you know what really sucks?..... Girls who lead you on. Right now I'm dealing with that. Now she doesn't lead me on directly but she'll say things to friends who tell me like I'm the perfect guy for her and she would marry me, things like that but never has said it to my face. Now I don't know if she really means those things or she's leading me on and I really think thats the case. Right now we're at the "just friends" stage where nothing romantic has happened and we're just trying to get to know eachother more. I've had many girlfriends who I cared for deeply but with this girl I feel different when I'm with her, and unlike the other girls I feel I'm in love with her.................. But here's a story for you about her and a little about our situation so far.... She had this problem with her past and its a horrible one. She was strung out on drugs and had boyfriends who would pimp her out for drugs and just horrible things like that. She grew up on her own (i'll leave her parents and who they were andwhat they did out fo this) she now is doing A LOT better now living in another state where my older sister lives and befriended her and thats how I met her through my sister. And because my sister has gone through similar expierences with drug use and stuff, she really helped her stay clean and get her on her feet. At 17, she has a full time job and has her own place and is doing a lot better, she's now trying to get her GED. When I first met her almost 3 months ago I just about fell in love with her right then and there, and I found out a lot of her past through my sister but she did tell me some stuff. My sister tells me I should just stay friends with her help support her and our relationship will grow and I'm all for that, but I worry that if I'm not her boyfriend and not with her she could fall back into the drinking and drug using again b/c she hangs out with guys who do these things. Hard to tell her not to do these things b/c I dont want to seem, in her eyes, that I'm(can't think of the word) being bossy or trying to run her life, I just want her to have a good one and doing drugs ins't gonna help. But then if I come out that way and she not like it I run the risk of losing her friendship and it would be all over, so I have to be careful when I talk to her about this and I havn't yet. I'm going on too long with this but if anyone is at all interested in helping me out or something, I'd appreciate it. You can help me privately by E-mail. It should be on my profile.
