You are pretty young to be worrying about your age, but then, you are wise to know that life is short. How many dates have you really been on? Seriously, probably not as many as you could have been on if you spent less time worrying and more time doing. People can smell desperation and low-esteem a mile away and neither are sexy. What do you love about life and yourself? Concentrate on being the man you want to be and the girls will take notice. Chances are that you have rejected your share of women, but you are not thinking about them, only the ones you wanted who didn't seem to be into you. Also, don't blow off being just friends with a woman. You may meet and fall in love with her cousin or best friend. Keep your options open, but don't let finding a woman be your focus. You have heard, "If you build it, they will come." Build yourself up man! They will come!

straight forward and to the point...
i wish i could give you a rating of 10.
thanks

"Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person they are almost indistinguishable. To say something you value deeply to another and to have him or her value it equally by listening to it carefully and apppreciatively is the most universal way of exchanging social interest or demonstrating affection." David Augsburger, CARING ENOUGH TO HEAR AND BE HEARD.


All sincere persons will be given thoughtful examination and reply. Please be specific about your situation as it applies to your question, the applicable information and facts necessary for me to properly assess your situation and give you the benefit of my knowledge and experience, which includes: experience/education with mentoring, relationship study, self help, spirituality, poetry, literature, philosophy, psychology, color theory, teaching, parenting, and debate that will be used to your advantage. I am concerned with offering an objective and realistic perspective more than ratings, because this will help YOU. Artificial sweetness is found in diet soda, not in my advice. If you feel that I did not understand your question or need more specifics to help, please let me know, but while all truth is subjective, questioners should be mature enough to hear answers not necessarily agreed with. If you are only looking for someone to tell you just what you want to hear, then you may not be ready for my advice. I believe in personal responsibility, self and other awareness and your power and ability to recreate and redirect your own life. All our misery and joy begins and ends within ourselves, but our willingness to be open can bring the positive or negative energy we seek. If you or someone you know is open to positive help, the resources and caring individuals needed are available now.

All our motivations stem from two: Love or Fear. When in turmoil or indecision, ask yourself from which of these you are acting. If you want an honest response outside of yourself, you need to first be honest within yourself. Bless you on your journey!
