Date his brother. Kidding. Getting hurt is a part of dating. Once you realize that it's easier to relax and just be yourself. Someone is bound to notice you once that happens. That's just been my experience.

If you dont try, nothing happens. It sounds like you are afraid.....like 50% of the world.......

Btw, you will get hurt no matter what you do. Trying not to get hurt only makes you lonely.

Just try to pick people who will compliment you and not bad for youflowerforyou

Don't worry so much about the dating stuff. Just keep doing things you enjoy and try to be your own best friend first.

There's nothing wrong with feeling some anxiety. Just go slow and trust your instincts! flowerforyou

You need to get out there and try. Have fun with it and don't take dating so seriously for a while. You have time to seek out what you want in life and from a partner. You are in control of your own happiness. We have one shot at life...make the most of it. Fear is a reality we all have but in the long run, there is really nothing to fear.

It's quite normal to be afraid of getting hurt. Just take as long as you need getting to know someone. No one says you have to start loving him right away, just find someone that you are attracted to and take you time getting to know him before you allow yourself to get emotionally attached. If he likes you, he won't mind it at all. He'll be happy just being your friend until you're ready to move beyond that. Just think of how wonderful it can be when you're close to someone :wink:

Gypsy .. good advise.

Love is a gamble. No matter what you do. No one LOVES getting hurt. We don't start dating someone with the mentality "Oh Goodie! I can't wait til they break my heart" smokin

You cannot allow the fear of being hurt paralyze you as it is also keeping you from enjoying your life. I agree with Bay Area, don't worry so much about the dating, it will come naturally if you find someone you are interested in. In the meantime, get involved, get out there and enjoy your life and get to know yourself a bit in the process.

Psh... Child's play. Try being 22 and having only been on 3 dates your entire life that all end in disappointing failure. :P

The only advice I have to offer is that as the woman, you've already got most of the relationship leverage in your possession. I suggest you use it. Go out and don't be shy about looking for good, single guys. They LOVE it if the women are actually as aggressive as they.

Hon, I'm 40 and I still get scared, but you can't live your life in a bubble. I know, they always pop, so get out there and pop that bubble. Just remember that you are in control. Go for it while you still can.
