[IdentityCrisis]

Okay, this is my first post on her and it seems a really good place to get some much needed advice. Anyway, I'm 18, and my girlfriend (16) and I have been together for about 6 months now, and I love her so much. I know she loves me too, but I keep having some doubts on whether or not she still wants to be with me.

Before we got together, one of her best friends told her that he loved her and asked her out. She said no, and their friendship was effectively ruined. About two months into our relationship, they suddenly patched things up. Okay, that does seem fair but she knows he still has feelings for her, and he keeps telling her again and again. It used to annoy her, but now she seems to like him telling her. I shouldn't read into that too much, but about three months ago, she stayed at his house. I didn't want her to go, but I trust her so I just told myself that nothing would happen. To this day, I don't think anything did, but I can't stop thinking that maybe she does have feelings towards him. Her whole attitude towards him has changed.

That's not the only thing that's worrying me. She meets alot of guys at gigs. I go to most of the gigs with her because the bands rock, but sometimes I can't. But whenever I'm not there, she seems to meet a whole load of guys and gets their numbers, and tells me that they're just friends. Okay, maybe most of them are, but theres a handful that want to be with her and I know this for sure.

Today, I read an email from this guy she met a while ago. Now I didn't hack into her account or anything, but she loaded the email up, told me to read it and went to take a bath. She wanted to load up an email from her sister which contained a few jokes but loaded up the wrong one. The email looked innocent enough until I got to the bottom. He said that he wanted to meet up with her as soon as she could. I thought that maybe he was being a freak and she would say no. That's until I read what she wrote to him underneath. She said that she thought he was very cute and wanted to see him...now am I being paranoid or not?

Thing is, I trust her completely and I don't think she would do anything with any of them. But I keep getting the impression that she doesn't want to be with me, even though she says she does. I don't understand, I treat her with respect, I give her enough attention and enough space as she needs and she seems happy. I just don't get it. I really don't know what to do.
