The Dating Game

Entering the “dating game” again after being hurt is not easy. The last time I was in a relationship my boyfriend told me he was HIV positive. What’s even more F up is when I found out that I was HIV positive, and I got it from him. I felt so disrespected, misused, and scared.

So now I have a fear of being hurt again. When people approach me asking to go out with me, I am hesitant. I don’t know what to expect other than being hurt at some point. I am cautious because I am unsure of who to trust. During my childhood, I was taken advantage of because of my kindness. It's my nature to give people my last and they aren't ever appreciative.  Now in my dating life I am being taken advantage of. People are disrespecting me because I am not a fighter. So when people put their hands on me I cry and run away.

Dating is so scary because there are so many people that can hurt me. You can’t judge a book by its cover. You can’t tell if somebody will treat you the right way by just looking at them. To build trust I have to let my past go and move on with my life. I have to find people that I can open up to without the fear of being hurt. I have to face my fears and suck it up and be myself. Maybe for now I should forget about a relationship and maybe focus on friends with benefits.

People will come and go in your life, some will throw you curve balls and it’s up to you to swerve and make the best out of what is happening in your life. Life will bring you down and life will lift you up. You can’t let events slow you down. No matter what happens strive for the best.

For Beyond the Odds, I'm Mr. Maximus.

Every one admits that today's life is high priced, however we need money for different issues and not every man gets big sums cash. So to receive some loan or just short term loan should be good solution.

Trust
written by Ian at Daydream Dating, October 30, 2009
Without trust there can be no closeness. Admittedly not everyone is trustworthy, but many are. If you exude untrustingness yourself it will be harder for others to trust you so I suggest you try trusting people by default rather than not until they are proven untrustworthy ... if that makes sense!
