I hate the dating apps/dating

I was in a 5 year relationship and found myself being cheated on for a fair amount of time on and off during the relationship. When I found out I kept my dignity and left. I didn’t need to live like that or bring children into it either.

Since then (1.5 years on) as a woman I’ve found dating really hard. Either I meet someone and I like them but for one reason or another it doesn’t work out, or I have to shut my feelings down because they’re not reciprocating so I block them out. Or I just stay away from it entirely because im
scared of liking someone in general. Of course this indicates that i am probably not ready to date. Being single is good in some ways but bad in others.

I just feel a bit confused by the dating scene and while I am getting therapy. I just wonder if others have experienced the same?

The dating app world can be a bit soul destroying at times. I was using apps for a year or so (after ending a q5 year relationship) but having a break from it to work on myself and discover what I like. When i do return to dating, I'm hoping to meet someone in real life as the thought of using dating apps leaves me cold. But I have friends who have met their life love partners online so it's definitely possible.
