Dating after SA and abuse

Hi,

I'm a 19-year-old woman, and I hope this is the right place to post this. I'm writing to ask if dating gets easier after having experience of SA and abuse?

I feel like I can't date or even talk to people romantically without getting so scared, and I know I'm not ready, but I'm wondering if anyone who has experience was ever ready to date again?

I know I have a lot more work to do and a lot more to learn, but I guess I am just looking for some hope.
