How to deal with a guy who's been hurt?

Anonymous
--someone who's been hurt before.

I mean screwed over by his ex. He loved her and she betrayed him.

Their break up was a while ago, but now he's kind of afraid of women. Because as he says they can f*** you but they can also f*** you over.

He likes me, and I like him. I think we'd be really compatible (from all I've seen up until now...), but I want to make sure that he's actually ready.

How do I make sure of it?

How do I let him know I'm not a bitch who'll break his heart?

How can he trust me?

He isn't pitying himself.

This has happened to him some time ago. From that moment on he has been too careful with women and has trust issues.

He'd rather just sleep with a woman than actually have a relationship, because he believes he'll get screwed again.
