I've always written it of to saying "I'm still holding out to get back together with my ex," but that too is a BS excuse. I'm afraid to ask someone out, afraid what will happen if they say no...or yes. Afraid I won't do the right thing on a date, just afraid. I still do have strong feelings for my ex, but going on a date, going on with my life, is not going to change that one way or another. What if I go on a date and really like her and she doesn't like me? What if we both like each other and then my ex wants to get back together? I gotta find a way to get past this somehow. Not just with dating, but my life in general.
