Dear hev20:

You wrote: “My whole life I have just been made to feel like nothing but a distraction until someone better comes along or a piece of meat only worthy of a one night stand.”

There are plenty of men who use women to distract themselves; plenty of men interested in “a piece of meat only worthy of a one night stand.” It is most important that you learn to recognize these two things about men you meet in the future, and then say goodbye. But recognize these two things BEFORE you are used as a distraction or as a piece of meat.

It is possible to learn about a man before. Not after.

I do not have experience with meeting men in bars. But I do have experience with online dating. If you’d like my advice (it worked for me!)- ask… and you shall receive.

Or have you given up and want advice about how to get through life single?
