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?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I think it's okay to date this nice guy, but take your time, girl, and take things slowly. Don't get in a rush! Sure you feel great when you're with this new Mr. Nice Guy, which is relatively normal, but you also feel like shit when you aren't with him which tells me that you're still nursing a lot of deep emotional wounds. You might feel great when you're with the new dude, but you're not all better yet. Please don't be in too much of a rush, because if this new dude is as nice as he seems he won't mind if you need to to take things slow.

    You clearly like him and he clearly likes you. So go for it. It might work out, it might not. You shouldn't let past relationships control you like that.

    Date him! And be sure to communicate with him. He sounds like a wonderful guy, as long as you guys are able to talk through any anxieties you have or which may arise in the future, I think it will last. Best of luck!

    If you feel safe with him that’s reason enough to date him. Too many people fall in unsafe toxic relationships and that includes me. Getting over that relationship was hard even if he abused me. When I found one that made me feel safe, I knew he was the one.

    Put his penis in a tiny metal cage to which you hold the only key. Upon perfect behavior allow him 5 minutes of supervised masturbation at the end of the month, no exceptions. And after he finishes its right back in the cage and give him some chores to do. He will learn quickly that if he complains about this or fails to exceed your expectations in completing the orders you assign him, he will have days, weeks, months, added before his next release. Allow him to pleasure you orally or with a strap on or vibrator, tell him how this is passionate intimacy that would all be thrown away were he allowed more orgasms, and isn't this so much better?? To fully be intimate with a beautiful women, instead of getting 2 minutes of testosterone 'fun' and throwing out everything you have worked for. Additionally this means cheating is out of the question for him atleast as you will always know he can't get out. It also may be fun to point out some well dressed women to him, knowing that he is unable to relieve himself of desires he may feel, just some light teasing. Eventually you can move to having him pierced and locked in a Lori cage to which there is truly no escape. It may take kicking and screaming and tears. But he will learn to respect and appreciate women, that what he wants isn't always what's best for him, and the value in making a sacrifice for what is important to his partner. And eventually he will thank you. Make it crystal clear that while of course this must be consensual, you will Not go back to being with an unchaste boy. It is you + cage or nothing, and there will be no exceptions to release periods. Have him wear it even to the doctors office, removing only for examination and then have them bring you some ice so you can shrink him back down. Make him know the cage is here to stay forever, and if he still tries to cheat, his key just might happen to want to take a swim in the local river!
