I’m going around in circles, and I can’t get out.

I met this guy on an online dating site, we’ve been seeing each other for a few months now. During that period, we had a great time getting to know each other, I even lost my virginity to him. He is 26 and I’m 20, but that doesn’t bother me. What bothers me though, is if he is seeing other girls while seeing me. It makes me feel like shit and not good enough. I’ve tried asking countless of times, but it always gets stuck in my throat. I really like him and I’m sure he likes me too or else we wouldn’t continue seeing each other, but I feel like he doesn’t like me enough to go meet other girls. I’m scared of the truth. He’s the first guy I’ve ever grown attached to, he showed me what it’s like to be loved and happy with a partner. I’m terrified of losing him because I know if his answer isn’t what I want to hear I’d have to end things with him. Part of me wants to accept him seeing other girls, as long as I can be with me, but the other part is writhing in sadness and frustration and want to end things now. The emotions I go through every time he he goes on his profile, or if any girl he randomly adds on his facebook, or he disappears for two days without sending me a reply and later replying as if it was nothing. I know I’m naive and stupid to believe some of the sweet things he says, but I can’t help it. It’s not like he treats me terribly at all! It’s just the fact that I’m not the only girl for him. I want to push him away, but I know I don’t have enough strength to do it. I never knew what it was like to like someone so much. He makes me happy but that feeling of insecurity just itches all the time. And it doesn’t help when I over think and make up scenarios. Is it because I’m 6 years younger? I look too cute and not sexy and mature looking enough to him? Yes, the things he told me about his past does scare me away sometimes, but he’s sincere and caring. Sigh, I’m tired of games and am starting to get dizzy in this endless merry-go-round ride, no matter how fast it goes, I don’t think I can ever put my foot out and leave.

The reason you're afraid to confront him is because you know you won't like the truth. It's clear you have strong feelings for him, and maybe you want to believe in a best case scenario, but in love sometimes there just isn't one. If you met on a dating site and he's 6 years older, that would make him at least 24. He's seeing multiple women at once, and I find it hard to believe he doesn't know it upsets you. In my opinion, he's playing games, and he lacks the maturity to provide you the love and support that you need. Confront him, it will be painful but agonizing over it will be far worse.

if he likes you the same way you like him he wouldn't be seeing these other women or talking to them. i understand how hard it is to break away from someone you really live especially if you lost your virginity to them but you cant live your life being afraid what hes going to do or what hes doing. I think you should get out of the situation asap you have your whole life ahead of you
