Don't be - you'll be fine once it isn't so fresh and you're in a better place.
As for the talk on the first date.. Think about it this way. If you decided to ride your bike tomorrow and stop in somewhere for a drink, and you start chatting with the chick next to you (as friends, in case the dudes here think I'm going into lesbian story hypotheticals).. and then before you know it, she's telling you the whole story of how her brother died or how her ex best friend screwed her over, etc.
...wouldn't you be like
?
There's valid justification for going into detail as you mentioned, but ultimately it comes off as emotional very early on. Or at least it would to me (admittedly, I'm not much of a personal sharer to even my own friends).
But even if the person isn't disturbed by it or freaked out per se, you've presented it as "feel sorry for me" vs. "be attracted to me".. even if that's not the intention.

Makes sense
I’m an open book type person in general (should be pretty obvious to anyone here
). Guess I will just have to more mindful and keep the book more closed when on dates
So you basically saying sharing is scaring on a first date ?

that's a huge difference in guys and girls right there, two girls sit down next to each other and it's like opening up a bottle of truth serum, in twenty minutes you've heard everything and probably more than you want to about the other girl's life, two baws will talk about sports, women, whatever, it just doesn't involve the sodium pentothal affect

Quite the opposite. She would not go home with me or vice versa, even though I hinted at it.

Ooooh, nurse is gonna score. Got them lined up for days.

First rule of dating is that if your date talks about their ex you dump them. No ifs, ands or buts.
Nurse dont even think about dating until you finally figure out your ex didnt mess up your head. If he had that much power over you then that is something you need to fix about yourself. He is not responsible for your own happiness and all you are doing is trying to pass the buck instead of taking personal responsibility.

That’s basically how my friendship with DW started.

Trying to pass the buck????
I have taken responsibility for anything I may have done that led to me being divorced. Don’t think it is out of line to admit his actions have seriously hurt me and messed with my head. I would say anyone going through a divorce they didn’t want can sympathize with that.

You’ve said you can’t cook. What are you doing to improve that?

That isn’t the thing that led to the divorce
He was really, really weird about food. Like he was an “eat to live” type person. Def not from Louisiana. He could only drink protein shakes for lunch everyday and be totally fine with that.
He didn’t like rice of any kind.....who hates rice??

So, you're telling me it was doomed from the start.
