AMAZING ' ...which like you too... and scared...reluctant ...to fall in love with someone...to give someone your heart and make sure that they wont hurt it or break it. It DEFINITELY is most very hard. There were a few things that I really LentNTrom him... which helped me determine whether or not he was the one I wanted to be with.... First... he had to prove that he was different from everyone from the past... For example... I had to know he was someone I can depend on... or someone that would patiently listen to me if things went wrong.... Second... he had to prove that he liked me for the right reasons....As we got to know each other... we ended up falling in love with each others personality. It just...matched. He would compliment me and really tell me how much he likes my personality and would tell me the things that he like that I do ... so from this is ... he showed attention to who I was..... Then ... when we got to know each other deeper... I had to know that I could trust him with things that I never told anyone... this would show how he responded... and he turned out to be really understanding...patient... and very caring. Lastly... I needed him to show me that he liked me... not only say it but show it with actions.... he surprised me everytime by spending time in making cute, thoughtful gifts ideas and surprises .....

So... I'm not saying that the guy you liked has to do all of these. But I really hope that you have found someone who ...1) stands out from the rest 2) respects you and your body 3) show you that they love you through action... (being dependable, responsible, patient, understanding, caring when youre sick ...etc)

If this guy knows that you were hurt before and if he really likes you .... he'd take the time to prove to you that he is different from the rest... he would put you first and not try to manipulate or anything evil ... sigh

Lastly, my last check box advice is ... any guys or girls who's been through a rough past... they have to be reassured by their loves ones ... its normal to want to push someone away ... b/c they are soemone who is different and deep down we dont want to fall too hard that will lead us into heart breaks over it but If he willing to stay by your side... and you both are willing to grow, learn together and lean on each other for help when things get rough and really COMMUNICATE... then I say... why not give him a chance? He might be the best thing that has happened to you. Changed your perspective and give you endless feelings of happiness and love.

Best of Luck <3

its normal to feel like you do, but you can't go on doing this all your life....Its not that all guys will hurt you, its just that unfortunately the guys you went out with didn't really love you or appreciate you, but that doesn't mean they are all like that...Right now you are associating pain with having a boyfriend because that's what happened in the past...you are thinking pain = boyfriend and the same way around.... you must change how you think about your relationship with a boyfriend as a pleasant and loving experience, and if for any reason he dumps you, it means he didn't deserve you, and that there is surely someone else that would really truly love you, and you haven't met him yet...REMEMBER: OUR THOUGHTS SHAPE OUR REALITY...if you think that your relationships won't last, because it happened sometimes, that's what you'll experience in the future...
