Hello TFP,
I've gotten wonderful advice here, and I've run into some trouble again.
A while back, I was hanging out with this girl, and I really couldn't tell if she wanted to be just friends and I was too much of a chicken shit to ask. She told me multiple times that she didn't want anything more than friends, but we really did talk to each other almost every day, and hang out at least once a week, as what I saw as just "friends."
We recently had a falling out, but we just started talking again. It turns out that she actually did have feelings for me, but she kept it in because she thought I would have rejected her if she brought it up. At this point in time, I have already convinced myself that she was just a friend, and the feelings I used to have for her are kind of suppressed now.
I wish I could explain everything in this post, but it would take ages to post it all. This girl is great, shes independent, caring, and almost everything I want in a girl... But lets just say, this girl has had some shameless behavior in her past, but she says since she has been around me she has learned to gain more respect for herself and has changed. I am not the partying type of guy, or a guy that sleeps around, so it kind of hurts me to know that she has been down that road in the past before. Every time I hear about her past, it really hurts me inside, and I don't know how to get over it.
I want to be able to put her past behind us and give a relationship a go, but I find it hard inside myself to let things go and take it from square one. I mentioned to her that I would like to bring us back to friendship before the falling out, and maybe take it a step further. I just dont know how fast to take things, and I really dont want to set myself up to be hurt in the end.
Any advice would be great! I've been confused
