Sorry, sorry, sorry. Firstly I've not got kids yet, and I'm not in a position to have them for a while but I've had good advice about things on here before so sorry if I seem a fraud.

OK, last year I got my first job, and went to a works party where I met someone who worked in my department. We hit it off and saw each other for about 6 weeks before he dumped me by voicemail. He was 28, I was 18, I'm 19 now. I also wanted out so THAT wasn't a big deal. He had anger issues according to others, and turns out he was a compulsive liar so hey, better off without him, right?

Anyway, I met him on April 16th, so it's getting close to a year, broke up with him mid May. But, since him, I've not been...I dunno, my friends all still get crushes etc and I just feel nothing. I was bullied for years by lads so that didn't help.

Please give me good thoughts to get through these couple of months, this guy was my first and only boyfriend.

I'm sorry but I am not sure what you are really asking.

This is going to sound really old to you.. but I'm going to say it anyway.
your 19.. take the opportunities life throws at you, travel, have a great time in your life and don't worry about men... it will all come ..

LV I think you're feeling like it's all over for you for dating and relationships, which is entirely understandable at your age and with your experience. (i.e. it isn't all over at all but at 19 how could you reasonably be expected to know that?).

What I would try and do is not worry about it at all. There are loads of great things about being young, free and single, why not enjoy those and just see what happens as time goes on?

The bullying thing sounds awful, do you want to say more about it? If not, it might be worth talking to someone you trust about it. I'm sure you know on one level that all boys aren't bullies but the two things clearly have a connection in your mind.

Keep the thought that you had a very lucky escape.

Six weeks really isn't long enough to get to know anyone.

Go out, have fun and try and meet lads your own age.
