I'll be 27 in three weeks. I was engaged once to a guy I dated for 3 years and had another 2-year relationship. I've "hooked up" with several guys and been on dates with several others.

However, in all seriousness, I have lost all confidence/awareness that I will ever date again and if I do, how to handle the situation...

I was cheated on in my last relationship so I lost some mojo there and I dated six or seven random not-nice ones after him and then gave up in Summer 2004. I've never dated anyone that I didn't meet on the internet.

These days, the internet seems less and less safe of a way to meet people. There also seem to be very few men locally who frequent online sites. In the real world, I'm a graduate student taking 16 class hours with a 30 hr a week field placement in a hospital and a 20 hr a week graduate teaching/research assistanceship. There are no single men in my program and I rarely have the energy to go out anymore.

I also quit drinking in August. I never had a drinking problem but I ALWAYS used it as a relaxing agent with new guys. In fact, I'm quite certain the only men I've made out with sober were the two I almost married. Maybe a few others...but anyway...

3 years until 30 and I'm still terribly embarrassed by kissing. Advice? I'm in no rush to get married. I'm ok happy as a single girl. I'd like to meet someone for cuddling/cooking/canoodling but it's not something I'lld die without... I'm just terrified that if someone comes along, I'm not going to have the confidence/know-how to even begin a relationship. I sound 3rd grade don't I???

Sorry so long and thanks for listening. Hope you are well.
