I ended my 6 year relationship with my boyfriend, who I got together with when I was 18, a few months ago for a number of reasons. I have since been enjoying the single life and finding myself again. I have been asked out on many occasions by guys since my break-up but I feel as if Im not ready for a relationship as yet. Is this normal?Should I just go out on dates with guys and just have fun with them until im ready for a relationship again provided I be honest with them?

Dont feel you have to rush back into the dating world if you are not ready. It sounds to me as though you are beginning to find yourself after a long time as a half of a relationship, you are now a full single. Life is different when your single and you will see it through different eyes. I say go with what you really feel, and you really dont feel like a relationship just yet. Continue finding yourself before you start dating again.

Honey - you have clearly got the right idea and are not going to jump into a rebound relationship. Six years is a long time – many marriages last less time! –and inevitably you will have developed behavioural habits, become predictable to both your ex and yourself. You need to re-discover the real you. Get out there and try out new ideas, new people, new places – become less predictable (but not too dangerously so – a little bit of "danger" to spice things up) to yourself so as to give the new ideas and people a chance to become enjoyable. Be honest with your dates so there are no expectations that don't suit you.
But do date lots - Enjoy life - Have fun. Good luck

Sure, why deny yourself a social life. If it develops into something more, deal with it at that time. But for now, get up, go out and have some fun.
You need to realize that a date, or even a few dates don't automatically lead to a relationship. Had you not gotten locked into such a long relationship at such a young age, you might have grown more emotionally, and not see it so narrowly as you now do.
Make friends and just forget the pressure of relationships.

enjoying life and finding yourself i again s a great place to be. If you are just going on a date just because or just for fun and feel weird about it , try going out with a few others, making it a small group. less pressure.
Just because you are single and dating doesn't mean that you have to be wanting or looking for a relationship nor do you need to explain to all. If you want to go........go enjoy the now, and put the past in the past.l

Date? Yes, relationship? No way. Rebound relationships rarely work out. When you are rebounding you need to be especially carefull, it is like the smell of blood to most guys, A woman just out of a relationship is an easy target because you are used to being in one. The other thing is that whatever reason you broke up with your boyfriend was, you run the risk of gravitating toward the same type of character. Dating should be limited to going out to public places, avoid sex at all costs. Guys know you are rebounding and they can easily charm the pants off you, literally. You will be asked out alot but beware any man willing to take you out right after a traumatic experiance. I am not saying all m en are bad, but there are alot of preditors out there. Good luck.

As much as I hate to say it, I don't think you should go out with guys until you're ready to dedicate the necessary time and effort into someone you can really care about. Going on a date or two is fine but don't actually start seeing someone until you're ready. It's not fair to you.

Provided you're straight with them from the offset then yes. Just make sure they know your situation so they wont be lead on.
Also - yeah go out and have fun, but dont fall into the mistake of sleeping around with these guys.
Just take it as it comes - and who knows - you may actually meet one that you want to date!
Good luck!
