Cindy,
You asked,

>>hurdle of feeling weird when he's just treating me the way a man is
>>supposed to treat a lady?
Just keep seeing your friend until you become comfortable being treated as a
lady should be treated. It is a good thing that you recognized this.
Normally, someone with your history tends to be attracted to the same type
of individual
and it can become an endless cycle. I am glad for you that you havee found
such a friend.
