Woman dating too many too much

-

Q - My seven-year relationsh­ip ended earlier this year. I took five months off, then recently started dating again.

Since I’d been “out of practice,” I tried to meet as many men as possible and go on as many dates as possible.

Recently, I met four men within a very short period. I feel great connection with all of them.

All four have asked me out on a second, third, fourth date, and so on.

I’ve moved on and told my ex. That’s when the harassing went from emails and phone calls to dropping in unexpected­ly and starting a fight.

I have no idea what he may do next.

What can I do to protect myself?
