How do you know if he really cares or just wants sex? I’m a girl and her early 20s and I know I’m not the only girl that’s self-conscious sometimes. But how can you really tell if he actually cares or he’s just saying things to get you to have sex? How do you know when he tells you that you’re pretty, that he misses you or he wishes he were with you right now; if any of it’s true? I know you have to go with your gut and live and see where things go but what if you’re scared to open up because you’ve been hurt so many times in the past?
