I have taken a year break from dating and I am starting to think my previous dating issue was actually my fault. There are many factors involved in the dating break but coronavirus was not one of them for me. I met a terrifying sociopath online and was pretty traumatized from that situation. Before that I met the typical crop of LVM online. About 50-100 men. I was very interested in a couple of disgusting ones who were hot/cold charming players. I really tried to properly date but I didn’t yet really get the concept that LVM were not going to magically change into HVM if I did and said all the right things. I actually blamed all my dating problems on me slipping up. I would then keep dating them and hoping they would treat me how they did before I slipped up and ruined things. I see the posts other women on FDS make where they are still giving men chances and replying to texts they are above. I think it’s possible I was having such awful dating problems before because I was simply oblivious to this stuff. I am considering dating again. I am not sure I want to yet but I feel like I am so different mentally now that I cannot imagine attracting the same LVM. Did anyone notice when you got to a different place mentally because of FDS that now the men you attracted were higher?
