I thought dat there was really sth wrong even though she said no and dat was when I told her in an SMS dat I think I ought to step back for the time being and let her sort out her own feelings before we start our own r/s. But becoz of dat msg, she avoided me the whole day! By then I thought dat I made a huge mistake by telling her to take some time off and dat's y I immediately flocked to her
A lot of guys would have done the same thing as you did.
A lot of guys out there have that “I am a Superhero” mentality. They think their role is to save sad little damsels who are in distress. I would have done exactly the same thing as you did ten years ago.
So I didnÂ’t say all that to mock youÂ…so many of us guys have the same problem!
But you have to be realistic about things.
Drop that hero mentality and protect your heart first and foremost.Because it is too early in the relationship for you to commit so much. You donÂ’t even know her well at this point!
You will only offer to help her and support her IF sheÂ’s found to be worthyÂ…you have to qualify her first!
Two other points you might find useful and applicable (not only to your relationship but other aspects of your life as well):
1) Always trust your gutWomen have their six sense or instinct as they like to call it. Men have our gut.
When your gut is telling you,
“I believe she needs time off to forget her ex !”You stay firm to what you believe and don’t ever let her little actions sway your opinion! Your Gut is your best friend. Learn to listen to it always.
2) InsecurityOriginally posted by Lovelorn?:
But before I called her, she sounded normal in her SMSes, asking me if I am alright or not and dat she agreed dat it was partly her fault for making me so insecure.
You have a wrong concept.
She cannot MAKE you insecure.
A better way to understand this Â… you ARE insecure because of your lack of confidence and she smells it, so she made full use of it.Therefore, even if she stops playing those mind games. You will still be insecure because of your lack of confidence.
And you are conveniently avoiding the root of your problem by having all these emotional talks with her when you should be spending more time working on your confidence and sorting out your own insecurity.Your insecurity stopped you from listening to your gut. When she ignores you for a day, all your reasoning went out of the window and blindly rushed into the relationship fearing that you might lose her.
Your insecurity allows you to feel inferior in front of her. That is why you are always asking her for forgiveness even when it is not your fault.
If you decide to stay in this relationship, you will still have to work on your insecurity. Good luck and take care.
