Hmmm, I’m 30 and sadly, my experience supports callmelater’s description. Maybe it’s a generational thing? Every man I meet near my age is basically awful in some huge and unexcusable way. And most of the men I’ve met are never actually looking for an emotional connection, but are instead pretending that they are in…

Haha! I understand, but not because I’m a scientist. I just have an anxiety disorder, which means my mind is never at rest :P

I completely understand that fear of commitment and closeness! I felt the same way before I managed to break down all my walls and let myself fall in love for the first time. It was not easy and it took a very long time. For the first several months of dating my first love, I was intensely fearful of a host of…

Cool! I’m bicurious, so I’ve taken a look at the women in my area. I feel like women have a similar age range to men, though it generally skews older. Honestly, I’m often surprised by the upper age limit of many men. It seems like young men are getting more openminded about dating older women. In general, I think it’s…

Haha! To be honest, I feel exactly the opposite... I really do wanna have feelings about boys!!!

Those are both great signs! It’s always helpful to see how someone treats strangers, and also how they treat cashiers and waiters :)

Ewwwwwww, you just gave me nightmares! That happens?! You find poops without toilet paper????

I’m so sorry :( Online dating really sucks in so many different ways. When I first started, it seemed so promising! I felt like I got to filter out guys that have differing political and religious beliefs, and eliminate smokers and drug users. It seemed great! But I hate it so much now. I suck at meeting people in…

Congratulations, I’m glad your date went well! To me, the way you describe him sounds very promising :)

I would generally advise that honesty is the best policy, not only about age, but also about what you’re looking for. When you are chatting with someone, if the conversation seems to being going well, just give them a heads up that you have no idea what you’re looking for right now. In my experience, you’ll end up…

I’m trying to get used to the alone life too. Like you, I have an anxiety disorder and I’m realizing more and more that relationships are a major source of stress for me. I’m in therapy and it’s not really making me feel any more hopeful about this. Sadly, I think I need to get used to my own company because I don’t…

Do you really want to even chat with guys who are 18-21? Because if you say you’re 25, you’re going to have to wade through a lot of immature bullshit...

AGREED. I had a great first date with a guy, but found out he told a lie to me. He didn’t think it was a big deal and definitely seemed to believe I overreacted when he told me, but I dated a compulsive liar once, so lying is a trigger for me... I wrote him off immediately and decided to never see him again.

So you’re not looking for anything physical or serious, but you’re concerned about missing out on some great catch? I’m confused! :P
