I was a bit of a late bloomer as i was very shy as a teenager. Didn't have my first girlfriend till i was in my early 20's. The relationship was very toxic and ended very badly with lies, betrayal, cheating etc. This happened nearly 3 years ago.

I have gotten over it and barely even remember her anymore. During the 3 years I rarely slept with girls, just a few ONS and tinder hook ups, barely much dating.

But i'm starting to feel lonely. I do enjoy my time on my own but it's been such a long time since ive actually dated a girl. The experience with my ex has left me feeling so sour towards women. I'm not hear to understand what i did wrong in the relationship i've already learnt all that and red pill. I've grown as a person and i also know there are some really good women out there.

But i can't help feel this bitterness/sour feeling, i feel afraid of women ... I just felt so horrible after what happened with my ex I just naturally avoid women. How do I get over this fear? Every time i t hink of dating a women i just t hink nope don't want to experience that horrible feeling again
