In or Out?

Ever heard the expression, "Once bitten, twice shy?" The last relationship might have left a little raw in emotions, and the memories are still fresh in my mind. Fresher than I can sometimes believe. With a hurt like that, I'm not so eager to enter the drama again. I'm so afraid of getting hurt that I take things to heart big-time when I'm involved with someone — after all, I've been hurt before, why can't it happen again?
I also might be guilty of comparing potential mates to my ex who may still constantly loom large in my mind.
But maybe, just maybe, it's time to check my baggage at the door and let a new person into my life with a clean slate. I don't know what I can offer to that someone but whatever it is, I can't do it when I have one foot firmly planted in the past.
What should I do?
