I ended a long-term relationship last year and have slowly begun dating again. Most experiences I had were ok, but a few guys got very upset when I rejected them, one of whom I hadn’t even met in person (dodged a bullet there).

I don’t understand why men feel so entitled to a woman’s time, patience and feelings, but nevertheless a man being mean and nasty to me obviously upsets me very much and I get super stressed out and anxious.

Obviously the more I date the more I risk situations like these, even tho I don’t go out with just anyone and am super careful when dating, but some men only show their true colors after being told “no” and that’s the scary part. Any tips on how to be less scared and anxious would be greatly appreciated.
