People prove they're trustworthy over time by keeping a confidence, fulfilling their words, keeping appointments, doing what they said they were going to do, being reliable at work, considering others' needs as well as their own...

I guess what I'm trying to say is a responsible person is usually a trustworthy one and an irresponsible person is not.

A person can't be a responsible and trustworthy person in a love relationship and an irresponsible and untrustworthy person outside the relationship. People are more consistent than that. If they have the tendency to let people down in little and big things outside their relationships with the opposite sex, then be wary of getting too close to that person, because, chances are, they'll let you down.

I think there is no quick path to trust. It evolves over time, with experiences that build each moment, and even then, trust carefully, with eyes wide open. We are all just humans, and sometimes we hurt each other without meaning to, or without thinking enough.

I trust me, to be true as I can in all situations, knowing I am fallible.

If you're talking about trusting another person, say in a romantic relationship, have faith, but verify!! LOL Only mildly do I joke...I wouldn't be a detective, nor hire one, but I would not believe the fantastically fictional sounding stories either. Walk with courage, and keep your senses.

You learn to trust someone by being trustful yourself, you can't expect to start off with your trust for someone at 100%, you have to observe their actions and then gradually build up trust. You know when you really trust someone when you feel like you can say anything or do anything around them. No matter how weird or akward.

Believe me, I know about this one. I was the most trusting soul alive. But experience has taught me to learn to see what is really happening. If your BF or husband or wife is going out until all hours or talking on the phone in private or on the computer, I would worry too. Words are cheap but actions speak volumes. If you ask this question then you are probably having suspicions. Sometimes they are unfounded but I would sure keep my eyes open. I trust my husband completely but if I have reason to doubt, I will find out why. Good luck!
