Hi! I could really use some advice. I'm 32 years old, never dated and to be honest I'm scared to date. My entire life I've heard stories about women who have dated men who become obsessed with them and when it's time to end the relationship the man won't let go. In the end, the woman ends up being killed by the man and the man walks scott free. How do you women deal with the fears of dating? Have you ever met anyone who became obsessed with you? How did you deal with it? I've thought about dating online but don't know if this is the right start for me. Any advice?

in this day and age, it is really hard to get a man's attention for 5 days so dont worry about them being obsessed with you. You should feel much safer now and give dating a try it can be fun just dont have high expectations and dont be nervous about it. You can also watch some dating program on TV if it helps you feel more comfortable with yourself.

Hon. this is an irrational fear that you are having. I think that you have made this into a bigger deal in your mind.

True freedom can only be achieved when you have no fear.
