About six weeks ago I started to casually see a guy (the first in a long time) that I ended up liking a lot. He seemed to be HV in so many ways, and we had a lot of things in common and a lot of chemistry.

Unfortunately on Sunday, I let my personal insecurities get the best of me and I pushed him away before we had the chance turn into anything more. I’m in therapy, I consistently take my medications for depression and anxiety, and my mental emotional and physical health has improved a lot over time and is still improving.

What I’d like to get your thoughts on ladies, is have you ever been in a similar situation and if so, how were you able to learn and grow past doing this sort of thing again?

**For context, my last relationship was a terrible one so I’ve been taking the last two years to work on myself, and am disappointed that despite the healing I’ve done that I still essentially ran away from something that could have been good.

Thoughts? 😔
