PinkIsLove93 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I've been single for nearly 3 months but only recently started a strict NC with my ex after he kept reaching out to me, just as 'friends'. The thing that really worries me is that I cannot imagine dating again!? Infact, the very thought of it makes me feel completely sick. Its really been bothering me the last few days because I know its likely that my ex will probably start dating soon. I feel so upset and anxious! Is it normal to not want to date after you're very first relationship ends?
Tulipsgold Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 I guess it is perfectly normal. Three months is nothing. Take your time, let yourself heal. I find myself not having trouble with the actual dating, I've always liked that. I'm just so scared that I will never really find someone who made me feel the way he did. Who somehow without even noticing it, I fell for. And who I finally really liked. (He was my first real BF) I guess when we have these thoughts still stuck in our heads, we aren't really ready to date yet, cause we still have so much more healing to do.
MissTrudy Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 this is how i feel right now. this is how i felt after i broke up with my first serious boyfriend. from experience i can say that it does go away, but it takes time to fully heal. ultimately what helped with my first relationship was dating again, but right now i am not at that place yet. hang in there.
John83 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I understand how you feel. Even knowing ex already has moved on i still feel even thinking of dating is a betrayal to my kids and what was my family.
