Hi Olive. I don't really have any advice or anything. I just wanted to say that I think it's so nice of you to care about your friend so much. She's lucky to have you on her side.

If she recently broke up, maybe some time to herself would be a good thing right now. I mean, having a boyfriend is always nice, but there is a lot to be said for enjoying life yourself while you wait for a good guy to come along. ..... Hey, has she tried a reputable dating website? There are some good ones.

Hope everything works out nicely. She sounds like a very nice person .. a nice catch for a deserving man!

I can totally relate to this poor woman. I have been in relationships with very abusive men. The worst part is that you do not see their true colors until you are well into the relationship. I chock it up to my lack of self esteem. I agree with Gia. I would rather be alone. I do wish your friend well.

Olive,

There are a few of us single women on here that have been put through the ringer, including myself. All I can do is quote a fellow member (Hippie) here and it rings so true:

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."

Best of luck to her.

I'm the last person really who should give suggestions, having been married 39 years to a good man, but my observations are: 1. Don't go out looking. Love comes at odd times. 2. Get out of your comfort zone a bit; join a class, a group do something new. If you are a dog person, own a dog, etc., take your dog out in public, to the dog park. Its amazing how people open up to someone with a dog! 3. Love yourself. Take time to pamper youself, do things for yourself. Do things JUST for yourself. 4. Volunteer. Helping out in the community puts you in touch with lots of new people, and shows others that you are caring and considerate.

Nice of you to try to help a friend. My suggestion is for her to read "A Fine Romance" by Judith Sills to understand dating relationships better. It may help her recognize the losers quicker so she doesn't stay in dead end relationships for years. It helped me a lot - I went from endless dead end relationships to marriage. (Well, that and counseling to figure out why I was attracted to the dead end relationships). The best advice in the book was: pay attention to how you feel about yourself when you are with that person, not how you feel about them.
