I have a problem. I've been in a few really bad relationships where I feel like I've been permanently scarred. There is a part of me that would like to be in a relationship at times, but then there is this other part that is completely frightened anytime the prospect of getting into another one becomes a reality. I feel like for me relationships with females have been like a hot stove, I've touched them so many times and gotten burnt that I am EXTREMELY wary of touching one again. I haven't been on a date in years because my last relationship was a nightmare, that I don't know if I'm even supposed to be in a relationship.

 

The thought of being attached to someone scares me. And I'm not one that gets scared easily by things, but I feel like I'm too broken for a relationship. But there have been a bunch of nice girls that I could've dated in these times, but I never acted on it because anytime I date it always gets serious. I feel like they are trying to possess me and it always leads to nothing good.

 

I dunno, are these things we call romantic relationships really worth it?

When they don't work or one of the partners has expectations that the other partner can't/won't meet, they're hell on earth.

 

But when they DO work, there's nothing like it in the world.

 

A good, solid relationship is even better than my slow-barbecued lamb with cracked pepper, fresh mint and rosemary. And that's saying something! :love:
