I've been cheated on by my last 3 girlfriends so how do I take things slow?

A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I've been friends with this girl for about 6 months, and 2 weeks ago we kissed. It wasn't just a friend kiss either, it felt like there was something more there. And it wasn't a one time thing because it happened again a few days later. We've talked everyday since, which is cool. And I do REALLY like her, but even though she says that she likes me too, I have this nagging feeling that something is off.

I know it's cliché to say that my trust has been damaged by past relationships but it's true. I've been cheated on by 3 of my most recent girlfriends. I think I'm constantly on the look-out for something to go wrong now. And for some reason I'm thinking that whatever it is we have right now is going to go belly up, soon.

She's a lovely girl and whenever we're together we have fun, but in the last week she's cancelled thrice on plans to do stuff together and I know that doesn't sound like much but whenever we're texting and in the middle of a conversation too, she just stops. I sound very paranoid, but I've been burned before.

The thing is though, I'm a tattoo artist and I'm worried that she's sticking around for a tattoo but I know I cant tattoo her if I want to date her.

I'm wondering what advice if any, anybody has for me and my damaged psyche. And if anyone has tips on taking things slowly they'd be welcomed with open arms

Thanks in advance :-)

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

I've told her how I feel about her.And I've implied that I want to try with her. I haven't explicitly said that I want to be with her though, for fear that things will change in a negative way. I want to do things right

6 months sound like a long time to stick around for a tattoo. I think whne the time is right maybe you should tell her how you feel. Tell her that sometimes when she does certain things you feel....do not accuse her simply let her know your feelings.

Deagan agony auntGo with your gut. If a girl really likes a guy, they don't cancel thrice in a week. Good luck.
