I getcha :0)

I didn't mean it to sound like you were suggesting abstinance ;0). I totally appreciate and take the advice you and others have given in the spirit it was given. I meant it when I said I feel a little less crazy and look forward to more GMs here and hopefully in the real world too. It is as much fun to write them as it is to read them. I also love hearing from other TgLs, like yourself. Funny, I feel so old I think of 15 year olds as little girls. I've had one experience of having been out with a like minded person, but I'm learning he is way more guilty and nervous about his attractions than I am. I only see him once a week at work and we exchange our thoughts on the subject, but he is way too scared to pusue a real friendship. I would love to go to the beach or the mall on a Saturday with a like-minded person and do a 21st century version of standing on the corner watching all the girls go by, but my friend is never going to be the one.
