I have had several situations where I have been taken advantage of so if I seem standoffish, it's because I don't know you yet and I am affraid to let my guard down. If you truly like and respect me, you will understand. I am not afraid to admit that these things have happened to me and I'm not even afraid to meet new people but just keep in mind to give me time to warm up to you. Don't tell me that it's alright to trust you or anything like that, I'll leave it up to myself to judge that.
