<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

So ever since college I've pretty much constantly been in a relationship. Four years with a great guy I met in college who I eventually broke up with because of ex number 2, who I dated for three years, and then broke it off with recently because he was emotional abusing me.  

Now I'm single with a pretty happy life after some therapy. I've got a great dog to keep me company, a little apartment in the city that's all my own, and a well-paying full time job in a field I love. The thing is, I have no idea what I want out of a relationship, or even if I want a relationship. 

Should I try online dating? I'm not sure if its right for me. It seems really awkward and strange going on a date with someone I don't really know at all. I would much rather hang out with someone as a friend for awhile before asking them out so I feel like I know them a bit already. Is it fair for me to make an online dating profile if I'm not sure I'm even ready to date again? I just get lonely sometimes and my friends aren't always around, plus I get pretty busy myself. Or should I just live my life and wait for the right guy to come along? So far, despite my best efforts to make new friends, I haven't met anyone I've clicked with.

Any suggestions?
<bot>: Been in serious long term relationships for most of my adult life--now I'm single and I have no idea if I'm ready to date again, or how I'm supposed to meet people I could see myself dating.
