Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post...I appreciate the support.

When I told her, she was very supportive but then a couple of weeks later she back-tracked and said she couldn't cope with it, then continued to start dating someone...I was a little hurt but I see why she handled it like that, for it isn't easy to hear something like that. I don't know if I would do things differently, maybe I would have waited a bit longer, but I needed to tell her so I don't regret it.

We have only known eachother for about 6 months now, we bacame very close very quickly, so it all happened a bit too fast really...we have been on many dates, some of which were better than others...I do enjoy her company and everytime I am around her I enjoy it...but then when I am not with her, I feel like I need my space...I guess that is because I have been on my own for so long, I am struggling to adjust to spending much time with other people...it almost feels like an intrusion of my privacy, as sad and selfish and arrogant that is. I want to change it but it isn't something that will change over night. Somedays I feel I really want a relationship with her, and other days I really dont...So its a really torn decision for me, annoyingly.
