I've only had about two relationships in my life. They were both long drawn out affairs with definitely the wrong people. They ended up using me and taking advantage of me. My own fault really. The trouble is that I never technically dated. I wasn't the one who started the relationship each time. I was friends with both girls first and they initiated it.
It's been over six years since my last relationship ended. I've tried to convince myself that I'm either not ready to date, can't afford it, not interested in anyone, etc. but I'm running out of excuses. I'm really lonely and really want to find someone special. The thing that holds me back is that I'm actually terrified of dating, pathetic as that sounds. Even the thought of someone getting close to me makes me want to run. I can't stand the awkwardness of getting to know someone. There is no one that I know in person who I could date and I really don't know how to meet people. I doubt I'd be able to even talk to anyone at any tpye of singles event. Has anyone else experienced this and overcome it? I've never been good at conquering my fears. This is really depressing me.
