This person sounded intriguing from his profile, in that there wasn't anything off-putting in it to me, and in that his vanilla interests seemed compatible, and he's in the same profession as me, and he even mentioned being interested in MTF trans people as well as females.
But I looked up his profile on another site, and from that one it sounds like he really wants marriage and probably kids, so so much for that.
And he lists "veganism" among his "dislikes". Perhaps that just means he personally doesn't want to be vegan, but it does seem a bit off-putting to me.
But heck, I could put "meat-eating" in my own dislikes.... hmmm. No, if I did that, I think I would be trying to send out a message that I didn't want to be involved with meat-eaters, so maybe he really means he wouldn't want to be involved with a vegan. Hmmm. Or maybe not. I guess that shouldn't be enough to keep me from contacting him. But the marriage & kids things is.
I think I'm too picky. I try too hard to find reasons for not contacting people. I haven't changed all that much. I could at least contact him just as a potential friend, hey. Wouldn't that be brave of me.
At the holiday luncheon at work last week, I felt like I did pretty well, socially-wise. I chatted with one co-worker while we were standing around waiting for it to start. Then I chose a table that had a few people I knew sitting at it (as opposed to heading for an empty table), and even took part in the conversations at that table, a bit.
