I'm young and dumb in many ways but I also feel I am mature beyond my years in others. However one aspect of life I never got was interpersonal relationships whether it be dating or friends. I've always had a hard time opening up and every time I do it usually is used against me in some way. So I became anxious and hardheaded all wrapped in a ball of depression. So I don't know "texting etiquette" for girls my age. Like am I trying to defuse a bomb, or just find out common interests? Authenticity has never been a thing I felt from people I talk to... Someone was always hiding something else they didn't want to talk about or their true intentions with your relationship in general. Then I accidentally met you... The way you talked about things in your life and how you were so open right off the bat, it was refreshing to see. Then finding out we have such common interests in life, then there is age... We're both adults and I'm the young man who claims to be an old soul, who just happened to meet one he connected with possibly too late. You've been hurt and put upon by life and claim to be fine with it all but I know you hurt. You've felt like nothing but an object for men or just another "fantasy" I am not that though. At first probably, but the more I learn the more I love. I get excited about it and maybe I do text a lot. But it's just saying things that pop up/off in my mind. And I feel like I'm scaring you away now... Life is what happens when you're busy making plans. And this definitely wasn't something I was planning on, yet here we are. I know you have reservations about the whole situation and I'd be lying if I said I didn't too. But I know what I feel and I'm sure you do as well. You're hurting from previous relationships and experiences, all I want to do is be a break from it all for you. Let me be the one to try to make it ok. I don't care what people think about us they can say anything they want but I'm not going to give up that easy. I've dealt with shit my whole life so what's a little more if I get someone who loves me out of it? Let's just take what time we have left and just enjoy each other's company. Why do we have to make it make sense to others? I don't think we do, and I rather just have fun and fuck off. What do ya say to that then?
