So I've been talking to this girl for about a year on and off and she wants a relationship and I want that too but every time I start a new relationship I always seem to end up ruining it because I'm afraid of getting hurt. It's a lot to ask of someone who's out to "go back in the closet" and I think I try to guard my feelings because I'm afraid that when I start to really develop feelings the other person will want to end things because of me not being out. I guess my question is what can I do to prevent what's happened in my past relationships from happening again in this new one?
