    No, you're not being crazy, you're just being precautions. Given your experience, it is quite okay for you to be apprehensive. Why don't you try and make your first outings a group thing. Ask the guy to bring along his friend and you bring some of your friends, a guy from your side just for security and get him a date so as to not send a bad impression. just do this 1-2 times then go for dates during daytime and public places till you feel comfortable. Simple.....

    no, youre not crazy for being scared at all. what that guy did to you wasn't right so make sure you don't assume every guy is like that but i suggest having a couple dates in public places like resturants and pools and when you feel comfortable bring them to your house so you feel more comfortable. on the day you bring the guy home tell a friend that if you dont call by a certain time to come over and make sure everything is okay

    you aren't crazy to be scared- it's naturally to be a bit wary after the horrible experience you went through.

    It's okay to go on the date and take it slow. Stay in public with them for the first few dates. It's okay to let them know, if you're comfortable with it, that you had an abusive relationship a few years back and it makes you want to take things slow. Good guys will understand that.

    You could also talk to a counselor or therapist about what you went through, and overcoming your fears, if you want.

    Best wishes!!
