I dated and was hurt by a LVM. I knew he was LV and I gave him a chance. He was not my type. Short and not very attractive, broke, uneducated, no car, no bank account, and to top it all off I did not like his oral hygiene. Why did I stick around? Because I was lonely. I should have adopted a puppy. I’m still mad I let him into my heart.

I am over him, but the cringe and the anger at myself sometimes get to me. I get asked out on dates a lot. And I have said no to all of them. Thanks to FDS, I see all the red flags right away. I am only talking to one man, he seems great, but my guard is UP.

Will I always be angry with myself? How can I let that shit go? I’m really hoping one day I’ll be able to forgive myself for almost falling into some loser trap. He wanted me to have his baby for Godsakes and I actually thought about it. Yuck!
