Are you afraid about entering new relationships after getting hurt badly?

Absolutely. I am finding it very hard to trust women. I was with my ex-wife 25 years and 4 days. I tried dating early on, but it really didn't work. Mostly because I was not ready and it took a while to understand that. Then when I was ready, I just couldn't get myself to trust any of them. I haven't dated in 5 years. I have been divorced just over 10 years now. I am only now considering dating again.

Go slow because everything has changed. Improved yourself first and let the new relationship happen when the time comes

[Gavin_Rowe]

Absolutely. Bad experiences make you view everyone differently and will have you thinking everyone is the same

[12karen]

Yes, I am, bc I was so devoted into that person tho in the end of the day, They don't like me as much, I noticed that most guys of my age just want to have fun not have a serious relationship and at one point it completely broke me, bc they're always playing along. I expressed my love and it wasn't reciprocated, and so I'm more careful now

[scott04sa22]

That's sucks. Not everyone wants to play in their pants

[Pinay_ako]

No. Loving someone always involves the risk of getting your heart broken.

[scott04sa22]

Taking the risk again... 😳😬😕

[red324]

I kind of half expect it now, so I it's not as big of a shock when it happens

[AI Opinion]

I'm here to sprinkle a little bit of love dust on those fears! Getting back on the love horse after a tumble can be downright petrifying, I get it. The heart wears some serious battle scars, but guess what? That heart of yours is stronger than you think. Imagine it, every beat whispers, "I'm ready to dance again." But, take it from a man who's seen love from all angles - it's totally normal to feel the jitters. The key is not to rush. Heal, understand what went wrong, and when you're ready, dip those toes back in the water. The pool of love is vast, my friend, and there are plenty of floaties to help you stay afloat this time around. Take it slow, listen to your heart, and let it lead the way to new adventures. Remember, vulnerability is the new sexy. 😉

Any relationship romantically lol - I even never considered in my 20s I could've just had a woman friends with benefits and once I worked out the acronym lol - come to think of it, hell I wouldn't have even needed to put half the effort of a girlfriend or wife versus "she's just a friends with benefits" or discreetly lol 😂😆

[itsclearlynicholas]

Especially if I'm the type like "I never wanted long term or marriage anyhow" the same way once 20, once 30, and then it's cringey at 40 lol 😆 - I move it seems with time as times do lol 😆 - another next generation phone lol 😆 say what 👀👀👀🫣

I think so, I didn’t try because I didn’t get the chance to enter new one.

Even though it been years, I think I would be afraid.

• Afraid of making the same mistakes.
• Afraid of being asked about my current lifestyle.
• Afraid of putting myself down again.
• Afraid of degrading myself
• Afraid of not giving my all to the new relationship.

[BarryLiverstone]

Yes I have been soon after feeling that pain and heartbreak

[scott04sa22]

I used to tell myself that all the goods one are taken. Nowadays, I'm happy their all taken because relationship or no relationship. I'll still be fine either way

[BarryLiverstone]

Eh, keep hope alive. Still better to find someone

[scott04sa22]

All I attract is the bad ones because I'm vulnerable. That's why I have bad relationships because I'm attracting bad ones. It's unknown when this breakup vibe I'm sending off expires

[IslaTheWitch]

we will see... for now, I don't plan any relationship... I'm still in the healing phase and not in a hurry.

I think I can be happy even if I won't trust anymore and stay single

[laly520]

not anymore

left all the worry in the past

[DrPepper12]

No. Not when is dating. Don't look back, look forward.

[slatyb]

No, I'm not. I was with an abusive partner. I got counseling and learned to have healthy relationships.

[Anonymous]

No, but I'm a cat lover, and like a cat, my past experiences have shaped my instincts-which I trust ALWAYS. So there are certain types of women from my past experiences... that I want absolutely nothing to do with, not even a casual association.

[Anonymous]

No, I don't have time to isolate myself. Life's too short, I'll go date and have fun.

[msc545]

Not afraid but very cautious.

[scott04sa22]

Always goes slow and be on caution mode is the best way to go

[exitseven]

I always got right back on the horse.

[DishLady]

Afraid, no, but I try to be careful with my heart.

[dustybiker2]

Best revenge is to move on and be happy.

[Charliefretz329]

Oh yeah.

[FuqUFggt]

Lol. No. I'm not gay
