OK, so something completely different here; for once not a discussion on heavyweight political issues, the U.S., Islam or anything controversial, but a topic that's pretty much more rooted in everyday life; dating.
Granted, mine hasn't exactly been good, but this thread isn't a "let's-moan-about-our-dating-life" type thing, it's a discussion on it.
As it is, my attempts in the past have never worked; I've always ended up remaining friends with the individual in question ("friendzone" is a little too clichéd a word here) or they've nearly always been taken, or lived too far away from me. (Well, I can't drive, for medical reasons I won't go into here).
Anyhow, I've decided to reboot my dating confidence (excuse the cliché but it's apt in this case!) and start being more proactive about it; in the past I'd let opportunities slip by being too involved with other things or work and travel.
Either way, I've started to look at the different options about dating; online dating I've ruled out (too much risk financially/safety-wise, malware and spam risks) and am looking at different activities as a way of meeting people. Work is too risky anyway.
I am disabled, not physically (I have a neurological condition), so that probably makes it a bit harder.
This thread is open, whatever your orientation; hetero- , homosexual, transsexual, LGBT, I don't
but that's because I haven't had the greatest of lucks at dating either
