This reminds me of how I used to be way back when I was an incoming
freshman in college. I had had very limited experience with motos, in
fact, I never really went out on a date until *after* I had my first SO.
I used to worry about impressing people, and how they viewed me and how
I could get them to fall in love with me. After about a year of being a
confused type, I decided to give up on finding an SO. Surprise! Suddenly
I actually started having friends, most of which were motos btw, and I
found that having a relationship involves a lot more than just finding a
person that likes you, or just liking a person. It requires you to be
able to completely trust yourself to that person. If instead of trying
to find a lover, you try to find a friend, you may well end up with much
more than you could ever have expected in you wildest dreams.
