I am extreamly shy when it comes to such things and have gone for two and a half years living in New England without having once gone out on a date with a motos in that time. I moved to New England because of work. I knew nobody in the area and still only know a few. I don't think of people who I meet who just happen to be of the "os" as potential romantic partners -- I need to know a woman before I start in with that sort of stuff. Making friends is a good thing to do and I try my best, but since I don't smoke, drink or dance I don't get to meet many single people of either sex. Most of the couples I come in contact with are uncomfortable with me ( that is, in my "age group" ). Romantic involvments are sometimes good for the morale, and there are some things that you can tell a romantic partner that cannot be told to a casual freind. I'm sorry -- It has been well over two years and I'M LONELY!!!!!! I'm also frustrated. The women I know who are in my age group (mostly married) all tell me that I am very nice and "rather attractive", but my environment offers no opertunaties to meet single women who have not been convinced by a group of "age-mates" that I am a nerd ( I had a political battle 2 years ago with someone very prominant in the group social structure -- I won but have been treated like S**T by all newcommers into the program since then. ) Some people do not have the problems with making friends that I do -- LF obviously does not; But to say that there must be something wrong with me just because I am actively interested in meeting a motos with whom a romantic relationship is possible is being rather brutal.
