What scares you most about dating?? (59)
Scottishlass: I guess this is for those of you (us) who've been single and out of the "dating scene" for a while.
This online dating thing gives us a chance to "meet" people we might not ordinarily meet, and that's a good thing when you aren't into the bar scene.
I guess I'm wondering if there are other people out there as afraid of getting back into dating as I find myself? I've met lots of nice people here, .....but, what is the next step?

You mean actually meeting someone in person??
That doesn't scare me.
The thing that makes me nervous is finding some one to date and then having that person react in a negative way to my son who lives with me.
Not everyone reacts well to handicapped people.
And life with a severely handicapped person takes a lot of adaptation.
But then, my son's care is my job.
And a date is just a date.
That doesn't scare me.

Yeah i know what ya mean. I mean if they react badly to someone who has a handicap, whether it be you or your child then are they really someone you want in your life?!

Yeah i couldn't agree more. Nobody wants to be rejected and i think if you have been lied to played in the past then it makes you a bit more cautious in the future.....

I wouldn't think any less of them.
Before my son came into my life, I had no understanding of handicaps.
Nor did I have much empathy.
But now I've been on the other side.
I've experienced how people avoid eye contact, or stare or just generally stay away.

I may be speaking too soon, but I don't think I'm afraid of rejection anymore. Things happen for a reason, and besides I can't get upset if someone decides they don't like me - after all, I can't like everyone either.

I have never been to dinner or a movie or a walk in the park or for a drive "online".. I tried the drive thing online one time. I was paying attention to the computer and not the road. Damn near wrecked my truck..
For me, the next step is simply ask if they would like to meet. It only requires a yes or a no. Either answer is not on me, it is on them..
Ask for what you want and celebrate the no..

Any man who is put off by your situation is obviously not the man for you. I'm sure you are well aware of that. I have a 1/2 sister with a severe handicap. Finding a man was much more difficult thing than for an average person...but there are people out there who can/do/are willing/want to cope in order to be with you. Hang in there!!

what scares me most is to see me and her showing so much maturity and balance...blahblahblah....
Well, guess what comes next... the same rubbish as usual.
I think dates should be to show all our nasty flaws first and there must be a rule: if you do nto show them at that time you are not allowed to show them anymore...
Then nobody will date any longer...

I guess. I've gotten all three but personally, i would just prefer to just walk up to me and ask me out straight. Its best to know where you stand with people in my opinion. Anyway sorry, i'm getting off the topic......

I agree. I mean the way i always think of it is there is bound to people in the world that don't like me even though i try to be a good person. I just concentrate on the ones that do rather than the ones that don't........

Hellooo Anne.. 
I think for me it would be having to give up some of my independence.. Having to make allowances for someone other than my children (and myself) .. I like not having to answer to anyone about WHY I bought (more) new shoes.. WHY I chose that (horrible?) paint colour..haha. I don't like the idea of someone quizzing where I am, why I'm not home yet.. all that kind of thing.. I'm scared of all that stuff... I'm scared of giving up my freedom.
