Based on your (Cronos) earlier post talking about friends who would say, "she wanted you", hud is giving good advice. When you are yourself and aren't worried about impressing anyone, you probably do a lot better than you think. Just be yourself and have fun with people. You're what, 24? You've got like 30 years before you have to worry about getting hitched. You're fine.

Cronos, I was in the exact same boat when I was your age. EXACT SAME BOAT. So don't pressure yourself or feel badly--you've got plenty of time.

If find someone who likes you on the night your "acting", then they don't really like you do they? Never pretend to be someone that your not, even if it's just to get laid. There are plenty of girls out there who are going to like you for you. When you meet someone special, you'll know.

Hmm...I'm appreciative for the advice and testimony from similar situations, but it sounds so easy from the end of those who've been lucky enough to find someone.

I'm 26 by November, but let's say we go with that age, JC...so I'm to only worry about getting married by the time I'm 54? haha, come on.
If I'm still worried about this problem by 50, then believe me: it will be way too late for me to ever hope to accomplish anything significant in life.

For the record,I'm 39 and still single....by choice.

That's what I told my mom when she asked if I was seeing anyone serious. I said I didn't have to worry about that for 25-30 years (I'm 25 now). Just a half joke.
The second sentense makes me ask, do you think you need to get married in order to "acomplish anything significant in life"? Why?

The second sentence was a product of me posting too late and half-asleep. Not really being serious either.

I hate them. It can drive a person mad because you never really know what they mean when they say certain things.
You could just approach things the John Nash way.
"How about you buy me a drink."
"I don't exactly know what I am required to say in order for you to have intercourse with me. But could we assume that I said all that. I mean essentially we are talking about fluid exchange right? So could we go just straight to the sex?"
Not really being serious either.
