My experience is somewhat like MrsMxyzptlk. I think we belong to the same religion and may well have gone to the same college.
Although while in college I would ask people out on dates who I barely knew. I got turned down a lot. Then I got married, but due to some problems, largely on my part, I got divorced. I have only done a very small amount of dating over the last 8 plus years. I recently tried seeing if we could at least be friends again, and she told me that although she forgave me, she could not be friends. It literally broke my heart.
I did not go on my first date until the month I turned 19. The only woman who I ever went on more than 3 dates with was the woman I married.
