Ya know, AG, you've droned on and on for years about "someday" having a LTR. You know, don't you, that in order for that to happen, you have to actually go out on a DATE???
OK, I understand your angst about getting into another R. We all have had that after what we've been through. However, any man that looks at you, smiles at you, says hello to you is not "after" you. You give no one a chance. You assume the worst. Did you ever think that maybe they're just happy to be alive that day? I'll talk to anyone. It's cause I'm happy and friendly. I sure as hell hope they don't think I'm hitting on them!!!
Your looks have nothing to do with why you seem to be unapproachable. It's your entire vibe. You have a "me against the world vibe/get them before they get me vibe."
I'm challenging you to go on a "real" date. Join a service. Practice dating. It's actually fun and maybe SOMEDAY you'll have to think about a LTR. You're putting way to much thought into something that can never happen without a DATE.
And.......dates "usually" do not turn into LTRs. But.....they can!!!
