Got out of a 1.5 year long relationship about a month ago... I want to focus on myself and make myself a priority but also want to just go on some fun dates, how do I strike that balance? A side note I also don’t know how to begin with the dating scene...

Making yourself a priority and going on fun dates don’t have to conflict! Do both! Just make sure you’re approaching the dates with a mindset of “this is for me, and I’m meeting someone new and having fun,” and not “I must be in a relationship and have to put myself out there” - then it becomes about others and the guy, and not yourself

As someone who had similar situation, just don’t over do it with dates, what I mean, don’t jam pack your week with them. Balance out with 1 or 2 dates a week and have activities for yourself.

I am on the same boat! I haven’t started dating because I’m just not comfortable yet Bc of COVID. However, my mentality is just to have fun meeting new people and not really going out there to find a relationship

Asian women help? I realized my lovely parents have been emotionally abusing me because I’m single. I’ve dated a few people despite not liking them but eventually those people treated me poorly and I almost had anxiety attacks when I turned 33 this year. Parents are great but this is one area which I think they’ve overstepped. I told them recently that in addition to the bad men I date, they are giving me pain and I can’t take it. They said I’m being selfish and speaking therapist lingo. Feel 😭
