Please don't get me wrong.  I do meet people, I do have friends, I am
not a library couch potato.  However, I don't have any dating-friends,
any romantic entanglements, and my sex life is 0.  (That is not what I
originally wrote about.  I know the difference between net.singles and
mail.personals.)  I don't know.  There is a tentative quality in all my
friendships, and I was asking for your help.  I didn't think I'd be
insulted by some of you for that reason.  I expected to be flamed at,
because everybody is flamed at here, but I didn't mean for my words to
be misinterpeted in quite that way.

Look, I can have reasonable conversations with just about anybody.  Yet
I do not meet anyone who might be willing to date me.  Ever.  The
people I meet are co-workers, and older people (married relatives,
etc.)  I just don't know what to do.  I am not trying to redevelop my
entire personality; I just want pointers.
