Crazy Pet Lover Seeks Same

[Prudence]

Apparently the Seattle area is notoriously difficult for singles. As confirmed by my single-guy friends, asking a girl out is considered equivalent to asking her to have sex, right there wherever you are. So guys won't do it. Everyone has to be set up through friends, or the girl has to make the first move. And then when I think back to my "active" phase, that was true. Either someone else introduced us or I asked them out. I thought it was just me being wacky, but apparently it's a regional thing. Not that I would have had a problem with guys asking me out. I'd just get annoyed waiting for them to do so (and wondering what the hell was wrong with them) and then do it myself.
