·the results of this poll may be a feature of the average age of members. We seem to have many of the under 25 variety right now.
Also, what about a category for those of us who dated often, and have been married more than once? Nobody cares about us.....
:shock:

·While sticking to my guns on the "age" issue possibly skewing the results here..........I do actually have other thoughts on the issue. For me - dating, interacting with others who I may be attracted to.....has usually been helpful as far as my DP experience. Being with somebody I have feelings for, emotional or physical or both, seems to have the effect of drawing me up out of myself.
I remember when I first became DP: one of the effects was that I seemed to become less shy. As if I didn't much care anymore what people thought of me, how I appeared, etc. I no doubt lost some self confidence, but at the same time gained the advantage of knowing that I was less likely to be hurt by another person. This somehow had the effect of allowing me to be in more situations where emotional attachment became possible.
When I feel something for another person, I feel much more "me."
Again, I can only speak for myself, but love is something that can transcend DP/DR.
This benefit has also caused problems over the years.
