If she has an underlying issue about depression she's not gonna have self esteem enough and that is usually common even if it scared you don't let it...the only thing you might have to work harder at is building her self-esteem and some cases it's worth it I have experience

Depression can be crippling emotionally at times and when/if it gets that bad you just have to be strong so the fact that she's sharing this with you means she is starting to trust you...which is key with someone with low self-esteem so don't break it for any reason

I've been there. Got through it by opening up. Be careful GWT, you're about to take on a very important role in this girl's life. And on principle I will kick your arse if you screw up what you have going with her.

I am aware of it and I am nervous, but I believe I am fully ready for this. When I thought about her taking a break from school and spending time with me, the happiest part about that for me wasn't actually that I was going to see her, but that I was going to be able to be there for her when she needed me. I absolutely hate seeing he like this and want nothing more than to be able to make her smile and laugh when I can and be a pillar for her to lean on when she needs it.

I feel so weird opening up and saying this, but I just think this girl is special. When she was telling me how I deserved better she said that she didn't want to hurt me and I told her that the only thing that could hurt me was losing her. Like, I'm treading into new waters here. I'm feeling things and thinking about things I've never done before when it comes to a relationship. I have a really weird nervous, excited energy about this whole thing.

I talk to her and when I'm done all I want to do is talk to people about her. (case in point: see my main topic of discussion in the IM thread for the last few weeks).

And AnThat, I would hope for no less. I hope this entire board kicks my arse if I end up breaking this girl's heart.
