writes:I got out of an abusive relationship in July and my ex has continually contacted/harassed me ever since. I ended up having to get a restraining order. I have been technically "single" for 6 + months and on some level I want to start dating again. But because he kept contacting me etc. I am not sure I am ready though. I feel like I keep treating the few guys I have gone on dates with since the breakup as though they are likely to hurt me the way my ex did. How do I get over this and how do you know when you are ready to start dating again?

 you are ready to start dating again when you can offer the other person a package that can work. If you still carry baggage from the abusive relationship you should seek counselling. it would probably help. If you don't think you're stable enough to be in a relationship go to dances and social functions and widen your circle of friends for a start. Look on the internet for interest groups such as bushwalking etc. Widening your circle of friends give you a better chance of meeting mr right. Be carefule to avoid another abusive relationship. Some people go after abusive partners tima and again.
