Do not date if you are afraid of commitment
I don't know how many times I have come across men who have been hurt in the past and want to take things slow and make excuses for why they can't be exclusive. Or write about dating being difficult but how at the same time they are afraid to commit as they might get hurt.
Everytime you jump into something, there is a chance of getting hurt. Life is unpredictable. I just broke my f*cking leg one morning taking my dog out like I do everyday.
Do not waste someone's time if you are not ready! Go to therapy and come back to dating when you are ready to be fully in and give it a proper chance.
