What is your opinion on taking a break from dating, a waste of time or a good thing to do if you're just feeling too vulnerable? I have gotten to a point I really don't want to fall in love again. Maybe I just need a break from dating. Has anyone ever done this, what was your experience?

You probably should... if I remember you correctly, you seem to have some issues... I'd lay low for a bit see how things go..... I know that being alone can be uncomfortable.... post on CD if you need to.. that might help.....

I do have issues, but don't we all? I think a big part of the problem is just picking the wrong men.

I can't get started... and already ready to take a break. Dating is supposed to be fun!

Bring some self awareness to your life... not being snarky... it might help. Sometimes just seeing ourselves can help... not always, but sometimes...

I've found that I subconsciously have done things in the past and didn't even really know I was... for example I have been told that I act a different way around my Dad and when I heard that information I found myself being more "present" around him I think it might have helped.

More information than I wanted to share, but I'm feeling generous tonight.

Yes, I've taken breaks from dating. It's helpful to focus on yourself every once in a while, and it keeps things simple. It can help you gain perspective, too. I think it's healthy.
