I am quite frankly shitting myself!!!

Things have recently got very messy with dds dad, who completely and utterly has destroyed my faith in men and shattered my heart. I genuinely don't know how I'm going to trust anyone again.

But this man is so utterly lovely and seems very genuine. I don't know how I'm not going to sabotage this for myself

please help!

Can only suppose take it easy and don't go over the top too soon. There are good men out there usual problem is finding them there're few and far between:!

Anyways hope it works out for you really do!

I'm in a similar situation where I am currently dating someone lovely after years in an EA relationship. I think the most important thing is to give love a chance again. That's something I didn't plan to do, I was so anti men and relationships. But when I met up with the guy I'm seeing now, he was too nice to not see again. The first time we met I was apparently giving off an 'i hate men' vibe (haha whoops), and after the first date part of me wasn't sure whether to see him again as I wasn't sure how I felt. But as I said, if he's nice and he makes you smile then give him more than one chance. But have your standards high. Know how you want to be treated, and what you won't let slide this time. Most importantly, enjoy yourself!

@meow I've realised after nearly 6 years that my ex was EA too. I couldn't see it at the time, not completely, but its all come to a head of late and I've started to realise just what a bully he was and still is.

I'm just terrified that once he knows me fully he will run a mile!!! I don't like me much so I find it hard to imagine that someone else can
