Ok I was in a relationship off and on for five years, when it ended I took it really rough... like that was a year ago and I am just now ready to try again. But I am kinda scared, is that normal? I really don't think I could handle getting that hurt again, I don't think I would let it get that bad again but the thought of having to go through that again scares the hell out of me. and also when I do try again will I not feel what I should just because I am scared? When the time comes will I know how to love without pain?
You're only scared because you were very serious with this guy. If it took a year for you to get over then it meant alot to you. You dont want to go thru that again but you have to. (it is better to have love and lost, than never to have loved at all) It kinda seems like you're not ready to move on yet, judging by all your questions. When you meet a new guy and feel sumthing for him, you will know it. PS. what do you think about the Little league team makin it as far as they have for the WOrld series?
i thinkTransAmRocker is right; you are very normal. anyone in that long of a relationship would be conciencious of what could happen! you ahve nothing to worry about. Just remember, "NO GUTS, NO GLORY"-hope i helped.
Ive been scared to date for 3 years after a horrible relashionship. Its totally normal. But love is such a beautiful things, and dont be silly like me, and give up so many wonderful chances to love.
Ok I was in a relationship off and on for five years, when it ended I took it really rough... like that was a year ago and I am just now ready to try again. But I am kinda scared, is that normal? Yes, this is absolutely normal. As soon as you are ready, you will be able to move on without any issues. I was in an on and off relationship with someone who ended up hurting me pretty badly, and it took me a year and a half to even be able to consider that I would love someone else. I really don't think I could handle getting that hurt again, I don't think I would let it get that bad again but the thought of having to go through that again scares the hell out of me. and also when I do try again will I not feel what I should just because I am scared? The best way to learn is to know what went wrong last time and not let that happen again. You'll probably be timid at first, but what happened to me was when I met the right guy, I couldn't help it. I was scared, but also so excited at the prospect of finding love. When the time comes will I know how to love without pain? You will. You will be scared at first, I'm sure, but also excited like I said. And if the guy is a good one and worth your time, he'll be understanding and he will take things as slow as you need.
