You just got to get out there. It is hard I admit but it is worth it when you find a nice person to be with. Finding someone just takes time. Sometimes it seems like you'll never find it but you have to have faith that everything will work out. On a lighter note you could just take out an ad and say you are learned in Kama Sutra!
Maybe you are right. Who am I to Judge? I bet you are a great Chef. The food is varied there which is nice. Maybe it was just the places I went. Who Knows? Sorry if I offended you. Friends?
RE: do you like to rush it, or do you like it nice and slow
Slow is the best way! But every once and while doing it fast is the best bet.
