I have a question.I had been out of the dating game for awhile,with the divorce and taking care of a sick daughter,who has passed on.It took me awhile to get back into dating after that.But then i realize that she would want me to be happy.Then when I met someone he hurt me bad,can't be trusted.Now here comes the question how do I learn to trust again?I know that not all men are alike but its so hard.Once u are out of the dating site for so long u foget how tough it is out there?

You either do or you don't...not really an easy answer to this question. No one can tell you how to trust someone again, furthermore none of us can show you how...you either do or you don't.

Just remember to take things slow and be on the lookout for warning signs. It will take some time but you will learn to trust again if you find the right person.

The dating scene is a lot different now though.

I'm still learning to trust, but I've learned what to watch out for when meeting someone new. I keep my guard half up, I remain cautious yet outgoing and if I see any warning signs, I'm gone. Even if I feel slightly irked by someone, they will never get a chance to get to know me. You learn to be careful. It took me a year to heal after everything I had gone with through my ex. It takes time and when you feel ready to trust again, you will know.

Can't be said any better than that. Either you're willing to put yourself out there or not.

Keep posting in the posts and let people get to know you.
If you don't get a date out of it- your sure to make many friends.
I just jumped on the train so to speak and got out there.
Sure I am afraid to get hurt again, but the way I look at it...
If I don't try, I will never know what is out there, and may pass a chance to have love again in my life, if I don't at least try.
I just find I am a whole lot more cautiouse now.
Good luck to you!

I have been out of it for 8 years. I am STILL trying to figure it out.

You don't learn to trust again. It is something you must be willing to give. Trust me I know. I have the same issues and am working through them.

Good luck to ya flowerforyou

You're right, you have to make yourself learn to trust again. I am still learning. What I have picked up so far that help's is, don't run in heart first! Keep a safe distance so that if you get dumped, it won't hurt so much. Make's it so much easier to move on.

I am sorry for the loss of your daughter! flowerforyou I lost my husband 10 yrs ago next weekend. It is very difficult at times to trust again. I had a hurt since being widowed and like you found it so hard. But, someone will come along and blow that fear out of the water and likely when you least expect it. Hang in there.
