How many times have you backed away from a potential relationship, especially on CS., out of fear of rejection. I have and will likely continue.

Yes the cloak of internet doesn't in actuality ease the insecurities that we possess natuarally... if anything it magnifies them... thats why I like this forum... just nice to talk.. and get to know people...I love people

building walls and barriers-- during a potential one, is worse - mmmh

I guess it's one's nature to protect your emotions. As a man I have complete confidence in myself. I would wrestle a bear. When it comes to the awesome power of a woman.....

I think CS does ease any insecurities we may have and that's why people come to enjoy the camaraderie.

It's when one has to make that decision to go one step further as Leo is talking about (I think) that our insecurities come to the fore.

Leo, is it a sense of rejection, that prevents you taking the plunge, or rather that you may not really be ready to commit again.

Reading these posts, I'm getting images of a lot of males sitting at their keyboards typing with one hand while clutching their childhood's "blanky" in the other...shudder...

(I always thought Crustacean would make a great name for a Pope; just call him Crusty for short %D )
