Ok so a little over a year ago I had a boyfriend who was somewhat abusive, he was very controlling and did anything he wanted with my body. I was also molested when I was younger. (Just a little back story for you) Last night I went to the movies with a bunch of people, including my crush. He was so sweet and we were whispering the whole movie and he would get so close to me like we were going to kiss. He also put his hand face up on the cup holder, and kept stroking my hand a little bit (although, it could have been just twitching) when I would get near his, and in all the scary parts I'd grab his arm. I was almost positive he was trying to hold my hand and then more might have happened, but I'm honestly just scared... I don't know what it is because I feel like I've definitely gotten over my previous relationship because it wasn't that bad. Something in my brain just doesn't let me be affectionate with the guy I like and I'm wondering if anybody knows what this is or has had a similar experience and has any advice.
Scared of intimacy from the guy I like?
