Afraid to date that or this

I'm 16, soon to be 17. I do, however, look a bit younger. This has made a few people afraid to date me, scared what people will think. So I'm wondering, is there anything you are afraid of dating? Or, something people have been afraid about you?

Something like that wouldn't bother me as long as they are old enough in that state. Some states have 16 or 17 age of consent. Although now that I'm older it would be a bit odd, mostly because I wouldn't expect a girl that age to be interested. I look about 30 but I'm 42. My last gf was 18 when I was 32. But the age difference didn't bother me. I expect in some places it might be more shocking if I was dating a black girl, like here in Nebraska (I'm moving to Washington state soon) but it wouldn't bother me. I like shocking random people anyway. I would be more uncomfortable though dating someone of the same sex. Though I'm not normally attracted to guys. Although I would get a secret thrill out of dating a trans-girl who is passable. Like doing naughty stuff in public. Oh BTW, something you don't think about as much when you are younger. I used to think that all people just tended to be attracted to people around their own age. The truth is that your own age only has a very mild effect on who you are attracted to. The age range of girls I'm most attracted to has not changed in 20yrs. I don't normally find any women my age attractive. It decreases quickly after 30. I feel a bit bad about it, but that's just how it is.

Don't worry, me and a lot others have nothing against some 'daddy action', so to speak! Thanks for the answer tho!

Lol, the only thing is I'm not very good at the "daddy" thing because I'm more comfortable being sub than dom. I can switch but tend more sub. I like sexually assertive girls most but it's not a requirement.

I'm 26 and get told I look 15 -20, but that has stopped no one (young, old, male, female) from hitting on me. I'm more bothered by the these younger folk hitting on me, hmu when you can get your own hotel rooms and plane tickets lol. Afraid to date someone...? I'm not going to date outside of my preferences, and I won't date without intent to marry. No fears here. I always get the "you deserve better" comments from guys. It used to bother me, but now I'm like, you right tho. My salary and intelligence tend to be found intimidating. I suppose I could date someone with debt but I could not marry them, if I thought they couldn't pay it off. I'm am very afraid to get even a roommate that would use a lot of utilities. I'm very much a penny pincher, but I don't think I've ever gotten negative comments about that. Idk done rambling.

I like that, being strong and knowing what you want. Keep going strong! :D

An aspect about me that causes me concern in regards to my dating life is that I have a pretty severe visual impairment/poor eyesight. Now, I am not concerned about this over some fear that the people I meet will have some hidden prejudice towards the disabled. People are generally kinder than that. It's what having this condition entails that usually isn't considered that causes me fear. For example, I am completely barred from operating a motor vehicle, for obvious reasons, which brings in a dimension of dependence on the other that is discomforting, because I'm sure the first couple times they don't mind ferrying me about but I'd be shocked if they didn't ever get irritated with my inevitable uselessness in the realm of transportation. And unfortunately I live in an area of the United States where I cannot rely on bussing or the like to get just about anywhere aside from extremely dense areas. That's just one example, but I think it gives one a vivid enough illistration of my fear. Ultimately, it has little to do with my condition in itself, and more to do with the peripheral consequences of it clashing with another's underlying expectations.

I'm afraid I can't keep relatinship going or better said started cuz I never know what to talk about and end up making chat be akward and silent..
