i find it difficult to even make friends because i fear rejection, sometimes live in my old little world and people don't get me.

Sadly if i wanted sex, i think i could get it easily just to a "social" site.
but i never just wanted sex, so i gave trying to be social.

So i'm here and i think i met someone nice without even looking, we started chatting over the smallest of small things.

But i am kind of woried that my social skills are going to screw me over..
i keep telling myself no matter what i should keep my distance cause i only know the person online.. However i have to consider that in person i would never have had the chance to meet anyone.

God i really do babble on!!

Sometimes it takes going out on that limb to help build your confidence... take it slow, explore likes and dislikes.. TALK about your concerns when you feel the relationship is moving beyond your comfort zone .... If a person cant listen to your concerns without putting you down for it then maybe it isnt the right relationship for you... So dont feel you cant talk about how you are feeling..

I met my Daddy/Sir online.... I then met him in person by going to a state I had never been to and meeting 8 people I had never met just to get out of my comfort zone.. I had really enjoyed my interactions with them online...

Does it always work online? No... Can it? Yes... For me it requires real time interaction but that doesnt mean online is not possible. Everyone has their own personal experiences to judge from... but you can only judge it from your OWN experience... Listen to your heart, listen to those little nudges when something doesnt feel right.. Usually if it doesnt feel right it isnt.. My first online experience was just that way. I gave way too much of myself to someone I hadnt really spent alot of time getting to know. It was a very hard lesson to learn.

I havent read the other thread yet but I have a feeling it will hopefully give you alot of helpful tips...

Good luck!!
