why is friends with benifits not you at all? as long as you are clear with what you want you could be happy with everything that comes out of it.
edit. i think of fwb as a best friend who you might get a bit frisky some times. but could draw the line where ever they want to.0 -
You came out of a bad relationship that messed you up mentally so why not therapy? Therapy is not bad and it doesn't make you a bad person for going. It might help you resolve your trust issues so you can date again.0

I think just about everyone here has come to a consensus: You really don't need to be in a relationship right now until you figure out what's really going on inside that head of yours. You're so young so maybe being in a relationship is not necessarily a good thing for you right now until you learn to love yourself first. I also think counseling could help you. Give yourself time to know and love yourself first, then you'll be ready to seek out and love someone who will treat you right the first time.0

Don't worry I know how you feel about being single and all. I know I would love someone in my arms right now but I was in a situation where someone emotionally abused be and at that point I chose to be single than to be with someone that treated me bad. I kept replaying the situation in my head and I got really emotionally sick. So I did seek help. So I would go to therapy. Nothing to get mad or embarrassed about. This way you have a professional to talk about and give you real advice and you get to really talk to someone in detail and really open up about someone and just let go and release all your emotions.0

You're 19 years old. Why are you concerned about a relationship? Focus on your education and there will be plenty of time for a relationship in the future!!

Seeking a relationship for the sake of being in a relationship just sounds like a bad idea to me.
I second that.0 -
I can relate to your situation but from the other side having been hurnt and burnt by what I thought were great relationships until it was clear they weren't. Same story, cant trust, dont want to go through all that again etc..etc....But being on your own for a while lets you have a clear look at yourself and find out what you are about, strengths and weaknesses and so on IMO. Yes, you do miss the companionship and not being able to share moments, thoughts etc but I believe if you go looking for a partner, then the quest may blind you to some of their shortfalls I believe.
Just let life take its course, be true to yourself and your beliefs and what happens will happen. Oh, and the FWB thing...does anyone think they can really just have regular sex with someone and have no emotional attachment really? I know I couldn't...0 -
or has someone complained??? Cos no answers for hours on this page which seems weird..0

Thanks everyone for the advice. I know that I'm young and should be living my life but my last relationship lasted a 1 1/2 years and the one before that lasted 2 1/2 years, so I was used to being in a relationship. As for therapy, I'm not gonna go just yet because I wanna see how everything goes in my head because I have great friends and a family that have been helping me get over it. For the FWB, I would make it out to be too complicated because obviously I would want to get them tested because I don't wanna catch anything and I wouldn't want to fall in love with them if they ever leave me for a new relationship. Thanks everyone :flowerforyou: I got a lot to think about.0
