Hi everyone,
I just "completed" 2 relationships that didn't work out over the last few months (not both at once.) I'm going to breakfast with a very decent guy tomorrow. I'm mostly just feeling burnt out from the last 2 but I don't want to allow that to keep me from a possibly healthy relationship. Sometimes I think it's easier to be alone, but I want more in life. I want to connect in a healthy way with someone. I learned a lot from the last 2: try not to let go of "Me" and my own life, my goals, my plans. To reveal a little at a time when my comfort develops, to not have sex too early, to not say I love you when I don't mean it. Any more words of wisdom? It would be greatly appreciated. I could really use some.

I really like the ideas you have already, I had to learn those lessons too.

A big turning point for me was to seriously down deep believe that I'd much rather be alone than in an unhealthy relationship. For me this meant a long stretch of being alone and building my self esteem. Believe in yourself, believe that you are worthy of a great relationship, and don't settle for anything else.

Good luck!

Thanks CedarS, What you said helped a lot. I wish you the best also.
