Hi mildred and welcome.

Sweetie - girls aren't scarey until after you catch them! YIKES! <runs from Willow, Heather, and all the other women here ...lol> Just kidding - I just couldn't resist! The Devil made me do it and that's the story I'm sticking to.

My thoughts are simple ...

First, a no is a no, and if you never approach them it is a no. If you do walk up to one and she says no - then you have lost nothing. But if you don't approach her, and she would have said yes that is a no you brought on.

And don't be shy. We only live once. Be smart and responsible, but, take the step. And enjoy it.

As far as your illness goes - should it reflect who you are? I think not - it is just an illness like a cold or another sickness that disrupts peoples lives. If a person can't accept you for who you are - are they deserving of someone as special as you?

And you are special. You may ask yourself how does this guy I've never met claim to know about yourself? Because in this whole world - there is only one you and that makes you unique.

Best wishes and it is so nice to meet you,

Your friend Sam

Anyone can say I love you, but actions speak louder than words.
