Well, for starters, Love your UserName!! Aren't Red Pandas, the most adorable creatures?

I agree with the quote "when you are the best person to be your friend, you are not longer afraid of being lonely, because you are enough. You will no longer be desperate to be with someone because of fear, but because you choose to."

I feel, it doesn't matter what age bracket one falls into, the dating world is tough. There's nothing wrong with perhaps being too 'intense.' I've been told, I can be intimidating, as a woman. Not in the aggressive sense, but because I am articulate and intelligent and wonderful and beautiful. Not a bad quality to have, eh?

However, that intimidating effect, has kept, many a man, at bay and away from me, throughout the years. Why is that, because there's the people you date and then there's the people you marry. And sometimes, it's intimidating to be around someone who may challenge one's sense of self.

It's not lame, to not have had your first kiss, yet.

While, you are in between relationships, what are your plans to solidify your likes and desires? Are you focusing on a career? Developing any hobbies? Strengthening who you are and what defines your own sense of integrity?

Takes time, to meet that special someone. In the meantime, what is meant about the difference between getting involved over fear and choice. When one gets involved out of fear of being lonely, it's a vulnerable time, where a person can become involved with someone that can take them on an emotional roller coaster ride or become abusive, etc. That's why, it's important to solidify who you are before not knowing the difference. Don't want to get in over your head, is the point of that one, in my opinion. And it speaks well, to my own personal experience.
