Are You Afraid To Date Again? 7 Strategies For Getting Back Out There
This week's question comes from Tami:
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
I have not been in a real relationship in over 20 years and I’m really afraid to date again.
My personality takes a while to unfold with new people (I'm an introvert), so in today's speed dating kind of world, I feel quite lost and afraid to get out there.
I've had a few coffee dates that don't go anywhere and based on my past history, I don't really trust myself to meet anyone decent anyway. How do I get the confidence to even try? I find it's just easier to be happy with me & my cats.
