I won't try to go through and address all those bullets points, and I genuinely appreciate your opinion. Just wanted to clear a few things up: -To me, military service is not "blindly following" whatever someone tells you to do. It's relying on the trust you build with other people through...

I'm so so sorry for necroing this thread, but this is really the only place I feel comfortable talking about this. My friends don't quite understand, and there's no way my parents would either. I had a really rough dream last night related to this whole thing. It was like I had walked into this...

Just curious to see if anyone's a roadie, trail slayer, tour geek, any sort of cyclist. I was into the mountain bike scene for a while but switched to road biking about three months ago. Picked up a Motobecane Mirage and for a $400 bike it's not too shabby. I just need some SPD pedals, new...

Good decision! And seriously, don't stress too much. It seems like a huge deal right now, but eye/retinal surgeons do this stuff all the time. No worries brah. Enjoy the vicodin/Oxycontin after :P

Good points, it just seems like it'll be difficult trying to actually go on dates with someone if I can't drive. Call it an outdated social norm, misogynistic, whatever, but in a lot of places it's still expected that the guy picks up the girl, takes her out, drives her back home, etc etc. And...

I live in the definition of "middle of nowhere" :P What surprised me is that I asked this question on another forum, but left out the part about my vision issues and just said that I didn't have a car or license. Almost every response was "If a man can't drive me around he must be weak/insecure"...

I did have a question that's been on my mind for a while. For the girls: How would you feel about hanging out with a guy who doesn't have a car/can't drive? I've got vision issues that stop me from doing so and that's always been a huge fear of mine. Finally working up the courage to ask someone...

If it helps at all, I've had 5 eye surgeries (all on my right eye) -Retinal re-attachment -Procedure to remove scar tissue and implant a small bubble of silicone to hold the repaired retina in place. -Procedure to remove said silicone and do more scar removal -Cataract surgery (cataract...

I think they just forgot. On it's own that wouldn't have bugged me a whole lot, they tried to salvage the situation by saying they'd invite somebody for me to hang out with. Really? You're going to drag someone else into this mess in an attempt just to make me feel better or something? Yeahno.

Been there, done that. "Hey we're doing a couples dinner night, do you want to...ohhhhhh, sorry..." *Awkward cricket noises*

The trouble I seem to have is that if one person turns me down, I automatically assume that's how the rest of my interactions are going to be. It doesn't matter if that's not true, that's how my brain works. And there's no way to turn that "off". It's impossible for me to shrug and brush it off...

Pretty much what Ardour said. Even just getting rejections from asking "Hey, can I get you a coffee?" hurt like a sumbitch. And my other problem with those online dating sites is that, on the incredibly small off-chance a girl actually said yes, unless she literally lives around the corner I'm...

Just to clarify: I don't think my parents exactly know how those comments sat with me, and I'm not exactly the best at conveying emotion. So yeah, they probably don't realize what that meant to me.

It's not so much the kids thing that bugs me, it's the fact that they seemed so surprised and almost discouraged that I wasn't even dating anybody. I made up some BS story about dating a girl last year, but that left a horrid taste in my mouth. But honestly, that was easier than telling them...

Short hair, good legs, the usual stuff like that~ Oh, and I'm a furry too, soooo yeah...

@TheRealCallie: Eventually yeah, I'd love to have kids. Just not seeing that happening right now. And as far as my brother, my parents have ever so subtly hinted that if he adopted/had a surrogate mother, they'd find it difficult to accept that child as part of their family. @blueforge: I can...

I'm really, really sorry for necroing this thread, but I didn't think I needed to spam the forum with new topics soooo- I've been gone for a while, mostly just busy with school stuff and the like, and in terms of my original situation nothing's changed. And for a time I was kinda okay with that...

I've honestly thought about online dating myself. My only concerns are that I don't have a car/license, and can't really get anywhere outside my immediate area. Also I live in the least populous state in the country, so I doubt I'd find anyone around here :P I'd have no qualms about being in a...

Any advice on this?

I don't know if this true across the board, but at least for me sex isn't what I'm going for. Yeah, I'm sure it's great, but that's not my primary goal in wanting to be ina relationship with someone. It's to be able to share my life with someone else who cares, and vice versa. To me, emotional...
