Is it normal to be scared of being hurt?

I'm single at the moment, and I'd like to meet someone, but I'm terrified of getting hurt again, and its stopping me getting close to anybody.
I do occasionally date, but I get so tense and then run to the hills leaving the poor guy staring in disbelief. And I end up feeling like I want to kick myself up the backside for being so pathetic.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Been there. After some times, it will fade away. Just wait and slowly you will get better.

    I was/still am the same way. Completely terrified. But once you find the right person who's just as terrified as you and willing to put himself and his life out there for you, you'll feel more comfortable. You've just gotta find someone out there who's looking for a more emotionally-sensitive relationship like you are :)
