I feel you on the social anxiety issue. That's basically my entire life for the last 5 years or so and it's only gotten worse as time has gone on. I always think that I'd just rather not go and try to figure out some plausible excuse to get out of whatever it is that I am supposed to be attending. I've even gotten to the point now where I don't like talking to the pizza delivery guy on the phone. And like you, I'm not agoraphobic--I just have a select circle of people w/ whom I care to interact.

Not many studs at art school, young or otherwise.

J- Excellent implied suggestion, by the way. On my next first date, I'll bring a camera and just take pictures of her all night instead of making conversation. THANKS!

Z- Your contingency plan could always include just cruising the art school for young studs and then tying them up with your veil.

NG- Why Jim, I had no idea you felt that way about me. Am I blushing? :)

(I'm going to chronicle as much as I safely/anonymously can. We should compare notes sometime.)

You need to get laid.

Please, apply your opening paragraph to that.

Also, I totally feel your pain, as I'm in about the same boat. Only, those people behind the search results e-mails from the dating service I used to subscribe to haven't broken my will. Yet. Those bastards.

I don't envy you the current dating scene. I always imagine what it would be like to have to do it again if I were unfortunately widowed (I try to have a contingency plan for everything - at least in my head) and I always end up taking the veil and a vow of silence but not chastity. Hmmmmmm.

I often have the same feeling before going to meet people. Admittedly, not dating, because that would be very, very bad for my marriage. But, yeah, putting an introvert in public with people without a computer? That's tough. Why do you think I bring along my camera? It's not for the photo ops, it's because it's a mini-computer that I can hide behind. :P
