It sounds like you may think a little like myself. When you meet someone they can be perfect. Everything about them, their personality, their attitude, their looks, its all just perfect.

I kept overthinking our relationship and tried to figure out what I had done wrong. Needless to say I ended up in counseling because of how messed up I had gotten myself. I wouldn't let anyone near me, including family and friends, for fear I was going to be hurt. Counseling helped, and I started to get turned around. I still stayed FAR away from the dating pool, just because. Finally, yesterday after two and a half years I went on a date. I was so nice just to get out and have fun. I am looking forward to our next date. smile
