Any advice is greatly appreciated
I don’t know how to move on , I guess. For context, I’m(22f) currently going through a divorce with an 8 month old and while I’m ready to be done with all of this, the other party is dragging his feet to prolong this for the both of us and it’s been almost a whole year of the divorce process and about a year and a half of separation and I wanna start dating again, at least I think I do, but I don’t know where to start and I don’t know how to talk to people because only ever REALLY been with one person and it’s completely uncharted territory. Recently I decided, hey, why not check out this Facebook dating thing and I matched with a decent guy around 30ish I think and he was nice and friendly and I realized, I have no idea what genuine kindness or “interest” looks like, all I know is, I guess, disrespect and white lies, that kinda thing, and if you combine that with my lack of confidence in communicating and being present in conversations instead of reading into everything, that match went terribly and well, we unmatched. I just don’t know how to improve and I genuinely don’t “clock” genuine interest and I want to be able to. I’m also in therapy/counseling to help me process the neglect and overall terrible treatment that my, hopefully, soon-to-be ex-husband has done to me and I’m just ready to move forward and try to, I guess, expand my life to more than just being a hermit crab, so that I can teach my daughter how to move on from crappy relationships and be a good and healthy role model for her. Any advice?
