First.. figure out what you want. If you want sex or just fun.. admit that to yourself.. and then you don't have to waste time worrying about whether he pays his bills on time, and you can focus on whether he will suck your toes or not.. LOL. KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.
People in general appreciate honesty, but like Taryn said, that doesnt mean they need your life story (thats what we are here for). If u think u are ready for something serious, don't fall too fast. Take your time. If its meant to be, it will come. You don't have to rush it. Its really not that bad being alone.
Oh.. some of us ladies get lonely.. and we are flattered when a decent guy asks us out. But instead of worrying if he likes you.... take the time to figure out if you like him. Don't go to drag races just to please someone. I promise you.. its not worth it. Don't start out by compromising.. because he doesnt know you are, and he will think you like drag races or go carting. Be true to yourself. If you want a mate.. a partner who is better matched to you than the one that landed you here, find someone who you genuinely have a good time with.
Uh.. as I write this I am sitting home alone.. lol.
