So i have been single for around 2-4 years depending if you count my last "relationship" or not because it was a pretty complicated situation, but i have no idea how to get back out there and start dating again. I've only been with two different people both for around 2 years each and i'm almost 20 so I don't know if that's weird, but I was extremely shy in high school and the only reason i got with my first boyfriend was through my very small friend group.
i get a lot of sketchy people messaging me online so meeting someone through social media is not ideal. I just don't know how to go out and meet people because i have no idea how to do that sort of thing. I can't go to bars yet so that's not an option either. And after my last "relationship" I have had kind of weird trust issues/extremely high standards for people who i could potentially date.
Really I'm just struggling with meeting someone i connect with and I don't know if that means I'm just not ready to start dating again or if it means i'm just scared of being hurt again and i don't know how to go about meeting people
