how did she respond when you opened up to her? was she supportive? understanding? do you think you would have done things differently, if you were to do them again?

i dont have any advice for you (you have already read and responded to my thread in the abuse forums - thank you) but i did want you to know i have read your post.

a part of me thinks - we have had no experience in this, this is something that kids fumble around with when they are a lot younger than us - so of course we are going to make 'mistakes', or just not do things 'smoothly'. we can only try, and if this girl is patient, she will be ok with that - and if she can't wait, that is ok also, because it just means she isn't the one for you.

what kinds of things would you be comfortable doing with this girl? are you good friends already? would catching up for coffee/lunch or something be too much for you? could you take things really slow?

sorry, i have more questions than advice - hopefully someone else with more experience will be able to jump in and give you something more helpful. but just saying that i am thinking of you, and relating.
