20s+ only please. How to start over.?

It's going on 4 years since I've been involved with anyone, and it took me quite a while to get over my last relationship (made the mistake of getting involved with my best friend, just happens to be a gorgeous girl). Recently I've been wanting to get back into dating, but I feel so out of the loop. I've been using grad school as an excuse, but I just finished my Master's and am taking some time off before getting my PhD. I just moved to a little town in the middle of nowhere with just a couple crappy bars (I'm not a bar-guy anyway) and a couple little cafes and coffee shops. For a while I thought I was happy focusing on my career, but now I know that I was trying to hide my hurt and my fear. I haven't actually met anyone yet, but being that I haven't tried to engage anyone since I was 19/20 and I'm 25 now, I don't want to make a fool out of myself.

Serious advice only please.

    If you can't control any more seek someones deep & sincere love but remember it will disturb your PhD.

    However it will result in PhD in Love, Sex & Relationship as your whole concentration in studies will be disturbed.

    I think its good that you looking to get back into another relationship, or try it at least.

    Don't let the fact that you been single for 4 years bother you. Try and focus on meeting someone who interests you and who you like being around.

    Seeing as you're 25, you would be looking for someone as mature as yourself. You maybe older true, but the core of a relationship is the bond between two people, and age or your time you been single shouldn't matter.

    When you do meet someone you like, be honest and open.

    Show the person that you genuinely care and want them to be a part of your life, and I'm sure things will be just fine, if not super ;)

    All the best!!!
