It comes as a shock to many, but I avoid dating like one would the plague. People, especially older gentleman, assume that every young man must “chase tail” and lock down that special girl.

I have been in two serious relationships. They were both with marvelous, beautiful girls and I regret none of the time spent with them. However, I do feel that I could have accomplished so much more had my time and focus been spent on other things.

To avoid more of these distractions, I have mostly removed myself from the dating scene. Until I am financially stable and have reached a satisfactory social status, I will continue my absence.
