The kinds of interactions I've described with young, very attractive women of this past year and a half or so strike me, from this perspective, as a normal part of the dating world. When someone my age and my history approaches much younger women for social reasons, I should expect to endure some rejection. The thing of it is, the rejection hasn't been so much the discriminatory rejection I experienced for so long. In other words, it wasn't the kind of rejection I can attribute to whatever my mental illness and whatever stories they've heard about me represent to them. The rejection has been just the run-of-the-mill, everyday rejection that comes with the dating world for a lot of people. Not everyone, but a lot of people, even normal people.
If I don't take a chance on that young woman I talked about in the last post, that's a part of the dating world for me, too. I often don't feel like taking a chance on much younger women, believe it or not. Believe it or not, I DO get quite sick of always coming up empty with such women, and often enough I do feel like sitting this or that "opportunity" out. All part of the dating world. It would be nice, I think, if young women such as this coworker I've talked about would refrain from trying to challenge me on a stated desire to just take a break from approaching women such as them for social reasons. I'm not writing these words as a challenge to her or anyone else to get me to change my mind and go for it ONE MORE TIME. Now, put that in your pipe and smoke it.
