Hi all,
I am a 27 yr old professional female who has never been in a relationship. I have had some incredibly rewarding and fulfilling friendships with both men and women and I have felt love this way. However, for some reason, whenever I think about relationships, I feel uneasy. I feel I don't know what it means to be in one or HOW to be in one.I am Middle Eastern because I'd prefer to meet someone of my culture and because I know I want to be married I have posted my profile on internet dating sites. Last year, I met someone on the site and we exchanged pictures and corresponded for almost a year by email, IM, and the phone. We met in Boston this past weekend and had a good time. But whenever I think about anything more I feel strangely disgusted and scared -- not with HIM per se, just REALLY SCARED. Can anyone else relate to the prospect of feeling scared about being with someone? I want to pursue things with this guy but after some years of frustration I always have a sinking feeling that it's not going to work. Please help me, all I can think about is what a freak I am.
