I'm 25 yo, and I've never dated or been with anyone. I realize that not all men are jerks or unreliable, but I always find myself thinking just that when a guy flirts with me. I immediately think I'll just be left when I won't have sex with him right away. I also hate feeling pressured into anything. It's not like I want to be alone. I get lonely, but just trying to get to know a guy who seems interested in me makes me anxious (is the word I'm looking for I guess) & defensive. I'm trying to understand if I'm just not ready to be dating or if it's something I should look in to more. I'd like to ask my mom for advice, but I can't really because I don't want her to worry about me. Especially if it's something that I should be able to shake off on my own. Honestly, I'm getting sick of worrying about this too. Maybe I should just forget about finding someone, and if someone stumbles into my life that refuses to be chased away then I'll know he must be the one. I don't know guys. Any advice would help. Thanks.
