Had a great night last night. Stayed up late talking with a friend. He told me about his childhood abuse. I'd never had a guy feel comfortable enough with me to express such a traumatic event. I've had girlfriends talk with me and I could empathize. No problem. I really didn't have much to say. I offered a listening ear and tried not to jump on a bomb. http://www.pandys.or...ult/aunsure.gif He's a fairly new friend. I make friends quite easily and I have lots of guy friends. It doesn't surprise me that he felt he could talk with me, it just had never happened with a guy before. I don't want this guy to become too attached to me. He said he has the problem with not wanting to be touched just like I do. We talked about the personal space issue at first and that led into the more detailed information. He said there has only been one other person that he had no issues with touching him. It is his best "girl" friend from childhood. For some reason he has no issue with me either. Going to have to be careful with this one. I'm not looking for a relationship and don't want anything more than friendship. I've been bringing him to church with me and we talk a lot. As long as nothing inappropriate develops, this could be a great friendship.
