i hope you get some good advice here sorry i cant help you as i am going thru something similar good luck!!

Everybody who's suffered heartbreak goes through a period like you are at the moment. Unforunately theres no way of knowing it wont happen again but sometimes you have to throw caution to the wind and just say 'what the hell' and get out there and start dating again. You cant live behind a brick wall forever.

Hi,
I'm a 21 year old female who over a year ago split up with my ex of 2 n half years. Ever since I won't let any guy get close to me, as soon as I have a first date I want out of it as I'm scared I will get hurt again if I get to know the guy any better. Any suggestions on how not to feel scared? Are there any guys out there who can understand how I feel? Feeling lonely Kel |
truth is...you might get hurt again..part of life i'm afraid, and love. but if you never go further than the first date, then you will never progress any further with your problem..and therefore overcome it..
only way to overcome being scared is to understand what you are scared off and face it head on..you are in control.
get out there..start dating properly, accept the highs and lows, do things in your own time and when you find the right one, you will look back and think...that wasnt so scary..

thats a good way to think! and i never understood that phrase, becuase surely if the lows are lower than the highs, the lows weigh more |
er yeah...lol..
question piranah..which weighs more..a tonne of feathers or a tonne of lead?

Just go for it i always do no matter what happens, i'm a risk taker though i enjoy it if i get hurt i get over it but if i regret not doing something that sticks with me forever

You've got to let go of the past and start building on the future not every guy and women for that matter is only out to hurt people so go out enjoy yourself and if you find someone take it slow don't rush into anything to quickly that way you know your making the right decision
27.02.2007, 22:33 quote
Time heals ..memories fade...Learn from the past to be aware of certain things that you may have experienced before. I dont trust anyone anymore..sadly..i try and i still am positive to a certain degree, but.. I guess it will take the right person to heal the wound..
and that person is yourself.. build self esteem, confidence if you feel you have lost it... you must protect yourself and until some-one builds that trust with you again never let your guard down until it happens and then not totally ..everthing takes time.. pain in the a*** i know.... and to be honest i dont know if any one else feels the same but the harder you look the less you find. Good luck. xx

Just wondering though, the more you get hurt the harder your heart becomes - as a defence - and its trickier then to open your heart to someone new, or is that just me? |

If it hurts then it must have meant something to you, which is good. Unless you're one of the lucky people in life (ie. lottery winners, ambidextrous people, those people who can eat their own weight in cake yet seemingly never have an ounce of fat on them, natural blondes etc.) who meet their true love as a teen and then stay with them for the rest of their life then you can expect to get hurt a few times. You just have to draw the positives from the experience and try and move on.
If you let it prevent you from getting close to anyone else then you'll just get bitter, withdrawn, and the longer you leave it the more difficult (and in some cases, nigh on impossible) you will find it to get close to someone who is actually worth it. Any break-up, whether its with a partner or a good friend, always makes you question yourself, and its easy to get paranoid. Just remember that when somebody says 'its not you, its me' they may actually be right.
Don't let this ruin your life. Confidence is a bitch to get back once you've lost it.

The way it ended with my ex didn't end in the conventional way. It never had a proper false stop to it and in some ways still doesn't. It's taken me months to get where I am now. Truth be told, even though at times I hate her I still love her and in all honesty probably always will. It'll be easier to paste part of what I sent to her at one time than re-type something with the same gist.

> I've never let anyone into my heart like I let you. It's hard to imagine doing the same with anyone else. Regardless, when you love someone so much I don't think you ever let them go. Not fully. I think people are made up of other people. Who they naturally are and the people they meet during their life. So you'll always be inside me. No matter where I am, who I'm with, you will always be here in me. If you need help I will always be here for you. If you are ever hurt I always do my best to get to you and make you better. If anyone ever hurts you I will protect you. Maybe we shouldn't have stepped over into lovers and just stayed friends? But then we wouldn't have experienced each other, I wouldn't have gotten to know you as I did and I wouldn't want to be a friend to you as much as I do. |
Since her my views on relationships have changed in some ways. I always wanted to get married, settle down have kids and grow old. Now I just want a friend to have a laugh with without getting serious. Which is rather odd for me in some ways. I'm not so sure I could deal with the hurt should I get involved as deeply as I have before. But then, if you never take a risk then you're never living.
So now I'm sitting back and seeing what happens. I've learnt that dreams hardly ever come true and the reality is that if you plan too hard you only get disapointed when you realise they were just pipe dreams.
One of the best things I've ever heard is someone say "it only feels wrong until the next one comes along, and then it feels right".
