Met her last week after talking for a bit. We spent the whole day together. Walked around, had lunch, laughed a lot, kissed. It was my first time feeling something genuine like that. No games. Just real connection.

Since then we’ve been talking every day. She’s not just some random girl. She’s intense, thoughtful, sensitive. She’s been through a lot. Dealt with insecurity. Had an eating disorder when she was younger. Her dad’s been seriously ill. She carries emotional weight and it shows. Sometimes she pulls back and questions everything. Says I don’t really know her yet. That she’s scared to get close again. That maybe I’ll realize I deserve someone “easier.”

I try to stay calm. Steady. Present. I don’t act needy. I don’t overshare. But I open up enough to show her I’m not playing. That I actually care. She tells me I make her feel safe. But then her walls go up again. And I’m left overthinking everything.

I want this to work. But I don’t want to lose myself in the process. I don’t know if I should keep reassuring her or give her space. I don’t know if I’m doing too much or not enough.

Any of you been through something similar? How do you support a girl who’s still healing without falling into a validation loop?

Trying to play this right. Not chasing, not flaking. Just don’t want to fumble something that might be real.

Bro, it’s over if you really think you’re gonna get real advice here.

But alright, what she’s doing right now is basically testing the waters, seeing if it’s safe or not. What you need to do is match her pace.

Don’t play the savior.

Just show her you’re grounded, emotionally present, but not desperate or reactive.

Stay solid. Stay true. Let her come closer at her own speed. But don’t abandon your center just to keep her from walking away.

You take steps forward and backwards all
About balance and show her reassurances when needed

Are you a PUA coach per chance?

Stay true and try to bond with her more so you can understand her more and more but don't show you're needy give her space

You speak to women. How did you even find her? I have no idea how you have the courage to talk to women and the ratio of men to women in my area is horrible so fuck you.

I'm surprised she's making it hard for you.

The easiest women I've been with all ended up having some traumatic stuff happen in their lives.

I've slept with women who later on told me:
- that their father died when they were young
- that their grandpa raped them for years when they were little
- they lived in assisted living facilities from 16+ because their parents didn't care enough about them
- that former boyfriends beat them
- she used to work as an escort to make money for some "lover-boy" when she was only around 16 years old

They all have bodycounts in their 50s by the time they turn 20, and have burnt all sexual bonding capabilities that would have been there had you slept with them earlier.

You can't save these women; even when they are nice genuine and loving to you one moment, they'll always look for male validation to numb their pain, and the moment you can't be there for them, be it because you're traveling or too occupied by work, they'll seek it from another guy.

100%. Borderline personality disorder fits the description quite well.
