i know how you feel cuase i maybe just getting out of that right now...\n\nsee i haven't had a real boyfriend for almost 2 years  and about two weeks ago i asked a guy that is a grade younger out, he said yes becuase i knew he really liked me.. we went out for a week then i said i am just a lil over welmed by the feeling and just need to take a lil break.. after a while he started talking to my friends and practically the whoiole school found out we liked each other and now everyone considers us to be dating...  and we just kinda go with everyone cuase everyone else thinks it is great now im not so overwelmed with the feeling... i think the overwelming i use to feel was that i was afraid of being heartbroken again.\n\ndon't worry you will grow out of the feeling a lil while after you begin dating.. depending on however your emotions work..\n\nnothing to really worry about

If you're scared, you need to tell your boyfriend.  It could be your body's way of telling you that you're not ready just yet.  It's okay to be nervous and scared.

It sounds like you are scared that what happened with your one boyfriend may happen with the next guy you fall for.  So take a moment step back and don't rush in to anything with anyone.  If you can manage it even take some time off for yourself and enjoy life.  Hang out with your friends or even your family and let your mind clear up.  Give it time and if you meet someone take it slow and let things mature and if it works out then great.  Otherwise if you do go out with a guy make sure to let them know that right now you are not looking for anything serious but are great with being friends first.  \n\nEither way don't rush it as fate (if you believe in it) will drop a bomb on you and next thing you know you are dating.

Hey.. you sound so sweet! \n\nSometimes you need to step out of your comfort zone and face your true fears. If you dont your not really going to grow and develop.\n\nI really dont see what options you have in this situation. Be confident, relax and have fun and people will want to be around you.\n\nGood luck

You are scared because you know your mother is right. You are confused. You should not be thinking of such things at your age. You are young and confused. Stop what you are doing and get more education. Wait to make those kinds of decisions when you are an adult.\n\nYou really need to pray about this.\nG.G.

Many people get scared cause it is a big step.  Step back from it all for a short time and take a break from planning or any wedding activity you are involved in and stop thinking about it.  Nervousness and being scared are natural and it is a very trying time but you will find that if you truely love this person you will be okay it will all work out.  If you are having doubts then you shouldnt go through with it but if you are just scared because its so overwhelming then you just need to take time to breathe and gather yourself and see that this is the person you want to be with and it will all work out.

You can take some of the pressure and feelings away by giving yourself a break. Realize that no one is the ultimate dream date for everyone , this helps. Good relationships seem to appear most often when your not trying so hard to find them . You'll instinctively know when the right girl comes along just be out in the field where you may encounter them and don't stay home for fear of rejection and feel so bad that you have these feelings they are not so unusual and it seems you are pressuring yourself to have an instant relationship and it just doesn't happen that way. Lighten up and enjoy yourself and try to forget about these feelings and your chances will improve. Be confident in yourself and like I said there is no perfect person desired by all . There will be a girl who will come along when you stop looking and dwelling on it so much. Good luck to you , she's out there you can believe in that.

If you don't feel ready to date then don't.  When me and my ex broke up about 2 years ago (we've been together for a year)  I didn't want to date anyone for a year...and I didn't date anyone.  It's up to when you think you are ready to date again.  It's different with different people.  Some people heal faster than others.  But in the mean time you should keep busy.  Do things that you like to do.  After we broke up, I did a lot of volunteering.  That made me feel good because I was helping ones in need and it made me realize that things could be a lot worse than breaking up with a boy/girlfriend.  So just find things you like to do and keep your good friends around because they can be a great help as well.  Most importantly don't date until you are ready.  Don't let your boys pressure you into dating because that could make the your situation worse.  Well I hoped that helped.

First off I know what your talking about with this one, believe me. The honest best advice I give you is not to take out your past experiences on other people. Not everyone is the same believe it or not, I know it sux when you get burned......watch people get burned......etc but if you keep onletting your fears get in the way... YOU WON"T EVER BE HAPPY!!!!! that's the honest truth...work through your fears and be specific on the type of people you date lol

Forlorn,  why would this be scary? What is scary is dating someone you don't know, then find out that they are a rapist, child molestor, serial killer, etc when it's too late. Or you find out, when it's too late, that there are other things on their records that you wish you had known. In this day and age, I would definitely want to check up on someone I met and was wanting to date. I just couldn't do it because it always cost money. \n\nThanks for the website of where to go to get this information for free!

Oh, you sound adorable!  Yes, I think this is a confidence issue.  Number one:  do not start dating again right away.  Rebounds do not help self-esteem.  It just makes you dependent on a girl's attention for self-love.  What I do is focus on the love that's already in my life, from friends and family members.  I just try to go out and have fun.  Pretty soon, I realize I'm having fun without a romantic interest.  And then, I become braver in approaching people, because their rejection isn't such a big deal.  I can do fine without them.  And don't look at other women as potential dates.  Look at them as potential friends.  Eventually, you'll find one you want to date and who will help you out of your shell.  But good luck and don't worry about it too much.  This girl isn't worth your time or worry.

That's been an ongoing problem that I've struggled with, but in the last month, I've realized that I like guys that are already in relationships because I subconsciously know that I'm not ready for a serious relationship. I know that's not always the case, but you might want to think about that :)

Hey congradulations!!!!  Really.  Do you want to start dating right now.  If you do, go, go, and get going.  Okay.  Feel good about your decision and move along.\n\nYou are young.  If you feel sad and aren't interested in anyone right now, that's cool too.\n\nEnjoy your life,\nluv Ava

Asking someone out at this time (or any time) in your life can be pretty scary. Playing games with your friends where you make a bet or dare someone to ask someone out is a common way to get through the immobilizing fear that goes along with letting someone know you are interested in getting to know them.\n\nThere is nothing wrong with this. Dating and courtship should be fun. But not at someone else's expense. Be sure that you aren't participating in games which involve hurting other people's feelings.\n\nIf you like someone, cherish that nervous feeling you get when you summon the courage to ask them out. Even if you are rejected or get embarassed, you will be giving yourself terrific experiences as well as important practice. Right now, dating is simple and fun. You have nothing to lose. The day will come when you will be interested in a very serious relationship and without getting to know what kind of risks you can take now, you might miss a truly important opportunity in the future.\n\nBe safe, smart, and have fun!

my best advice would be to just go out on a date...it doesn't have to be with someone you're attracted to if that's easier...maybe a male friend...someone you know will me nice to you...so you can see how it should be.  Maybe meeting someone someplace like church would help...or a group in your area for people who've had abuse in their lives.
