Challenged in Dating

I'd say your doing find by not dating.

Tell people you want to learn to live on your own before you make a commitment to another marriage relationship. O a modification of this is that you have somethings you need to do on your own before you start dating again.

I can sympathize with how you feel, I am similar in that when I am committed to someone, I don't know how to give all of me. I don't want to ever go through that kind of misery again, but eventually there has to come a point to where the satisfaction that you feel with not dating is really just some type of pseudo-coping mechanism to shield yourself from pain. I hate rushing into things as well, and it can be very deceptive when you meet someone and everything just "clicks", sometimes I have handled this well, and other times, not so well.

What would probably be perfect for you is a single's group at a church that has good fellowship and activities where you could just have some fun. Hopefully you can find one without any kind of dating pressure. There is always a chance that some "friend" you meet in that type of situation might turn out to be something more.
I never met anyone at my single's group, but I really enjoyed the fellowship. I did a lot of dating after my divorce and had a lot of disappointment and heartbreak. About 8 months ago after some more disappointment and some unbelievable lies I was done with online dating and ready to just have some friends and put my husband search on hold. I reconnected with an online friend so I could do some motorcycle rides and my friend became my fiance. No heartbreak, questions, drama between us or arguments. Unbelievable.
