You are not a dork...at least not for this.
I think that you are a little lonely. Maybe you can affiliate with a college alumni group as a way to meet new people. Perhaps there is a great guy here on GC who lives near you and is waiting to meet you.
Unrelated question: damasa and/or IowaHawkeye, are you a couple? Did you meet through GC? Damasa, how are you feeling? Are you all better?
