i'm going to stick with my original approach - stay out on a limb, and go against what a lot of people here are saying. yes, we have trust issues at the moment, but nothing that cant be resolved as time progresses. as i said in my last post - i believe she would have major trouble doing it a 2nd time after knowing what shit it causes to happen.
there is a chance i will get burnt again, yes. i'm going to have to deal with that. i've always taken the conservative 'play it safe' approach, and not let things get a second chance in a sense if it goes sour. i just feel like i should take a risk this time, the potential return if all goes well outweighs potentially what else could happen.
think of that feeling you get for a multiple choice question - take it as this last question decides if you pass or fail. you cant resit the test after this attempt. Of 4 answers, you know which 2 answers are dead wrong, and you're looking at one answer, answer A and you have a very strong feeling you're right, but not completely sure.
your buddy questions you're response - and thinks the other, answer B, is correct. they are also very sure they are right, but not completely.
If i pick A, and are wrong (eg. my buddy was right) - i made a mistake. it hurts yes, but i know that i did what i thought was best. i'll be sure to listen to him in future.
if i pick B, and are wrong (eg. my buddy was wrong) - i'll never forgive myself for going against my will. i wont be angry at my buddy - after all, i made the decision, but i'll be sore knowing that i was right, and didnt believe in myself to act on that feeling.
i have to feed my curiousity in a sense, thus im sticking with my original thoughts on this.
