Hi Steve I don"t thinkKevin76 attacked you. You seem little angry and isolated from your feelings. You knew when you said that to that women that you're going to hurt your her feelings. Perhaps you need to take a brake from dating and make yourself happy first, This way you can be happy about your date and the person you're meeting with. I think you had so many bad dates you're withdrawn kind of defensive mechanism.

I would take brake and get back to your core of who you are and who you want to be as a person for you, and not the women. :-)

best of luck to you.
