Is anyone divorced OR single and 25+???
I'm single and about to be 25, does that count? I've only ever dated one guy, and that was for like a month, and the most we ever did was hold hands. I've never been kissed. Never seriously dated anyone. It's not cus I don't want to date, I've just never seen anyone and thought to myself, I want to date that guy, so I'm not really sure how that whole thing happens...

I don't know, but I used to like the idea of meeting someone and going on dates, but I am so used to "scaring everyone off", that it seems like when someone doesn't run away from me, that I'm not sure how to handle it.
My feelings exactly. I've just settled with the notion that I don't "need" to be in a relationship to be happy (which is funny, because I'm rarely happy IN them) and have been quite pleased with being left to my own devices. I'm 24, so not quite in the 25+ category, but I'd say a solid year of not dating with little interest in it for the foreseeable future should be adequate for a comment.
Now, I've got a friend who took my lack of flirting as a sign that they should put more effort into their side of it to "get me to notice." I finally got so uncomfortably put off by being called pet names and never my own, innuendos that I just don't catch (until after I've ranted about Diablo 3 for twenty minutes, and I politely am informed that we 'would not be playing video games' if they were at my house.. that took me a minute as well) that I told them to stop the hyper-sexual behavior or stop talking to me. That went very poorly, to say the least. I spent two days of texts trying to explain why my position was entirely valid against an NT "but this is just how the progression is" argument.
