Is it normal to not easily trust guys... at all?

All the men in my life have lied to me and let me down. I don't think any of them truly loved me, or at least knew what love meant.

I have a hard time trusting men or even letting them get close to me. I've also become a really skeptical person.

I really want to be in a relationship where I have a man who truly loves me, but I've been too hurt in past experiences to trust easily.

    No, not normal. Sounds as though you've been hanging in the wrong crowds!

  • In today's world of deceiving people, this is highly normal (unfortunately). If the guy that opens doors, helps old people, and pulls out chairs for ladies can be a smut behind closed doors, then there really is no one that can be trusted.

    Yeah its normal. Infact it wouldn't be normal if you DID trust guys off the bat.

    MOST guys (like 90%) only want one thing.
    And if they can't get that one thing or if something changes, they bolt.

    Just take your time to really get to know someone thouroughly before you make any commitments. If you tell them about your apprehension and past experiances and they understand and have patience with you, chances are they won't be like that 90% .

    Its totally normal, give your self some time to get over the sittuation and start putting yourself out there again. I believe everybody has a special someone waiting for them you just have to hold on & go againts every obstacle so that someday you could be reunited with that special one.

    Yeah its normal
    Especially being dumped "several" times
    Us guys can be shifty
    Shouldn't let that effect a new relationship though
    Thats why when you get dumped
    Theres a stage called "moving on"

    People lie. It's going to happen and you just have to make sure you are not in a relationship with someone who makes it a habit. If everyone you have dated has lied then perhaps you need to move slower. Get to know the person before making a commitment.
