So I’ve (24F) never been in a relationship before. None of my crushes were ever interested in me and all the guys I’ve sort of seen were hookups/casual which makes me feel like I’ve had no emotional experience and don’t really know how to develop emotional intimacy with people I’m actually interested in. I also have sex related intimacy issues (from past trauma) where I feel like I need sex to be able to get somewhat emotionally intimate but then also I’m so scared that I’m only good for sex and that guys see me that way too. I have a crush on a guy (27) and we’re just getting to know each other but I’m afraid that I’ll mess it up with him because of these issues. I’m afraid that I don’t know anything/about feelings and my inexperience will cause me to make wrong moves. I’m also constantly afraid that I’m never going to good enough to be liked and wanted by a guy and that I’m going to be rejected again. How do I overcome these feelings so that I don’t mess it up w this guy?
