So just as the title states I want to dip my toe back in the dating pool, my friend is and I kinda don’t want to be left behind, but there’s a tom of stuff stopping me or holding me back, not the least of them being oh so very shy. But that’s not my biggest concern. I don’t want a repeat of the last (horrible) relationship I have, I worry that that will be all that I think about, that I will not have been ready to take a step forward and just crumble again. Besides...why would anyone want to date me, I come with tons of baggages, I’m not attractive or interesting and heaven forbid they find out what happened with my ex. I feel like all I’d be at that point is used or damaged goods. I know that probably just sounds like a lot if whining so feel free to roll on if you want.
