Hello,
we all want to avoid a broken heart, but i have come to beleive that it is part of life, if you try to protect yourself all the time, it may make you lonely and very bored. How about opening up in stages, give a little bit and explain how you feel all the time, explain that you have been hurt before and that you are scared it will happen again. I am quite a strong believer in lond distance relationships as i ahd one for 5 years and married the person. If you are both commited and faithful it can work. Writing, emailing, phoning, suprise visits can all work out be be quite exciting. personally if you dont try you will never know, im not saying go in full force a little at a time. You might even meet the person for you and end up being happy! Would it be worth throwing that change away??
good luck! melons.
P.s By the way Norman the dog are you 2?? i expected my 2 year old to make a stupid remark like that, if you dont want to help dont answer!
