    I just can't date

    I feel incompetent.
    When I met my boyfriend, fiance, husband I almost have it all, just a few steps to get a house.
    But now i have nothing.
    I feel so devastated of myself and feel so ashamed.
    There are men proposing to date me but I feel ashamed to meet them because I have nothing.

    Help me please because I feel that if I began to date and forget about my ex then I can become complete again and at the same time, I just can't push myself to dating without much going on with my life.

    ablaze,

    Take some time to grieve your breakup and understand what happened. Rushing into dating before you've had a chance to do that has a high probability of disaster. Focus on your work, friends, family, school, life, etc. You will feel more confident and competent to handle a new relationship after that.

    Good luck

      thanks for the reply.
      But isn't it time for me to move on?
      For my ex, it's been over 4 years ago.
      He keep me playing me since then, I think time to move on for me too and time to let someone love myself.
      I'm 26 now and I would like to be settled at 30yrs old, will not marry someone again for just meeting under a year, I want to marry someone that I know for at least 2 years don't you think.
      Still I feel that I'm grieving because I have this anxiety that covers my good day sometimes. I just wake up with PTSD symptoms thinking about my ex with another girl with kids, and I just want to cry, I want to move on and forgive myself and feel loved again, I supposed it's too much to ask.
