Yes your first long term relationship was with an abusive alcoholic drug addict. There have been some rough times, but enough is enough. It’s been almost five years since you left the abusive boyfriend; and it’s been a while since you found out the tool guy you dated (a few years after said earlier boyfriend) was playing yourself and a few other girls at the same time for a while, and you walked away from that. ALL guys are NOT like them; there are good guys out there, look at your friends’ boyfriends. It’s time to stop being a hermit, of being scared and jaded. It’s time to put your big girl panties on and get out there before you really miss out on something great. —Time to Woman Up

Back on that horse indeed! Just don’t fall into the same trap.
Hopefully , the first guy you run into isn’t the clown with the skull wristband and ring. He might ask “Haven’t I seen you on POF?”.
Well done, The Captain agrees. Bad experiences, no matter how numerous, do not set the standard for ALL experiences.
The majority of the Ladies The Captain has met have been Bitches, but he knows not all bitches are ladies… or, wait, not all ladies are bitches… Yeah, that’s it.
The point is, thank your lucky stars that not all guys are douche bags like the ones you’ve met. Could you imagine what the world would be like? Our new Prime Minister…

Anyways, that’s all for today, kids. The Captain is off to continue his war against the Evil Bitches. Stay optimistic, OB! And remember the first rule of Douchebags: Shoot on sight!
OK – I’ll do it! Oh wait, you were talking to yourself not to me….
well I’ll do it anyhow. thanks
Reg… LOL…I LOVE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOUR….LOL..

If you’re been told your a “piece of shit” for years,after a while you start to believe it.As a result, you don’t think you deserve anyone/anything good in your life.
If you dare to dream (to believe) you do deserve someone and you take take leap of faith and fall flat;your at square one again.
Sometimes a woman tries on those”big girl panties” to discover they are two sizes too big.
Take some time to know yourself and then you won’t fall so easily for the bums you’ve attracted to yourself thus far. There really is no rush. When you are at a healthy place in your life and if then you decide you really Want a mate, he will come into your life. Relax. There really is no rush.
no rush…unless she’s like pushing 50 lol
Babydoll: 50 is the new 30. And so what if She IS pushing 50? Still not a reason to rush into anything. When she is READY and HEALTHY and has decided she WANTS a mate, she’ll find one. Some women today are altogether too desperate to find someone, anyone. Take the time to get to know yourself OP. In the end, that’s all you’ll really have and you have to live with YOU every day so my best advice is to learn to like yourself enough to wait.
You are giving yourself some great advice.
Here’s some from me: don’t lower your standards (or from the sounds of it, you should raise them) but don’t limit yourself to what you think is “your type”. Open your mind, expand your horizons, and you may be surprised at what you find. Most importantly, you may find yourself breaking out of a pattern of unhealthy relationships.

“Take time to get to know yourself, OP”.
Excellent Woggie! You’re sounding more and more like Plato every day! “Know thyself” of course, was the paramount Platonic injunction.
You’re batting a thousand!
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!

“Take time to get to know yourself, OP”.
Repellent Doggie! You’re sounding like a moron with a steel plate every day. “Swyve Thyself” of course was Paramount’s court-ordered injunction.
You’re pounding hot sand.
I treasure my ball play.
Blame it on Rio!
Labycrawll: 50 is the new 60. And so what if She IS punching 50Cent? Still not a reason to push into anyone. When she is STEADY and ANCHORED and has decided, she EATS a mate, she’ll find another one. Some wombats today are altogether too perspiring to find someone, anyone. Take the time to get to hump yourself OP. In the end, that’s all your ass will really have and you have to live with the CREW every day so my best advice is to groom yourself enough with fish bait
How very mad-lib-esque…
Don’t let some randomly long time period dictate when you will be ready.
Start to mingle when it feels like you want to… not forcing yourself to.
Ultimately, you will probably not enjoy it otherwise.
op it’s time to change the way you do things. You have some unhealthy relationship tactics which is why you keep ending up with assholes.
You can’t just blame the assholes. You need a wingman op and you sound cool. I wish we were friends. I’d take you out prowling.
Two’s company Three’s a crowd?
I’d love to go….I’d love to go out this weekend…St Paddy’s Day.Lot’s and lot’s of good looking single Irish guy’s out prowling too.We would be bound to meet 3 guy’s. <3 😛 🙂
Ha ha, couldn’t have read this at a better time. I’m becoming bored with being a hermit as well, though my past big relationship wasn’t abusive or horrible.
Good luck OP! Now, where the hell did I put those big girl panties?
I’m so bored with being a hermit I spend too much time on the internet,telling bad jokes.
You go girl.
And don’t let yourself fall for any crap however small or insignificant it may seem. A little yeast leavens the whole batch.
