Today's Conversational Topic:
DATING: HOW?
because i can't be the only person in this place who struggles with that most basic of concepts. all my exes have either been douchebags, nazis, or reckless hero types who end up dead. which isn't a stellar track record and would scare most sensible people away so you can see where i'm coming from.
and i know, i know, i could help all the old ladies across the street while i'm here, i don't need to go down the handholding route, but i'm pretty sure bingo club has taken out a restraining order. maybe i want to get back on that scary, scary horse. but here i am, pushing a certain decade, and i have no idea where to start. also, kind of still suspicious.
so tips! pointers! anything! no, not anything. if anyone says 'just be yourself' they're going to regret it. i did that. ex still ended up a nazi. blah blah.
so how would you get your groove back, cadelle?

also, there are no nazis here, it's pretty frowned upon. now there might still be douchebags but i can't recommend living your life suspicious of everyone all the time, it must be exhausting.
maybe you shouldn't think so much about it? spend time with whoever you've met that you like?

Though if you wanted a little commiseration I'd be happy to go for a drink.

As long as you think you've grown from that and want different you just have to make up your mind to follow through with that.
Make your mind up what you're ready for - casual hook up, dating around, whatever - and then go for it. Use a dating app, buy a guy a drink (or hell a book or something I don't think what matters there so long as it gets his...or her..attention), or whatever you're comfortable with. Try hitting on someone you wouldn't normally go for - or try just going for friendship and see what grows if the pressure is too much and you can't really wrap your head around it and get comfortable because that's kind of one of he most important bits.
