RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I got dumped last year and I found it a bit tough. Since then I've been working on getting sober for long enough to really be able to work on myself, with a view to decide whether I want to stay sober or whether I want to go back to it.
I don't really want to risk anything during this time. I miss dating a lot, I love being with somebody and getting to know someone who means a lot to me, but I just don't think I'd be great to date right now and I am struggling to trust people easily since the breakup anyhow.
I'll get there, though. And when I'm ready, I hope I'll have more to offer than I've ever had before!
