travelcrzy Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) I'm looking for a little advice from those more experienced in the dating arena than I am. Just became an empty nestor this month. I only dated a couple of times (less than 6 dates) in the last 19 years. Alot of reasons - most prevalent was I came out of a very abusive relationship and didn't trust my instincts when it came to men. I have tried internet dating sites but I am much better with face to face conversations as opposed to writing via email. My last attempt at meeting someone online didn't go very well. Although he didn't come right out and say it - but the fact I haven't dated in so long was a concern. I am a pretty strong independent woman - but a little gunshy on the dating scene so this last encounter has made me a little hesitant to move forward. I am proud I wasn't a single parent with multiple partners coming in and out of the house while my son grew up. He is in a great college - pre-med and running track at the college level. I know I did something right. But I am really struggling with self-esteem when it comes to dating. Edited August 31, 2010 by travelcrzy
