Once bitten, twice shy. Two of your girlfriends have reasonable fear. You blamed your fear for possible lack of maturity. I too have the same fear but I blame my ambition which will suffer ( at least the way I see it) from any kind of emotional commitment. I have enough. I am not ready to add more. By the way talking couch was so interesting. How could you come up with such imagination? If couch would reveal all the "brunt" it bore, I guess the world will be a better place to live. No pretensions, no lies. Wait.... It may be the other way. No faith, no love.
