I know personally how you feel. It sucks!!! If the girls you talk to don't understand now then they sure won't if you have some sort of mental crisis. I hate people who act like we are wack jobs---I wish they would all have a panic attack!!!!
Bottom line: If they don't understand then they are worthless to you. There will be someone just wait!!!

Everyone has anxiety but most people learn quickly not to be open about it, which is why you are 35 and single. It's perfectly normal, average, to have anxiety, you just have to go with the flow, and remember women send crossed signals anyways, so don't worry about their approval, if you are clean, decent, honest and respectful, if they get a chance to know you they will look past any anxiety. Women have been causing anxieties from the beginning, do you really think if the world was only filled with men, any of us would care who had the best job, the most money, biggest house, fastest car, etc.? All we'd need is food, shelter, drink, a good fishing hole or golf course or whatever someone's hobby is, and life would be great. Put more humour and less about your "emotions" on your personals because that translates as "baggage" and only women are permitted to have that, even though tehy always deny it. they always compare men, but never be foolish enough to let them catch you making comparisons. A woman is an unsolvable puzzle, made all the more fascinating and terrifying by the fact we need them in our life. Good luck. The one thing you MUST NOT DO is give up, keep trying, and at least enjoy the movie or resteraunt if nothing else.

Well, I know how you feel. The trouble with I-dating is that people only look at your photo and if they don't think you're beautiful, they don't bother to read your profile and get to know you. A site Eharmony.com provides the matches for you and others based on common interests rather than just looks, so maybe give that a try. On your note about infectious diseases, that is actually a serious problem with all online dating. There is a new company call Checktonight.com which only allows members who have been tested clean for HIV/STD in the last 6 month. This definitely no guarantee, but most people have never been tested, so at least it's something.

Don't tell them until you have gotten to know them. I'm almost 45 and I don't tell no one about my depression or anxiety or any other problems , because there are a lot of people out there that think they are perfect and don't see their own problems. I can see a lot of issues from just watching and listening and if you have gone to counseling or study mental illness at all, then you should be able to detect the issues. However, my therapist has told me I'm in tuned to others and see or figure them out. I guess I can welcome this gift. The others weren't welcomed I just have to learn how to live with them. Your on line half the people on there have issues if not more. Think why aren't they out meeting people in person in a public place and it's very dangerous to go out with someone you don't know. I've gotten to the point that if I would meet someone I would run a back ground check. It is easier to date on line than in person. I have trust issues and if someone has a criminal back ground I want to know what's going on.

Don't feel bad. I let them know I don't have sex on the first date and many are gone in seconds.
Continue to be honest. Let them know you're getting help for your problem.
We're all nervous doing this.
