I have to say, I've found some great guys through online dating. While it can be overwhelming for some, I find online dating helps to relieve some of the pressure that I get on a "regular" date. I tend to meet for coffee, so that way if he is a "no," I'm not stuck in somewhere waiting for the bill to come. Also, it actually helps with my anxiety. Since I often get panic attacks when dating--especially on first dates--I like that a coffee date is brief and I can leave whenever I want. And, because the guy doesn't know me and isn't friends with any of my friends, etc., I don't have to feel bad if I have to leave or if I don't call back.

As for why I'm not married, (and yes, I want to be), it isn't because of the lack of nice guys or lack of dates. I have my issues, and the PTSD does create problems when I'm in long term relationships. I am trying to be more upfront with guys I date and tell them about the PTSD somewhat early on, so that way if he decides that it is too much for him to deal with, I know that sooner rather than later...before I get my heart broken.
