ouch I just read this bill, and sleepy isn't posting anymore, methinks your approach was a little hard on him.
Social interaction isn't a bad thing, no one is saying that he's going to sleep with someone on the first date - why this assumption is made time & time again is beyond me.
Bill you may not agree with my advice & responses on most of the active threads here but I fail to see the advice you've been offering him on his situation, all you did was kill his self-esteem with this last post.
Offer something constructive, there are enough posts of dreams being killed on these forums, I think constructive advice would be appreciated.
