Antonia,

Why, exactly, to you "think you just need a decent dating experience ..." Do we have expiration dates on our foreheads that are only seen with fluorescent lighting? LOL. Granted, you are not me nor I you ( say that fast 5 times) but perhaps you should stop worrying about dating and what it might or might not lead to, and just be friendly? It may seem as if I have watched too much TV, but I do believe in chemistry, and that when you meet the right person at the right time, you will 'click'. It is not something that you can force to happen. That doesn't mean you have to hide your light under a barrel. I'm red headed. I glow in the dark. Just that it will happen when the time is right, and meeting men in questionable ways and places will only introduce you to questionable men. I should know. I married two of them.
