DEAR ABBY: I can iden-
tify with that 23-year-old
girl because I had a similar
experience. My pride and
self- confidence were also
crushed. I felt worthless.
After five years. I took mat-
ters into my ow n hands.
On my 30th birthday, I
got the best gift God could
have given me. A friend and
I began dating. I asked HIM
out for our first date (some-
thing I'd sworn I'd never do).
I haven't looked back since.
We were married last June.
You were right. Abby,
when you told "Burned” that
her bad relationship was a
learning experience. I hope
she takes your advice to
heart and doesn't let it keep
her down. She needs to lake
that first step forward. You
never know what you can
accomplish until you try. -

that she had been badly hurt
after her three-year relation-
ship with a man she had
known since childhood fell
apart. She asked for encour-
agement in entering the dat-
ing scene again — something
she has been afraid to do
since the romance ended a
year and a half ago.
You advised that although
the experience had been a
painful one. it had been a
valuable learning experience
-- and said (among other
things) that it's worth kiss-
ing a few frogs once you
finally meet Prince Charm-
ing.
I thought she could use
some encouragement from
someone who has been in
the same boat. I, too. was
convinced I would never
become attached to anyone
again.
Then I landed a job as a
teaching assistant at the uni-
versity I attend, and met
“George." He asked me out
several times; each time I
gave him the excuse that I
was “too busy." One
evening he prepared a din-
ner of my three favorite
foods (all by himself),
packed it in a picnic basket,
and brought it to me at the
research office. We talked
and laughed for hours, and I
finally told him the real rea-
son I wasn't seeing anyone.
He explained that there
are nice men out there who
understand and don't mind
taking things slow — and he
was one of them. We have
been inseparable ever since.
And he has kept his word.
