Polls: Dating

I ask this because there's this girl I'm talking to that I met off some app and I guess you could say we're really hitting it off. She wants to be girlfriend and I do like her, but I don't really feel I'm ready to be with anyone again.
She says she'll wait until I'm ready (I didn't tell her to, this is her own choice).

I feel fear in being involved with someone again due to my collective past experiences.

I was actually just looking forward to taking the high road and just staying alone, but should I?

So tell me, have you ever had anyone ever been interested in you that actually like, but were afraid of being with them when they asked you out? It always just feels like a lot of pressure.

(F20/M25) I met her at a bonfire and shortly after I took her virginity. I was her first guy ever. We didn’t date but she drove 2 hrs to see me every weekend for a couple months. We would go out on dates and do freaky stuff like skinny dipping, public sex, and I’d eat her booty. It didn’t work out because we were 2 hrs apart while she was in college, so it’s was doomed from the beginning for multiple obvious reasons.

She ended up meeting some guy with rich parents at her school, and then ghosted me and threw him in my face on her Snapchat stories. He and his friend group took her to Time Square on New Years Eve and then Puerto Rico just a few months later.

She’ll never come back to me after that, and I’d never take her back, but do you think she still thinks about me? Will she always remember me?

Now Dating coaches are someone who helps you navigate through the Dating Market whether it’s for casual dating or long term relationships. Besides the movie Hitch, my knowledge of them is incredibly limited.

Some people view them as incredibly helpful and other view them as a waste of money. How do you feel about their profession?
