So, how big a deal do you guys think it is that I keep my age a secret? I'm open about everything else, so it doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I've had people tell me it's stupid to do, and I've had people compliment me, tell me it's refreshing to have a man doing that, as women have been "fudging" their ages for, well, ages!
I really find that when I don't acknowledge my age, I don't feel my age; I don't act my age; I can be anything I want to be. I feel like age (as well as profession, or college education) is too limiting, and people tend to "categorize" you based on that info. ("When you label me, you negate me." - Soren Kierkegaard)
The reason I bring this up is that, yet again, there are a lot of "occurances" popping up right now telling me that internet dating might be the best (only?) way for me to really start dating, finding someone worthwhile. I suppose this question isn't really that important, because if I'm upfront about my age not being accurate in my profile, and explain why, it will "weed out" people who aren't cool with it. I mean, the last three people I've dated didn't know, and two of those relationships lasted years, so I know at least *some* women don't care about age.
I'm just getting frustrated again. I'm getting "antsy" again. I want a stable job; I want to get out of my house; I want to know that wherever I am, I'm going to be there for a while. I want to date, to find someone, but i don't feel it's fair to do that when I've no idea how long I'm going to be around. Which brings up a question - why do I have to be such an "honorable" guy when it comes to that? Why can't I be more like everyone else and just be selfish & go for what I want without all of this concern for other peoples' feelings? I'm really growing tired of this self-imposed solitude.
I'm becoming lonely again.
