LONG READ!! I'm a sophomore in college. My roommates friend met a guy at a house party, W who's now her boyfriend. All 3 of them were trying to set me up with R. W is very nice. He's funny and he paid for our drinks and food after we went out one night. R is very funny. W said he's only had one relationship before and is ex cheated on him. I told W I've only been in one relationship before too and it was really shitty. R and I made out at the party and my friends a W were so happy haha. We all crashed in my roommate and I's room. R and I were messing around and I ended up going to his room with him. When we were leaving my room, he picked me up and I wrapped my legs around him. He's pretty strong. We were walking to his building and he's cute he was like, how good is your coordination? And he kissed me but we walked at the same time and I stopped just before we fell off the sidewalk. We were drunk btw too. He asks me about my major. He was very respectful. He helped undress me, my ex never did that. We got in bed and messed around more. He asked if I was sober and I said I'm not that experienced and he said that it was ok that he's only ever slept with one girl. I gave him a bj because he asked and I don't mind it. He also gave me a hickey which I've never gotten before 😳 We cuddled for a bit after and he fell asleep but I have a hard time sleeping next to someone so I got dressed and left. The next morning we all hung out, me, R, W, my roommate and her friend. R dressed really nice in a nice sweater and jeans. When he and W saw the hickey on my neck they gave each other high fives because my roommate's friends got one too from W. I was a little cautious about continuing to talk to R but my friends said that he likes me. I'm scared he could be talking to other girls. That's what happened with my ex. He humiliated me. I felt safe with R. He asked for consent and made me feel so nice but I'm scared this is all just a set up to be humiliated again. My friends said its ok because if he did screw me over, W would beat him up. R and I text everyday. He's very funny and I asked him if it's ok if we're just friends first and he says it's ok and he understands I want to go slow. He has all sisters and a stepbrother. He said his mom is very hard working. W also said he's romantic. I feel something between R and I but I'm scared to catch feelings. He does have a really nice body and he's attractive and sweet but he also wears a SnapBack which kind of symbolizes he could be a jerk. I like him though I told my friends I feel safe with him. He gives really nice hugs too. He snapchats go along with our conversation through texting. It sounds like he loves his family and is hard working. I'm scared to get hurt again. My ex made fun of me for being a virgin and he was a complete douche. But I feel safe with R no red flags yet. We've been texting for a week now. What do you ladies think?
