Cheers all. I appreciate all your comments so far, and hope that there will be more. I'm not one to moderate my own threads as each response comes in, but did think that I would jump in here. The thread, and it isn't anything about me personally at all, is about what happens 'before' there is an established relationship. Like getting to first base. Do we need to involve others to help us make the right decision, or even get to first base? I understand that as we 'find' potential partners in less obvious manners than in the past, that there is a sense of requiring some sort of security. And I think it's sad, but it is a part of our society these days. I'm quite like the ones here who would not want others involved in my own decision making. If there is any backslapping to be done, I would prefer it to be done once an established relationship has begun. Until then, any and all of the details are kept under wraps. But I'm not foolish enough to know that the scenario I describe, possibly moreso with women than with men, does have some likelihood of happening. It 'can' feel like it's one against some sort of team of people I might never meet that I have to win over their approval. Just because I choose to make attempts at meeting and relationships and things on my own can I 'expect' others to follow suit. My intent overall is just to get ourselves thinking about ourselves and talking. Hopefully this discussion does allow us to see our little corner of the world differently. Thanks Jeff
