Hello, everyone! So, I wrote a post here the other day because I think I may have a crush on someone and don't know how to advance and if she's even interested (which you can find here: http://www.loveshack.org/forums/transitioning/search/519528-don-t-know-if-she-s-interested).

 

Anyway, I realized my problem may be harder and deeper than that. I was in a relationship for 4 years, which ended because my girlfriend left me for another guy. Of course, this really affected me and made me lose all my confidence. It took me almost 2 years to feel like I need to get back into dating, you know? And now there's this girl I would really like to hang out with and get to know better, but I lack the confidence to do so, afraid of getting rejected.

 

I really needed to vent (it felt great!) and would love to get some comprehension from you guys, because I feel really lame for not getting involved with someone for so long... Any advices for how I can get back into the dating game would also be great.

To borrow a sports metaphor: You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

 

Even if she says No Thank You, you will still feel OK about yourself because you worked up the courage to try.
