Guys: would you date a girl who had been raped in the past?

About a year ago I was raped. I' now getting more comfortable and the emotional wounds are starting to heal. I feel like I may be ready to give dating a try. I'm just not sure any guy is going to want to date damaged goods. Would you?

  • when it comes to dating you or not, that wouldn't matter at all ...

    however since I wouldn't want you to feel bad, I'd want to know how far I might go ... if I wouldn't know, I might unknowingly do or say something that would hurt you physically or emotionally and break up old wounds. It's very important for me to make my partner happy, to get her what she want's. In this special case I'd also try to avoid everything that could make you feel helpless or dominated, although some girls would want exactly that. if you would want that, I'd be fine with it, but I'd want to hear that from you in advance, or it's not going to happen. I'd be way to afraid too hurt you, and if I'd learn that afterward, because I would have actually hurt you, I'd feel horrible about it.

  • My first girlfriend ever, told me she was raped in the past, 6 months later into our relationship.

    I did not have a problem with it, it got me closer to her.

    The only thing I dealt with was her being uncomfortable if I put my hands around her neck. I guess this brought memories back or something.

  • I would (date a guy who'd been, that is, which is more taboo) and my boyfriend would date a girl who was raped.

  • Of course. It's not like she had any control over the situation. And besides, that was all in the past. As long as she's able to move forward and not hate on guys just because of one really bad experience, then I'm willing to give her a chance.

  • Yes I would. What would matter more to me is for her to feel comfortable dating and everything else with me first. It takes quite some time to recover from something like that. I would just want to be sure that she is still capable of fully loving me emotionally after experiencing that. She may not feel comfortable in the sexual area for quite some time, but it's important to me that she feels comfortable in the relationship and commitment area.

    I'm glad you are feeling better these days.

  • Of course I would.

  • Yes , why not.

  • no

  • yes, and I'm sorry that happened to you.

  • yes, why wouldn't they

  • Yes.

  • i don't think guys will not want to date you. I'm sorry that happened to you

    • Why do you think that?

    • why would that be a reason not to date her?

  • it shouldn't be a problem. a mature sensible guy would not hesitate to date you. it may be something that he can help you overcome and he will be happy to help you feel better again.

  • Yeah I would

  • I'm so sorry that happened to you. I would not hesitate to date a girl who had been raped. It's not a factor for me. All that's important is who she is.

  • If you were actually raped, sure. If you screwed a guy and feared you were pregnant and cried rape so your parents wouldn't get mad at you, no. False rape claims happen far too often, and it's the lowest possible thing that someone can do to another. It ruins peoples lives. I am very sorry that you were raped and I hope that you will not be scared from this event forever. God bless you.

  • If she was mentally stable, it wouldn't be a deal-breaker.

  • Of course I would. It wasn't your fault that happened to you, so why should you be starved of a relationship as a result? I am sorry that happened to you and hope that you find someone great.
