This girl I've been dating says I scare her because I'm too closed off, and don't want to share anything about my past. Why should I just freely offer up information about things that have hurt me, or the bad things I've done? How in the world can that help a relationship? I don't get it. She says I intimidate her as well. She calls me a smartass. I thought girls liked that sort of thing. I don't think I'm a jerk. Maybe I am. What should I do? Why is everything so difficult? Stress is not fun....

I think that it's a true mark of a good relationship when you actually want to share those sorts of things with your partner. Early on, certainly you wouldn't want to, but as time goes on, I'm sure you'll become more comfortable, and thus able to truly share yourself with her. Give it time...
