So I met what seems to be a nice guy a week ago today. I have always been the type of person to move slowly. Be it that I think it wise or my trust issues kick in. All and all I like the pase of moving things slowly. So this new guy has asked me of relationships past and I let him know that I have been hurt before, much like all of us. I am not holding it against him, but I am also not readily available to give my all just yet. He thinks after a week of knowing him, I should know him well enough to trust him. Am I wrong to be holding back.......??? what

Go with your gut, if you don't feel it's the right time to open up then tell him so, trust needs to be earned and, as Dan pointed out, a week is nothing. There is no "wrong" about you in this situation, so don't think in such terms. If he really is a nice guy, he'll give you all the time you'll need.

Been there and done that the landing wasn't so soft.. But learned a lesson if I'm scared then there is a reason and I should trust in myself not what he was telling me that was right.. But I do understand where you are coming from it is tuff because part of you really does just want to jump in with both feet, but there is something there that cautions you so I say trust it...

You know what really sucks since I feel the need to be so careful what if I do let the good guy go cause I was simply to scared.

If he is a good guy then he will understand your concerns.If he thinks your worth the time and patience,then he will wait for you to open up your feelings when your ready.If not then he was not the guy for you anyway

Think about this if he is the good guy you say he is then he will respect what you are feeling and not want to rush you into anything.. He will do anything in his power to make sure you feel secure, it can't be all about what he wants it has to be about you as well.. Communication is the key JMO
