I'm 21, male, and I have similar worries. But as for the part about just being cool about it and that you'll meet the right one when you're not looking: This is what most women around me have said (my mother, my stepmother, my grandmother and so on) .... and I've given it some thought and could it be - any maybe this is just my negative down-tearing SA talking - that this applies mostly to females only? I don't know about the rest of the world, but where I live *males* are "supposed to" act. Females may not be looking, but there are males that confront them and ask them out, usually not the other way around (I emphesize 'usually', that happens of course)..
Am I wrong? What do you think?
