  • Sounds like you aren’t “normal”. Personally, I think that’s awesome. I’m not too normal myself. Don’t get caught up in fitting that normal mold. It’s your life, and you may not want or need what most people consider normal.

    Dates should be fun. There’s a lot of pressure to “Make sure you do everything right so you can live happily ever after” but that’s not the right way to look at it.

    You’re just going on a hike with someone. At the end, you may feel like you’ve made a new friend, or you might realize that this is not someone you want as a friend. No pressure to run off and get married, just start with seeing if this is someone you enjoy spending time with.

    Attraction might come, or it might not. Just be honest with the other person. Do what feels right. Don’t let them push you into a relationship that you don’t want, and don’t let them believe that it’s headed that way if you’re sure it isn’t. You may never get past the point of “just friends” but that’s ok, continue being friends, and continue to meet new people until you find someone that flips that switch for you.
