It is always hard to start over again when it comes to dating. IT might sound funny coming from someone younger, but trust me, when I say i've been where you are..

First of all you have to know and be sure that you can trust someone else again. If you can trust (but not be gullable) then you can definitely begin to date.

After ending a long relationship, many women at times think twice about dating because of fear, but to be honest, there is really nothing to fear about going out by yourself or with some friends and just having a good time. And just so you know, its a little secret from others that if you go to the right places, you can actually find men who are just as afraid of dating as you are, who are in the exact same place except that they are men.

So dont be afraid, everyone has been there, and everyone has had their doubts. Hope this helps!
