I'm not holding my breath waiting for anyone to come along, so you can stop being condescending.

It's hardly condescending when it's the truth. You believe that if you're attracted to a guy and he is attracted back, your lack of sociability and inability to bond and connect with others will just go away. Page after page, we are telling you that you need to sort out your personal issues first, the right guy won't "cure" you of what's holding you back.

I don't need to be in a relationship and I don't need to have sex. Maybe your happiness is based on that, but mine isn't.

It is sad when that is all someone has to offer. I think the people who cannot get a date to save their own life and don't necessarily want one are far more advanced than someone who puts all their eggs in that one little basket.

I'm a skunk for crying out loud. Who's going to date me?

Don't care, I can clear out a whole ballpark if "someone" makes me mad....

Sometimes being with the right person (or people) can have therapeutic effects. I am not advocating that it will solve all of the OP's issues but I have had times in my life when the wrong crowd has dragged me down and conversely the right people have brought me back up.

Yeah. I mean, I obviously don't know for sure that things would be different in my ideal scenario, but without having ever been in the situation, I can't say for sure that they wouldn't be. The point is that people here don't know me and don't know what's best for me, so it's not their place to be condescending, try to diagnose me with things, and tell me what I need to do, nor did I ask them. There's a difference between sharing your perspective on things and overstepping your bounds, and some people here have issues with that.

Someone says they don't want to date and everyone is up in arms. I don't get why everyone is all on the OP's case.

I agree... if the OP feels like she's done with dating it doesn't make her some kind of sociopath, it just makes her done with dating... I gave up trying to diagnose her. if she simply doesn't want to date than she simply doesn't want to date.. doesn't mean anything more or anything less...

Like the old saying goes....

"To each his/her own."

Some people are just unable to fathom that people simply have a different view of romance and anything really, than they do. When someone gets great pleasure from something...they can't or choose not to understand that someone else doesn't feel the same way. As humans we all want to fit in, and there is a select few who couldn't care whether they fit a certain mold or not. We shouldn't try to condemn one another for it...especially if one is not hurting the other or themselves.

We should all just chill.

Well I'm definitely a nasty personality here, I find it dazzling people here would not believe when someone says "I'm done" to dating they can't believe the frustration it takes to get to that point where they are finished.
