I was with my ex for over 6 years and it was a nightmare. i finally got the courage to leave, and now after a year and a half, I haven’t started seeing anyone new. I am terrified. There have been men interested in me but I find dating awkward and very hard. I don’t what to do or how to act. How do i get over this hump? Any advice is very much appreciated.

Well I know what you mean I was in the situation once, the reason why you might feel that way is because you were so used to knowing that the person you were with for that long was the only person for you. Also everything inside of you got used to that. I know how that feels but all you have to do is remind yourself that if he wasn’t the one for you its ok because there are millions of people on this earth and eventually you will find the person who truly loves you inside and out through the think and the thin. Once you remember that I think you should slowly start to feel better after that everything else comes natural just takes it easy for now.
First you ask yourself why you did not leave 5 yrs earlier.
Next, you need to find out about a guy before you ever date him.If he has a criminal back ground, is over 20 and does not work, has no place to live, no car no job ,maybe owes child support, drinks and/or does drugs, then you need to forget about him and keep on moving.
If he has a job, transportation, a home of his own,is not married, doesn’t pay out child support,doesn’t use women for sex and dump them, then get to know him better then go out with him.
Next, NO sex before marriage hon.Used to be a decent man would not have asked for sex before marriage and a decent girl would not have ever even considered it.Both men AND women have changed ,there are less decent people any more.
Remember, Sex makes babies and ties you to a guy for life
ALL birth control has a failure rate
No birth control will keep you from being used as a cheap sex toy or from getting dumped once he is done with you,regardless of whether or not you are pregnant
It takes longer to get to know someone and what they really are than it does to have sex or get pregnant
I have never met a woman who could control a guy and her relationship with him with her looks and sex for a life time.
well you have to start and move on that is what you have to do. make one rule if you are with them 2 years that is too long with no wedding if you are both suppose to be inlove. never putup with chinagains. if they talk weird walk out and leave dont’ put up fwith crap its time for you to shine and move on. its just a plae to be wooed and if it doesn’t work move on now dont’ want and don’t try and fall in love just date and play the field for awhile just move on.
Hi Chica, My advice sounds easier than it is. You just need to say yes to some of these guys that have been asking you out.
The one thing I’d get out of the way first and foremost is that you’re honest with them. Tell them about your last relationship. Tell them you still have trust issues, and if they care about you at all, they’ll understand.
Life doesn’t end because you left a jag. You can bet that he’s in the background laughing at how he screwed up your life. Don’t give him the satisfaction.
Good luck
My nightmare of a marriage was 12 years. I gave it over a year to feel safe. You need to remember, not all men abuse woman… I was mentally abused. You start talking to men. You need to remember you are good and strong for getting away. Start with a smile and good things will happen. I turned to online dating… with the right cautions it can be good. A good man will love you for who you are on the inside, knowing the outside can change at the blink of an eye. I remembered I believe in love and happily ever after… never stop believing.
Maybe its not that bad u might just be needing a good closure with ur ex. it seems as if it was hard. and u knw another thing… u might just havent found the right guy i mean it takes a while to get out there and find a guy and trust him and u knw u just might be scared to start another relationship which isnt bad cause u dont want to jump in to the next relationship make sure its the rite thing!!!
Remember the past, but dont dwell on it; take the good that can be learned and leave the negative behind.
Forgive yourself
Forgive him
Feel confident going foward.
Corinthians 5:17-So then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away 1 – look, what is new 2 has come!
Not all guys are like your last boyfriend. it sounds like he was bad. you gotta roll the dice at some point if you wanna find another relationship. put yourself out there…you can’t be open to love someone unless your open to being hurt again too.
look at someone you wouldn’t ideally put yourself with…maybe be surprisded with what you find.
I was going to say, Dr. Laura on the radio says to wait for at least a year before you date after a break up. you have that part done, but why not make it 2 years and take your time and work back into it slowly with a group of support people you trust and love. i.e. family, church, reunion from H.S. or College.
good luck

When you fall off the horse get right back on, its the only solution. It’s a cliche but its true. You can’t let fear rule you or you can’t ever truly live. It’s the bad times that make the good times in life truly worth living
Answer minehttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?…
Time and the right person is all that will do. If you don’t feel comfortable, don’t go out. If the person asking you out interests you, give them a shot.
Still, time and the right person is all that will do.
Take it slow. there are good guys out there, i’m sure of it! you’ll find someone. start out low-key, like going out for coffee or taking a walk or just hanging out and getting to know someone.
there are plenty of guys out there so take your time dating!
you have to move at your own pace
no one should be pushing you to be in a relationship it’s normal not to be in one
but just don’t rush into a reliationship
Yes, dating is hard. But you need to ask your self “is the cawk worth the time/effort/risk???” and the answer is yes! Good luck.
Take it 1 step at a time it will be hard at first and be yourself if they cant deal with that move on to the next one.the right man will come along when you least expect.
Learn from your experiences.
Be kind to yourself and let love’s eternal flame
into your heart. Let yourself be loved.
Love like you’ve never loved before!
just follow your heart and go out looking your best, one day you will find the one you are meant to be with.

dont think about the past
There is a huge part Missing in the Lives of so Many Woman Today! Mothers are not teaching their Daughters any Rules in Dating! So many are so desperate and have no clue that they are perpetuating their singleness. Guy have not changed in all of the Centuries where woman have really evolved from just being mothers.
Stop please Stop! Chasing and running after guys,men and boys that are not interested. Ladies you are losing the games. Perpetuating the onslaught of millions of loser Men out here. Rule #1
1.He is to set up contact and initiate the relationship
2. He is supposed to initiate almost all of the contact via email, phoning, and text messages.
3. You are not supposed to sleep with him on that Date! it is a DATE not a sexual free for all. This is his chance to show You what he posses on the inside. The Character of himself.
4. He is to continue to show you interest, it is okay to return his call. However give him a chance to call. Don’t Give up that Thang early then you are then labeled ****, Ho, Easy, Pathetic, Deseperate, B**** etc.
need I say more.
5. Don’t believe for a minute that a Man wants you to be Sexually Liberated, this is not true. Rules have not changed REALLY.
6. Beyonce has really said it best: If you Like it, Love It and desire to Be with It through thick and Thin HE WILL PUT a Ring On It!
Within 6 months to a Year if he has not even mentioned Marriage MOVE ON!
In the mean time you should be dating other potentials anyway. No SEX of course and your chances of Marriage are High. Let him know you are dating others. Ladies We Are the PRIZE.
God described us as being a Good Thing to a MAN! Proverbs 18:22
How are You A Good Thing and he does not even want to plan and take you out on a Good Date, Respect You, Commit to You.
Ladies we have got to change, we have got to change our standards.
Leave your response!
