I try to remember that the new person is just that new. it is hard. I do keep my guard up and look for the "flags" that tell me that they are not worth my trust.Looking back over past relationships i relise that the warnings were there i just didn't want to see them. Now i look for them. I trust but only to the point that they have proven it. trust shouldn't just be given it should be earned, and, for me it is earned before it is given
