Gaurded from potential partners. Sometimes I can be a little too hopeful.Hmmm... Guarded how, though? Do you have friends or family that you can allow yourself to drop your guard to?
Sorry to change the subject; it's just something that pertains to a situation. I find myself in these days as well.
Hopeful.Too hopeful or helpful? I'm unsure if auto-correct changed your post.

I completely understand and agree. But I know myself well enough to know that I must guard my heart while getting to know someone. I feel a lot. I'm extremely empathetic and have had many many bad experiences with all types of guys and am just waiting on the right one. The one that will make all the lessons learned and hurt feelings all worth it because I ended up meeting him.Sometimes it’s hard to see God’s hand in our affairs. I recall someone I dated years ago. We parted and I felt sad. I asked for prayer and the intercessor said, “God put that away.” She was right.
We see in part and know in part but He sees all. It takes a long time to know someone. To understand their bones. We need the Lord’s input in our connections. The heart can be blind and misled. I’ve been on both sides of that statement.
The desire to hide or shut down seems right. But we’re harming ourselves and diminishing our loveliness. It is easier to build a wall than tear it down. Many become their own jailers unintentionally.
It is better to heal and learn from our experiences. That’s the harder road but it yields better spoils than the alternative.
