please trust your gut. yes, dating is to get to know one another and then eventually or usually settle down with marriage and family if so desired. if these are the things you want then by all means listen to your head and do your best to have those things with a healthy person. it may be a little while before you even want to meet someone or think about serious things. take some time for only you and the rest will work out as it should. be strong!
