A long time friend of mine was married this past weekend. His bride was a friend of ours from high school who moved here from Virginia. At the wedding I met a bride's maid who had just moved to my town about 6 months ago, and we just sort of "hit it off".

Now let me preface with some info about my past relationship history....it has been, IMHO, more than average, scarred with lying, cheating, wild, southern women. Yet still I find myself instinctually attracted to "bad girls" . They tend to be more aggressive , in ALL areas, and I find it VERY comforting. So after my last break-up, I vowed that I would NOT date these kind of girls. I have REALLY, REALLY, been trying to regain some religion, focus, and peace in my life (I'm Jewish, BTW) and I know these kind of girls are not what I need.

So now, back to Miss Bride'sMaid. She is a very cute little blonde (sorry...No PICS for maybe another day or two) , who is actually slightly older than me, and has confessed a "wild" past. I, too, have had a very wild past, and in-fact I still struggle with addictions and bad-habbits from those days. I try not to judge ANYONE for their past mistakes, as I hate when it happens to me.

Well, after the wedding we ALL (groomsmen and bride'smaids) went downtown and partied like rock stars on Beale St. . My friend had shown an interest in Miss Bride'sMaid and confessed this to me. I told him I had not really met her...yet...and I wished him the best of luck in his pursuit . He comes back 5 min. later and tells me that he thinks MissBride'sMaid has a thing for me. He tells me it is cool, and that I should go for it. So I intriduce myself, and we really start to click. We danced all night and she actually ended up coming home with me. NO WE DID NOT HAVE SEX. We just cuddled, kissed, etc.

Now...at the time I was in a VERY jolly mood, and I didnt really take the time to assess MissBride'sMaids actions and words extremely closely. Last night MissBride'sMaid invited me to watch some movies at her house, and again we ended up spending the night together. Things got a liitle bit more steamy this time, but upon a mutual agreement we halted activites BEFORE the point of no return.

This morning I am starting to mull the idea of spending more time with her around in my head. I have to be honest, I think this girl maybe a little "wilder" than she is letting on. I dont have any direct evidence, but I am worried that her wild streak is far from over, and that she is the kind of girl who will just end up hurting me in the end.

On the other hand, I am really enjoying myself...maybe I should just go with the flow.

What do y'all think ?

i'd say just keep hanging out with her, doing stuff, get to know her more. But don't go sleeping with her or you may become attached. Unless yer horny :p

I am pretty sure, that if I spend abother night or two with her that I will end up "sleeping with her" . And you are right...at that point I will begin to get attached.

I would ride it out and see what happens. She might be looking for someone to help her settle down, too. Or, you could both go nuts with each other and start robbing banks.

Keep the relationship in "friends" mode for now. Just don't put yourself into these situations and explain to her how you feel without all the details from your past relationships.

After a few weeks/months when you feel more secure around her, then make a commit to the relationship.

Bail now, your instincts are right. If you have a history of liking wild girls in the past, you're still probably drawn to them and you can definatley pick them out. So if you think she's wild, she probably is. If you want that go with it, but if you're trying to break that habit get out now.

I'd have to agree with Soybomb. If you don't want the relationship to get too physical, you better bail out now. You've already started it off the wrong way. I know from experience that it's hard to go back once you've started down that road.
