Sorry Bunkum Bunny, gotta totally disagree with your last comment. Although being free of committing to any goals can be fun, putting my life down on paper always gives me more headspace/objectivity.
The whole fear of acceptance thing? I kind of came to the conclusion that this was more the result of objectifying others whilst having low self esteem, and feeling let down if they [or your objectified concept of them] will accept something like you, thus depreciating their own value in your eyes [hope that made sense

].
My last relationship was nearly a year ago, prior to that I did the whole fuck buddy thing twice, and went out with a few others. I miss the whole intimacy thing but I kind of needed time to fly free [plus going out with a manic depressive girl is a whole kettle of responsibility fish that i cant handle]. The best advice I could give from my experience in r/ships is to not to try to change people, or expect them to be your knight in shining armour. People will do this of there own accord if they believe your worth it, and a big hint for girls here, most guys cant handle conflict or pressure all that well [ever have a guy say he'll call you, then doesn't?]. Mummy issues aside, I guess all I look for in a relationship now is a girl thats interesting, attractive, and a challenge. I dont feel like I'm missing out on anything, but there are those times when you feel you've really got something to give, but noone to give it to [so maybe I am

].
[Plaz, it will get easier]
PEACE
