First date after heartbreak

Today I went on a date for the first time in a long time. I’m a single mom who got out of an abusive relationship, and I never thought I’d ever date again. I’m young and have been through a lot and I didn’t think anyone would want me after getting out of a relationship where I was constantly beat up, put down, and pushed over.

But tonight this guy that I really like took me out and it was so different from what I experienced before. I love books so he took me to this huge bookstore in LA bought me a bunch of books and then took me to my favorite kind of restaurant. He opened doors for me, actually talked about my interests, and was genuinely nice.

I know this might seem so sad because I’m getting excited about a guy just doing what he should as a nice person, but after the relationship I had it was like a breath of fresh air reminding me that there’s still hope.

I don’t think it’ll turn into anything serious, and I don’t think I want it to but tonight really reminded me that I’m not damaged goods. That even though I’m a young mom that’s been abused in every way possible I don’t have to settle, and I’m excited to see what else is out there for me 😇😊
