Should I be scared?

I've never ever got that floating feeling, or had anyone aside from my family, make me feel so complete so happy. I'm more comfortable with myself now than I've ever been and now this new guy I'm dating, is like a gift from God. It must be wrong to feel this incredible, to fall in love like this. And that's what kind of makes me doubt, I mean I've dated some real jerks and I can't help but think that my faith in this new relationship isn't strong enough. I want this, because it feels so right. But is it too good to be true? He tells me all the time that he loves to make me laugh, and that my happiness is of the upmost importance to him. My sister says I shouldn't be scared and to just live because only time will tell. And I respect that. What do you think?

Thanks.

Of course you should be scared. You should also be excited, optimistic, and happy. Not everyone gets the opportunity to have the feelings you do now. But don't let fear take away what could be an awesome opportunity.

I'm scared too cuz I didn't date any jerks and I have been fighting him off since I met him, I did my last bf like that too. I come up with reasons to discontinue the relationship, but I say if your family think you're not blinded they can be quite honest, especially mothers, they can see better if you are clouded with being in love, but he sounds plenty good 2 me. Your'e just not a risk taker, i've bet you have never ran out of gas and taken hours choosing the right diapers if you ever had a child.

First of all, Congratulations on finally finding what sounds like "The Love of your Life" thats really something to be excited about, and for you to be cautious and worried judging from your past relationships with jerks I would say is completely normal. Just dont let it cloud your judgment on your current guy, dont constantly compare him to your exs where you end up not appreciating the good things that he does for you. Say one of your exs always called you a nick name (Example) say your name is sue and your ex always called you "susie" and for whatever reason it drove you nutz. If your current guy happens to do that, dont freak out and focus on that, be appreciative of all the good things that he does for you that your exs didnt. I dont mean to be rambling but since you are already having slight doubts it is possible for you to end up focusing on all the negative and overlooking the positive, dont expect for the relationship to go bad until he actually does something to give you a reason to think that. Until that happens be thankful and excited that you finally found a guy worth dating. Good Luck!
