There are men out there in the same boat as you.

It is easy to explain. "I used to be painfully shy, and could never bring myself to go on dates. I've had to work on my shyness." If that's not quite true, substitute something which is.

And people don't kiss on a first date? Since when? If the date goes well it generally ends up in some kissing. I made out with the last several people I dated on the first date. Sometimes there was more than kissing.


The first day my husband and I actually met in person we spent the entire night having wild sex. It was totally hot.

But dating doesn't equal the physical stuff I want to do. Dates are just meeting a person at whatever place or time to talk and feel awkward.

People don't kiss on a first date, which is why I could go on 500 first dates and be as unkissed as if I'd gone on none.
If they don't want to, they don't. If they do want to, they do.

My first date with my current BF was a lunch date. It turned in to dinner and breakfast too. As I recall, we did kiss.

I really can't date anyway because I am still emotionally attached to someone. This is all moot.

I know myself well enough to know that dating just won't work.

I don't know what I'm going to do, but dating seems impossible. Right now I have someone I'm attached to and it wouldn't be fair to anyone I dated when I still want him.

Do what I do. Party, drink, and have an indifferent attitude towards life.

An arranged marriage?

It sounds like you just want someone to fill a need in your life, and that's not very healthy in the long run.

If it's not healthy, then why do so many people do it?
