@tryingtosurvive Thank you for your words of advice, it's especially helpful knowing that this came from a guy's perspective. I have some guy friends who challenge that stereotype that's always thrust in my face, so it's not like I hate guys as a whole, I'm just...very nervous as to what could happen. I was talking to my aunt yesterday about this other guy I like, who shares a lot in common with me, and she literally said that even though he was a lot like me, just remember that he's a man and I'm a woman. She just makes such a big DEAL about it that it makes me sick to my stomach. Like what, does she think I'm gonna try to dress him up in a pink tutu, or that if he actually LISTENS to what I say and doesn't have a raging sex drive then something's wrong with them? -.- *breathes* I swear...but again, thank you very much. These experiences can be very disheartening, but I guess one day I'll be able to just pick myself up and move on.

@p_1994 Thank you for relating to me, I'm sorry you haven't been happy and I hope that you find happiness and love, I'm sure you will
