She had been in a really bad abusive relationship years ago and hasn't dated since. What is the best way to get her to start dating again? She's very nice but has such a delicate personality.

well i can understand why she is avioding it...she doesnt want to be hurt again and who can blame her? just go out with her if you meet some new people dont encourage dating but rather friendship so that she doesnt feel so pressured...that way she can get to know them and if she feels they can go to the next level then she can take it like that

I would advise her not to worry about dating so much and worry about herself, and trying to better herself, and make herself happy without need of a man. Because she cant love someone else if she doesnt love herself. And I am happy she is out of the abusive relationship, so she should take some time out to herself and hang out with great friends such as yourself, as well as maybe gets some therapy and counseling to deal with the after effects of an abusive relationship. Because she must deal with these post traumatic stresses before she imposes them on her next relationship.

if she isn't ready to start dating again, maybe you shouldn't pressure her too much, her heart's still healing from that relationship. however, to ease her into the dating world again, show her that not all men are like the one she met and was in the relationship with. since you say she's delicate, you must be very careful because if she's in another abusive relationship she might just stop dating forever.

tell her that it's time for her to start moving forward and to stop looking back. Her abusive relationship was the past and not all men are going to treat her like her previouse relationship. Encourage her and be by her side, help find the right someone. And last but not least, as corny as it may sound, let her know you care and that you want to see her in love again.

If your friend is not ready to date again, this is her decision and the worst thing you can do is force the issue. With her previous relationship disaster, I can well understand her hesitancy to jump back in. You can, however, be subtle about the matter by following several previously mentioned suggestions ... include her along on social outings (yes, larger galas are better than smaller affairs) and invite her to join you and your significant other for dinner (she can see for herself how happy a person can be with another ...).

Invite her along on group outings, with males and females. Have you talke to her about it? If she's totally dead set against dating yet, definetly don't push her into a small group setting at all, just keep it on a large group scale.
