I am not sure what the reason may be, @Britedark, but I COMPLETELY agree with ALL the other wise and wonderful posters! Perhaps it is just due to ALL of many small factors cumulating together. Have you had any bad experiences in the pas that may also effect how you feel? It doesn't need to be anything serious, perhaps just some small accidents that have stayed sticked in your mind since then. In any case, if it's making you feel uncomfortable, I'd say to find a compromise with him. Just talk to him about ALL of this and see how it goes from there. Be kind but honest. Tell him that it's not his fault. Tell him that you're still interested in going out with him, perhaps in other public places or perhaps you can see him at your home if that makes you feel more comfortable. Give it a try and please do remember that it's not either your or his fault, it's just something that it is happening to BOTH of you and that may happen to other people as well!! Please do remember that we are ALL here for you! We are ALL rooting for you! We ALL do care about you! We are ALL here to listen as well if you need it! We are ALL Sending many safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @Britedark, ALL of your Family, ALL of your Friends, your Friend of Yours whom we're ALL talking about right now and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK, MY DEAR, SWEET, KIND, AWESOME AND WONDERFUL FRIEND?!
