Hi all, wanted to have conversation about love and how to find it. In the past I have sinned and had toxic relationships and been on the wrong path. I've been hurt and betrayed etc. Luckily now aprox 10years on (not counting) I find myself happy single and starting relationship with God again but would like to feel closeness and community connection. I do struggle with friendships, co workers, relationships. Maybe I am too protective now and don't let anyone close, but I feel the need to be close.
What I'm trying to say is how do I start to bring walls down and meet people again in a healthy way. How do I meet the right people.
Its like a fresh start now being with Jesus and talking to him each day. I feel more pure in my heart. I have done alot of work in therapy but still feel stuck sometimes with past trauma. I will keep doing the work and now hopefully with him in my life things will be easier

What is everyone's else experience with Love? and what are you hoping to find?

Well my best advice is to remember that just because nobody (decent) wants to date you that doesn't mean nobody loves you.

And the close second is that it's better to be single than in a bad relationship / marriage.

the best way for you to find love is become a born again Christian & join a church. get a Bible that has explicit explanatory study helps. like Nelson King James Bible. find a couple of rustic Christian pastors. love is an extremely complicated issue. massive tangents exist. visits to a Christian Psychologist can be in order to. when i met my wife 10 & a half years ago, i wasn't in love with here while we were dating. yes, i loved her but was not in love. i never was in love because i was single for a very long time & hardly dated. she was kind, understanding, a Christian by course, adventurous, gregarious & many other positive attributes. i married her because i thought she was the woman. after we married, then i became in love with her. & we keep growing on our relationship while that's usually not the course. most marriages turn a bit sour after some years. i'll pray for you. don't expect your problems to be solved on the sooner side, that's the path off life on earth.
