What would qualify someone to feel they can date?

I have not met up with a date in years because I feel unqualified Really. I have chronic PTSD and there's no doubt it would be an issue maybe even with some guys. So it makes me feel not qualified to go on dates😟
What other or additional factors might make someone feel they ARE Enough, to be in a relationship?

I don't feel the word "qualify" is anyone should use about themselves with regard to finding love. My last girlfriend, of many years, had chronic PTSD. I never loved her less for this. If anything, it created a vulnerability between us as she knew I would always listen or know with learning her how to be there for her.

@Coralmist Always. I just want to be a friend who can share what I have in story to help those I have experienced in my life. I won't hide, I had to learn her and some stories she shared bruised me, and I don't want to share too much of how I could see her have an episode, where she was entirely lost to her trauma. That's between me and her, doesn't belong on a public forum. That kind of private.

It might be my story from being there with her, but it's always her story first.

I'll share something this way, you will have read the story of mine. There was also a reason how she knew how to be there with my grief and trauma.

I am sure you can find good people who will not be too put off to date you. They may have similar traumas or just be compassionate and understanding. Don't disqualify yourself!

@ThePatientAnarchist Thanks so much. 🪻it's been heart wrenching watching others date and get married for years while I believe I'm not worth it. I really appreciate that 🌺

Sounds like deep state population control. I hope it's exposed soon and we can all start dating again.
