He makes me feel safe
I have this friend, and he really reaaaally likes me. I like him too, but I'm an emotional mess. He treats me so well, from what I've gathered from his excessive compliments, he adores me. Not saying I'm great or anything, just that this person really thinks I am. And when I'm with him, I feel safe. My previous heartbreak messed me up and I still have feelings for the other person even after so fucking long. But when I'm with my friend, I don't worry about if I'm gonna run into that person at school. Anything that brings me anxiety in general just goes away, and it's wonderful. But when I'm not with him, my mental reality returns. He really wants to be with me, and I think I want to be with him too, but I'm still a little scared. I don't want to lose him, what should I do?
