What to reply when a guy asks me.....

When was your last relationship?

I've never had a long term relationship. I did a couple casual dates twenty years ago and developed PTSD soon after, and became severely anxious even thinking about love or dating. Due to feeling less than others, because of my chronic PTSD. I don't feel like a catch on any level. So I avoid dating.

I'm really trying to heal this. Decades of no affection or love or companionship has really made me scared even more, that any guy will think I'm weird or I'm a red flag. It's heartbreaking inside to always feel not enough.
So I m not sure how to respond when a guy asks, When was your last relationship? 🥺😟

@SomeMichGuy I appreciate your gracious words🌸 I feel unworthy because I can't offer a lot of excitement or doing lots of social activities together. I know dating is a good part of that. Who will want someone who has to decline many things? The pool of guys that would accept that and me is small. But maybe by some miracle I'll find someone in that pool. Ty for saying the world needs me 💜

@SomeMichGuy Thank you, your thoughts mean a lot .🌟

Just be honest. It’s a good way to weed out those that aren’t on your level and won’t stick around when things get tough. The right person will appreciate your openness.
I only said to someone today that you don’t get to be single at our age without some sort of relationship trauma or baggage.

@phoenixrising I wish you the same my friend 🌹
First of all that is not a question I would have asked someone until I knew her quite well. It seems very nosy.
But if you are asked and you trust the guy enough to answer, I would just be honest about it. I think I've mentioned before that being your first serious boyfriend could be a turn-on for the right man.

be yourself. be honest. You are not alone. Many others struggle with intimacy. There is someone out there for you if you look and open up a little.

Coral just tell them what you told us. You are good person worthy of being loved. You know it. The type of person you actually need will understand.

@Gibbon Ty so much 🌼
Gibbon · 70-79, M
@Coralmist You're so welcome. Don't be afraid. Just be honest and keep it open. Trust your instincts.

Honesty is always best.

Unless it causes harm, of course. And some things are best kept secret.

I do not know. If things develop he will likely learn, anyway. And he is with you so what came before should not matter. Clean slate.

Just tell him that because of health reasons, you never really pursued a long term relationship. He doesn't know you well enough to expect detailed info

@chuck7882 That's true, thanks 🍁

Be honest about your life.
I only had a teen relationship, nothing serious and I'm not ashamed to say it aloud at all.
Just be honest. "A few casual things here or there, but nothing serious." Then ask him the same.

@Coralmist I do what I can 😈

Pray Ms. Coral...

Pray this prayer

Abba, as I come before you I bind the Spirit of heaviness according to Matthew 18:18 and loose the garment of praise oil of joy and comfort.
I choose to uproot every root from my life and plant the seeds of the Word that keeps me free.
In Jesus's mighty name I pray
Amen

Just tell them what you told us

Say I don’t date a lot.

Be honest, but brief.
Nobody needs a whole book when a chapter will do.

You gotta love the truth. Less to remember.
