This is the beauty of blogging. Just from interacting with you on Twitter, I can tell you're a good person to know. I like that you're honest and frank about yourself, life, etc.

Dating can be quite complex (and very frustrating), but you are right that both men and women date for one reason: To mate!

I was in a couple of long term relationships during high school and college and now I feel rather disillusioned about dating and relationships. I've "dated" a variety of men since I got out of my last relationship but now I feel more confused about what I want than I did before. I'm thinking maybe I should take the same kind of hiatus from it all that you did and see if I can't work on building better friendships instead of worrying and fussing over having romantic relationships. I'm relieved to hear that there is at least one man out there that is more concerned with building strong spiritual friendships with women than being sex buddies or simply just trying to fuck them. Thank you :) Adam,

You inspire and motivate multitudes of people, including myself. Very amiable post here. I like it, and I concur with you on every bit of this. I'm a teenager, and I hate the stereotype of 'make sure you watch your daughters boyfriend because he's just in it for the sex'. I completely agree with your thoughts and am not in it for the sex, but almost exactly the opposite—to get to know that person, and share life experiences because that will stick with somebody and be way more valued. Keep up the great work man. -Jeff Adam,

I was always one of those girls that hung out with the guys because all the girls I knew were just too prissy and that just wasn't me. I'd rather pick the brain of a few of my guy friends than listen to the bitching of some of my female friends! Anyway, keep up the great posts, I'm really enjoying reading them!

I haven't been able to establish a deep relationship with a girl that I am not dating. And after we break up...well, then we are no longer friends. Anyone who says it's easy to still be strong friends with an ex (perhaps like you used to be before dating) obviously never went through the experience. I have one tidbit though. You mention your belief that you can't have a deep relationship with any guy and you just befriend them for the escapades. I don't believe this is actually true. If you are truly like this and believe in what you wrote, realize that there are other guys who think alike. There are guys out there who care more about getting to know the girl than banging her. Meet some of those and you can easily develop a deep analytical (and platonic) relationship...and of course make a great friend along the way. Very well said.

I'm sick of having to fight all of the male stereotypes out there - we don't all think with our penises (I've got nothing against sex, but it's not the _only_ thing in life!). It's great to actually get to know people and make genuine, lasting friendships. I totally agree, Adam.
