"How am I meant not to be desperate?"

Start by telling yourself that sex isn't everything. Or even that important. It's awesome fun, but t'ain't the be all and end all.

I'm more interested in having a relationsship really.

Some years ago I met a girl who seemed perfect. It of course turned out she wasn't, though still very impressive. If I met someone perfect like that today, they still wouldn't have been worth the wait. So how do I meet the wrong women quickly Mr Dreadful?

Do everything I've advised you not to basically...

Come to the next German meet

German Meet? Whoops - I wonder if I'm supposed to be doing anything about that. This one will then be based on Xan's availability, will it?

we haven't actually discussed one

I'm worried my reputation would precede me.

Perhaps I should ask that "stalkerish psycho" exactly how he does it. How does he avoid being just seen as a desperate hound dog?

I suspect he doesn't. Guys like that rely on finding women who are just as desperate.

Then I'll just have to ask him where he finds those.

So Mr Dreadful, what is the difference between the right women and the wrong women?

When I left high school, one of my goals was to prove to myself that I wasn't just some loser who couldn't even get girls like my fellow students thought. That was over 10 years ago now.

Not being able to get girls is not the same as being a loser.

As for right vs. wrong, the only real answer I can give is that it depends on you; only you can know who the right person is for you. But in general the 'right woman' (also the 'right man') is kind, honest, open, okay with you being yourself and won't use manipulation of any form to get their own way in a relationship.

On the subject of the German meet, Xanatic, I thought you were at present in Copenhagen. But your PS says you're in Dublin. If it's the former, here is the planning thread for the German meet.

Well, my PS is about 10 years out of date. I'll have a look at the meet details, thank you.

We're planning a Belfast meet at some point as well.

Thanks, but I'm actually living in Sweden now.

So?
