When you're 20, the world is definitely overcrowded with idiots. People your age are still stumbling around, trying to figure out who they are, which sounds like something you have figured out already.

A lot of guys have the idea that they're not mature enough for a relationship, so they should get their physical jollies and move on. As you grow older, they'll settle down and start figuring out that they want more out of life (most of them, that is).

Maintain your self-respect and don't change who you are for someone else. Eventually, you'll find someone who appreciates that.

It's good to know I'm on the right track. Thank you.

My Personal Forum

My name is Amanda and I'm 26 years old. I'm currently studying electrical engineering. Armed with a fairly odd sense of humour and a sunny outlook on life, I'll take on just about anything. I'm also cussedly stubborn, which has its ups and downs. Things get tough sometimes, and I've never been one to run from it.

In my last 8 years with Advicenators, I've gone from honours student to failing out of university (and getting back on top again!), from single to married, from tenant to homeowner.

Until lately, I have been struggling with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and OCD, which had basically ruined my life and taken just about everything from me. I'm thankful every day for every experience I've had because of this ordeal, because it's helped to make me who I am today. Things like that really make you appreciate what you do have. Now that I'm back in work and school and starting to become myself again, I couldn't be happier. I credit Advicenators with saving my life back when I was a teenager, which is a big part of why I'm still here.

I won't necessarily give you the answers you want to hear, but I'll always be honest and do my best to help.
