Misty, if that's true, you have plenty of company out there in Goofapotamus Land. The fear of failure is a common problem for most young people when they consider the relationship landscape.
"Is it better to have loved and lost or to never have loved at all?"
Old Billy really asked a wonderful question when he wrote that line...
The honest answer is that we are all destined to experience that dilemma and must each find our own answer to that question.
Being an old (very happily) married man I can tell you one thing that is totally and irrefutably true. No person can totally live up to someone else's expectations of them.
I'm married to a goddess. Scratch that. I'm married to a GODDESS!!! (And not just in LW terms either )
But sometimes, she disappoints me. Not anywhere near as often as I disappoint her, but on occasion it happens.
When it happens we find a way to work things out. It's hard (just as Belinda so eloquently said) but we are both willing to work at it.
The point here is that relationships require TWO (or more, if you live in Utah) People actively involved in making them work.
Arranged dates aren't the only way to meet new people. Explore every avenue open to you. Look past the initial impressions and try to see the person behind the facade. Odds are that person is just as scared as you are where the expectations are concerned.
