Telling it Straight (The Dating Game..)
7 years ago
FROM THE DESK OF THE DRAGON..
I'm not exactly sure how to go about talking about this one, as it deviates heavily from my usual conversation relating to my art and commissions / convention-going and all; but..
Well.. I'm trying to get into dating. And while I know it might disappoint some people, I'm dating straight at the moment (despite what a bit of my art might have to say about my on-goings online.)
I'm not terribly sure how viable that would be even here on FA, or other places. I've tried looking into places like Pounced, but even THEY'RE gone now. And from several sources, apparently some other 'dating sites' are nothing more than bots and cash-grabs.
I've tried doing it IRL as well.. I'm not sure if it's just the nervousness of never being able to meet or connect with anyone in person yet or something, but I can't seem to find any luck in that means of dating, either.
That being said, I'd love to try with someone out there. Either comment here or pass along a note to me, perhaps?
..Or, if anyone has any useful advice, I'd be happy to at least.. take it into mind.
Thanks in advance..

Though the best advice I can give you, is to say out loud, and remind your self that you are an awesome person. Confidence is always the key, fake it if you have to. Even if you feel embarrassed by it, embrace it, remind your self that you are amazing. Make a joke out of it if you have to, everyone loves to laugh. Just always remember you are awesome.
The friend zone is a myth. All the best relationships are built on a solid foundation of friendship. Romance is the house built on that foundation. It can be scary to move to the next stage from there, especially if you don't want to make things weird if they shoot ya down. But if your friend really respects you, than no real harm will come of it.
It might seem easier to go for the romantic first and hope for a relationship after. But that in my personal experience, that is a bit more like taking a shotgun approach. You just throw stuff at the wall until something sticks. And by the time you are done the wall has a buncha holes in it, and the drama, and no way you are getting your security deposit back after that. Joking aside though really just be yourself and get out there and meet people, make friends and see where things go. Life is funny like that. Things are almost easier when you are not trying quite as hard. Now go get em! ^w^
