oh, susan i hear you. im slowly getting back into contemplating the possibility of non-pained social interactions, dating or otherwise, and it seems i'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe. im so tired of men responding only to my looks, i thought internet personals would be a good way to find men who would be attracted to my personality, but it doesn't seem the lesser of two evils, just a different evil.
one guy sends very well-written e-mails ... and minutes later, picayune corrections to his own writing. i do scare men off, irl or on-line, i have a painful set of losses not too far behind me, and spend a lot of time caring for a disabled sibling who lives with me. i find it especially difficult to meet men whose ideal world doesnt insist on having children, i just cant go through that again.
i hope your contact experiences improve. ive honestlz found more nice people (not dates but at this point, who's hoping?) through a hobby club I'm in than I have on-line.
