Answer 1

Hey Mikey -

Evidently, no one read the answers on the same question that was asked by a female. If they had, I don't believe they would of responded the same way if they did.

**By observation only**

From the answers that were posted by women to your question, have sort of stereotyped the male thinking you should of already had sex by now. Where as, the answers that were answered by women to the same question that was asked by a female, that it's okay to wait, she is just being selective.

From the answers that were posted by men to your question, have basically implied the "code among males". Meaning, if you haven't had any for a while you're not "man enough". Where as the answers that were posted by men to the same question that was asked by a female, that it's okay to wait as well, she's probably just insecure about herself.

Let me clue you in on something, take a look at my most recent question......and let me answer. From the female perspective, it's okay, just relax, take your time, and do some deep breathing exercises. Based on the fact that I am a single mom, and I am a work-aholic. With that being stated, I choose my friends wisely. From the male perspective, I have had a certain male tell me (not on Yahoo! Answers) before that with me being a single mom that I have "extra baggage", and that would be the main reason why a man wouldn't want to ask me on a date. With a comment like that, yes, I was insecure for quite a while.

So to answer your question, 'it's okay, just relax, take your time, and do some deep breathing exercises.'.....

No, you are not lame.

Answer 2

i do no longer think you forsst of all and 2nd confident this is enormously lame (to no longer be mean) yet absolutely everyone at ANY age can discover love (or a date) so circulate accessible, there are various human beings searching for somebody to circulate out with everywheres the food market the interior of sight bar the mall a pizza hut you basically gotta look and be useful, self belief is fundamental! reliable luck!

Answer 3

Have you tried asking someone out? That's usually the first step. Not even a high school dance? You're only lame if you aren't happy about it and you don't get out there and start dating.

Answer 4

No. Different people mature and move thru life at different ages. Just because you are not everyone else, doesn't mean there is something wrong with you.

I don't understand people who say "Be yourself," "Don't worry what other people think of you," "It's your life," etc., etc., etc. and then will tell someone they're lame because he doesn't fit their cookie-cutter idea of when someone should date--or whatever.
