Recently, I have developed the beginnings of a friendship with a member of the opposite sex - male. Seems like a nice enough guy, soft spoken, articulate, educated and somewhat self-assured. However, I am fully aware that he has truly been "stung" in the love department after a 21 year relationship and marriage that went "belly up" when the wifes sexual preference reversed itself from males to females.
He has used the term "you can trust me" twice - "tells it like it is now." However, he's the first to admit that he doesn't trust women. Didn't date for years after the seperation and has only entered one relationship since.
What I'm trying to figure out is this: Does he say "you can trust me" because that means I really shouldn't? Or is he using this phrase because he wishes that's what someone would say to him? Does he feel that he's providing comfort to the other person by conveying trust in himself - and wishes someone would do the same for him? Or is he a snake in the grass
