I've been cheated by a gf before. i have trust issues. now i started dating a girl and felt she was attracted to my friend so i freaked out. ideas?

Trust issues indeed: When you have a relationship with someone you have to be open with them and it has to be reciprocal. If she is not at the same place as you are emotionally then she may withdraw. You have to be sensitive to her needs just as she has to be sensitive to your needs. Otherwise, it won't work!

Do some work: At a listed age of 33, you have some work to do now or you will miss out.You first need to discover how to appreciate yourself.If you can't, you'll never trust that someone else could.You also need to learn to communicate at a deeper level, discarding the protective shell you maintain.Find a therapist you can talk to and get to the root of your issues, otherwise the pain will continue.
