Dear Jackie:

You want to love-and-be-loved on one hand, you are scared on the other hand, so you are conflicted. You are drawn to the possibility of an intimate, loving relationship and you are scared of it at the same time.

You felt safe at the thought that he has a relationship with another woman and you felt joy when you heard that relationship is over.

You enjoyed the night with him but you were distressed about his use of the adjective fun regarding his time with you, scared he is only after fun with you.

Does this make sense to you?
