Search Results: scared to date

I am 27 and never had a real girlfriend.

I am in deep depression. I had to go to the hospital 2 nights ago. I was handcuffed and taken to the hospital by the sheriff's department. I was in bad shape.

Back in 2020, I had an online thing with this girl. She was exactly what I was looking for. She never had a male friend before she met me, and she never dated ot had a boyfriend. She never kissed and was still a virgin. Things were going well for several months until we met the first time in person. She rejected me because I wasn't her type.

Now, she is about to marry some other guy soon, and he gets to be her first everything. I am almost sick to my stomach thinking about it. It is extremely heartbreaking to me.

The thing is, I want to find another girl just like her. I don't know if that was my one and only chance. I feel like dating 18 year olds is about to become off limits to me. I am getting really scared. I cannot even sleep in peace at night, because I dream about her still.

I am guessing that if you have dated very much, either you have done this to someone or you have had it done to you. And if you were on the receiving end, it probably felt like you were being suffocated.

Have you ever pushed away a prospective partner by being clingy, too demanding, too possessive. . . too soon?
