Hellow!
I'm a young man, who had some bad experiences in his love live and now, i'm finding dificult to let other girls near to my hart. This is not a matrimonial discussion don't get me wrong, what I whant from this is to find some other opinions on how good or bad, how easy or hard is for other people to get involved in new relations, and maybe to get some tips.

you will know, when your heart flutters so hard everytime you see this girl, and you stutter when you speak,that first kiss will knock you off your feet, when you can't think of anything but that one girl all the time.and her smile will lighten up your face when you see her. GOD IM SUCH A SAP!! LMAO!

well Im not sure what to say, If its not right then move on or sit and talk to her tell her your feelings, honesty is the best thing for both of you. maybe some time away from eachother will help, give you time to sort out your feelings. Im not a expert on this,lord knows lol, but you need to be honest,tell her how you feel, I wish you all the best, like I said before follow your heart...

I think the reason that you are having difficulties of letting girls near to your heart is because you are setting a gap or a wall against your heart. That gap/wall is somewhat your defense so that you won't get your heart broken like what happened to your past relationships. That is why, for you to start something new with someone, you should be willing to open your heart to that particular person regardless if you'll get your heart broken or not.
Remember: When there is love, there will always be pain. We can't force ourselves not to love, at the same time we can't force ourselves not to feel pain when we love.
Having been into a bad relationship especially when you love that person can be so hard for you to move on and recover. But that's just the way it is. "You loved, you lost. But at least, you tried." I'm happy that I did. But I have to say, it's not that easy. You'll feel pain, sadness, weary, loneliness. As time goes, it'll heal the pain and make it go away.
As for me, I thought I found "The One" but I guess I was wrong. I think it's not just about love. There are several factors that can make that person "the one, the right one". When he understands, he respects, he is loyal, he is committed, you bond, etc.. It's like every thing can't go wrong when you're with him/her. That's the time when I personally can say that
"I found him; I found the one."

Hy, thanks for your comment, I can see that it's from the hart. I fully agry with you that there is no love without pain. Do you realy think that a man who is fully loyal and commited exists? Trust me I whould rather lose a arm to meet someone that I can love and trust, but after my previouse experiences I'm .. how shall I say... reticent..

I still believe that there's still some men out there who are fully honest and loyal especially to his wife. But I guess there's just so much temptation around that not only men can be tempted and do infidelity but even women do the same thing also.
From our own experiences, we learn a lot of things about love/relationships etc.. especially if we encounter someone whom we love yet didn't love us in return. I'm guessing that you already fell in love (first love) and you get hurt in the end. That is why maybe the problem with you and even myself is that we (I) want to love someone new just the way I loved my first love. But too bad it won't ever happen again because first love comes just once in our lifetime. I never had the chance to express my feelings to the very first person that I loved that is why it is very painful for me at first.
As for now, we can still love someone new of course. But the feeling is not just as strong as the first and all we can do is accept the fact that we won't be feeling that "very special feeling" ever. My advice: if you like someone and eventually fell for him/her. Just show him/her what you feel, go for it. You may get hurt but don't worry, it won't sting as the first. :)
Best of luck to you.

Hi
I must say that i know and understand to completly where you are coming from.
I too have been badly hurt in my past and i have been hurt several times since too,
I am currently in a happy and loving rel and believe me it has not been easy for me to get to this point, I have tried pushing him away because i am scared that he will hurt me too, I have tried being nasty because i thought that this might push him away from me.
But one day i woke up and i thought hang on i dont really want to loose this lovely person, I think that he is worth the risk of getting hurt again to see if we will work.
We have now been together for 4 months and we are very happy together.
A very good friend of me one day sat me down and gave me good advice she said Richard is not Andy or Rob and you are wrong to judge him.
And you know she was 100% right.
Sometimes in life there are risks that are worth taking.
Good luck and i hope that one day you will be willing to take that risk with someone and be happy

Hey there phantomel!
I know exactly what you mean because I for one is searching for the right one. I know how hard it is to look for that someone. I have been single for more than a year and I sometimes go crazy looking for my other half. But since, I haven't found him yet, all I do is wait and of course enjoy every moment of my life. I know that life could never be as wonderful if shared with someone. Yet it is not really so easy to look for that someone to share life with. In life, we happen to meet a lot of people and we could never really tell if that person is already the one we are looking for. Well for me, the best thing to do is to wait and appreciate whoever comes into your life. And let us always be ready to embrace life's surprises. Enjoy life dude!

I partially agree with meemingNEW...You shouldn't have any wall, whatsoever. But it is not mandatory to be hurt, to suffer pain or deceive, and the other plagues she mentioned. She would say: "How can you recognize happiness if you wouldn't meet suffer?"...Answer: because you feel it. We have that special sense in our minds that says something is good without comparing it to any experience in the past. Actually this is where illusion is born: comparing events in life can be tricky...you can say something is better than it was, but is it the best?
So, phantomel, as I wasn't refering directly to your topic, now i am:
Tip number one - find someone!
Tip number two - be happy, starting a new happiness, if i may say so!
