Advice please!

I have just got out of a five year relationship, he was my first bf and now I have no clue at all how to deal with men. I can't tell when men are flirting with me, if they like me etc and the thought of going out to meet people actually scares me. I feel like a complete loser!

I have very few friends which gets me down a bit and I don't want to be mistaking friendship for something more and making a fool of myself.

Any advice?

    It's not one size fits all, it's just part of life, you sound young and as such have plenty of time to meet someone suitable.

    To be honest I'd presume its a friendship until its blatantly obvious that both of you want it to be something more !
    Why not just learn to enjoy going out with friends before looking for another relationship ?
    Friends are with you for a long time whilst relationships come & go !
