How do I navigate a woman who has past issues with a man? I really find her attractive and she’s super fun go be around but every time I go and do anything she assumes I’m trying to wrong her in some way. Is there some way to go abt this or am I cooked?

It takes time to heal from things that happened in the past all you can do it reassure, give her time and you just have to be good with communication and trying not to repeat things that went wrong in the past.(not saying u would) but just being consistent with how you treat her and give her time to adjust to something she’s probably not used to

I’d say reassure her and follow through and make sure your words/actions line up

I went through something similar to this. Dated someone for over a year who, in her relationship before me, was SA’d and she didn’t date for a while and when we started dating I got the hint from her friends to take it very slow (I also had a pretty good idea of what had happened before she ever told me; we were alr pretty good friends before dating). So that’s exactly what we did, we took it slow and I let her open up to me on her own time and schedule once she was comfortable…

I truly adore her and I show it, but we have only been going out for 6 weeks. I just fear that these things will get worse with time and I don’t know if things will get better or not

I feel like there will be an extinction burst where it’ll get a little worse or consistent before it gets better. I would say stick it out and keep showing up and such because hopefully she’ll be able to trust that nothing bad is going to happen

With that being said, just be patient with her and show her you really like her and really care about her. And like others have said, make sure your words and actions line up. That’s a really big tell. She’ll eventually open up to you and trust you once she’s ready and comfortable and understands that you can be trusted after being hurt in the past. Trust me, it’s worth it in the long run bc once she opens up and trusts you she’s gonna be the greatest thing you’ve ever known
