I had a really messy & horrific break up from someone after a emotionally manipulative relationship.

Ended about 2 months ago.

Wasn't even contemplating looking to meet anyone else.
But I have. Complete oposite to the last guy I was with.

Have arranged to go for a drink at the weekend.

He's so different from my ex in all the right ways & feels so strange being attracted to soneone after all this time. Never thought id fancy anyone else again. Funnyhow these things happen.


Soooo scared I'm going to screw it up though! Act cool chocolate... just act cool.

I'm so pathetic aren't I? Haha

Not pathetic at all - but try to just see it as a bit of fun. It's not a big deal (yet?!) but just a fun, casual night out with a nice guy. Good luck :).

Why would you be pathetic? You are just excited and so you should be. Good luck ,just take it slow and steady....and watch out for any red flags etc

I agree - just think of it as a bit of fun, getting back into the dating scene. Slow, steady, go with the flow and try not to overthink. Just enjoy whatever will be.

Ooo I'm well onto the red flags. I knew my ex wasn't a good idea right from the get go, think I just wanted someone, anyone to find me attractive right then

He seems lovely. Really genuine guy.
Just shocked that I actually fancy someone I think. Wasn't expecting to for a long old time.

Ooooo! Have you planned your outfit yet?

I broke up from the man that I still believe was the love of my life last July. It very nearly broke me in two.

I was absolutely adamant that I didn't want to meet anyone else and then all of a sudden, in January, I met a man who lives about 20 doors down the road! He's lovely. Lots of fun, very sharp, makes me laugh like a drain, and is as fit as fuck

I am not lookimnggfor a big relationship. Or marriage. Or any of that schizzle. But bloody hell I'm having fun and that's just perfect for right now

Have a lovely time. Try and relax and enjoy. And let us know how you get on!
