scared to date

    Hi all,

    I'm 27, my last long term relationship was 6 years ago, during those 6 years I was casually involved with someone who could not commit and told me he wouldn't yet we continued to sleep together, causing heartbreak for me over the years.

    Recently I have reconnected with an old school friend, he has admitted his feelings for me and has messaged to arrange a date, I fancy him but I'm scared to date!

    How do I get over this!? I don't want to miss out anymore of dating or giving new people a chance.

    Thanks

    Go on the bloody date!!! You have been just asked on a date by someone who clearly likes you, right out of the blue. He has literally fallen into your lap! You will be fine :)

    Is there any particular reason you feel scared? What is it that you are afraid of?

    If that's case, just go on the date, and enjoy yourself. If nothing comes of it, so be it. But it sounds like he really likes you and you'd be mad to waste that opportunity if you like him. You have literally nothing to gain by not going.

    I completely understand being scared or apprehensive to go on a date, especially after a hiatus... but it doesn't sound to me like you're too scared to go.

    The other side of it is, you know exactly how you are going to feel if you don't go. So spare yourself the trouble, and go on the date!

    Best of luck, and I hope you have a ball :)
