It's not just women.

As a man who suffered from sexual abuse from an early age, dating is a literal nightmare. Women get so put off by my past and seem way less understanding than you'd think.

Sad.

There's a lot of support for sexual abuse victims. But when it comes to dating, nobody wants to touch you with a 10 foot pole. I would know...

The road to better days is here.

I've taken a lot of time to think about my past sexual abuse and I think I'm finally ready to date again. It's been a long road and I'm hoping I can make it less lonely.

So disappointing.

Just told the guy I was dating about my sexual abuse. Yeah of course he acted how he did... No one has compassion. This is exactly why I don't open up.

Not cool.

None of my friends know I suffer from PTSD due to rape and sexual abuse. Some laugh when I start twitching or consistently checking my surroundings. Others portray me as a bitch for not dating.

Fingers crossed.

After years of struggling with guilt from sexual abuse, I have a date tomorrow morning with a genuine guy. Here's to hoping it goes well
