Hmm - it must be difficult loosening up to guys because of your past experience. Maybe give guys some time before you let go so to speak, maybe relax a little knowing you're not in anything commited or serious.

Perhaps the only time to really let go is when you fully trust a person. That said it must be hard because of what happened before. Talk to different guys trying to get to know them as friends; again it's easier said than done.

If you think you've found the right guy, take it slow and a little casual - try to trust in him and use your judgement. Im sure over time you'll loosen up a little; guys aren't all bad!

Good luck :smile:

Yep i totally agree.

I had problems trusting guys as well, i was pretty close friends for a few months with my guy till we started going out as well

Its the best way (IMO!)
