Well yes, she got hurt as well. We both were hurt, I lost her trust, and to be honest I didn't trust myself anymore either. She meant a lot to me, and knowing that I hurt her, I hated myself for years.

I spoke with her years later, and while she had forgiven me, I only recently was able to forgive myself. I just didn't want to take a chance I'd hurt someone I cared for again.

Well to be fair, the relationships I have had never started with dates. They kind of just happened. You know someone for a while and things progressed further. I don't believe I've ever actually just taken someone out for a dinner/movie style thing before.

When I was younger I messed up a good relationship I had, stupid kid making stupid mistakes. Because of it I got hurt, a lot. Withdrew from the whole scene, and haven't even considered a relationship in 18 years. Now I'm 37 and honestly don't know what to do.

Approaching complete strangers seems rude, and most dating sites seem like scams. Anyone have any advice?
