I don't know why you would be skittish about meeting someone when the only thing you know about them is that they take naked pictures of themselves and write explicit prose. Apparently, that's my strongest selling point though. Maybe we can get to know each other better?
I'm not a believer in "...waiting for the right person...." because you can end up waiting for years. You have to go out and make things happen. Sometimes I suspect we all go through dry spells because we simply don't know what we want, so no one will seem attractive, but when we do know what we want it becomes easier to find the right person.
Going out and making things happen doesn't mean hanging out in bars or whatever but maybe focus on something specific. For example I enjoy photography so would sign up for photo events at local gardens, parks, and such and there would always be one or two interesting women there who I could meet. I've also had at least two friends try online dating services and they've been pretty happy about it so far.
You make an excellent point. I think I've just been so busy with all my other reponsibilities that I never take the time to have hobbies! But it certainly would help.
Online dating scares me a little. I mean, I have a friend who I've known for 3 years and we met online and I trust her. But, I'm always afraid I'm talking to an axe murderer on the other end. I guess I'm just paranoid.

That being said, after reading some of your journal and looking at your pictures, I'm quite nearly tempted to give up my paranoia. :)

And one I completely agree with. I'm just being whiny. I know whatever will happen will happen, I'm just whiny lately.
And if one of my friends were behaving like me, I'd tell them the same thing you just told me. So, really, I know better.

I love the Vonnegut quote btw.
