The Dating Pool -- Am I Fooling Myself?

I'm still so confused about the world of dating.  I'm not very good at as it's been forever since I've been on a date or had sex.  For the past few months I've tried the on line dating thing and it has not even provided a single date.  About a month ago I e-mailed back and fourth with this guy and we exchanged photos and phone numbers and set up tentative date.  Then he fell off the face of the planet.  A couple of other people have shown a little interest but nothing developed.  So now I do wonder, am I fooling myself?  Will I ever get a date?  I'm not good at meeting people, I'm shy.  I'm not really a bar or club fly not that there is much of that down here anyway.

I also still wonder if I do meet someone, can I give them my heart?  I've been single most of my life.  Can I share enough of me with someone or will I always hold back?  Still the same questions and still no answers.  I'm just starting to feel hopeless, but I guess life goes on... alone.

    I'm sorry to hear you feel this way.

    The trouble with internet dating is that a lot of people are on there just for sex. It also eliminates the ability to feel that special fluttering in your stomach when you first meet a person.

    If you're not the bar type of person, then don't bother going there anymore. People who go to bars like bars. If you meet a guy there, you already have a difference between you. He will want to go out, you'll want to stay in.

    Not that I'm a love doctor... but I'd recommend looking for love in the places you want to be. If you like books, maybe you'll meet someone at a Barnes and Noble. If you like the park, maybe you'll meet someone there.

    If you meet someone at a place you like, then you already have something in common and a place to go that you both enjoy

    Gosh this sounds like an advice column. Sorry, haha. I do believe there is someone out there for you because I believe in true love. As for your question about sharing with him.. that might be a problem, but it's common. If he's the right one, you will *want* to share with him.

    Hugs
