Something completely different.
I tend to meet most of my new friends & dating interests through existing friends.
I'm generally not all that good at going outside my social circle, and I tend to want to talk to guys (& sometimes maybe gals) who at least have a casual connection to people I know.
It may surprise some people when I say that I don't easily trust strangers or feel that I can relate to them, and that's probably one big reason why I tend not to want to meet new guys in bars or on dating sites.
It's recently been brought to my attention that some people I know may have issues with this. I don't know the specific complaints, or people, because only one of them has actually said something directly to me. Maybe there's this feeling of "why can't Dan find his own guys, and leave my friends alone". I don't know.
Anyway, I guess what I'd like to know (dear reader) is whether you think my behaviour is unacceptable. Maybe if you think it's an issue you can quietly tell me sometime.
Please don't be too suspicious of me. I'm not out to steal your date or co-opt your friend into my social group. If you want me to back off, just say so. I'm a pretty agreeable guy.
Ta.
Update:
OK, I have done a couple of fucked-up things in the past. I'll be better, I promise!
