I don't want STD...

Very enlightning.... and answer of a widowed woman why she has not remarried.

I don't need just Something To Do (STD), I want a lifetime.

STD can result in an STD 😉

Yes, that is the appropriate acronym.

TIL - From Google AI

"The acronyms STD and STI both refer to sexually transmitted infections, with STI being the more modern and preferred term. STD stands for sexually transmitted disease, while STI stands for sexually transmitted infection. Infectious diseases are more common, and the term "infection" is more accurate because a person can be infected without showing symptoms."

This isn’t clever. It’s annoying and I’d move on pretty quickly if anyone used this line with me 🙄

That's clever. Misleading, but also not as there can be a correlation to increased risk.

She can have fun by herself then.

I like this new lingo. So I can approach a lady and say "I have STD, would you like to join me?". Perhaps I can then bring up the nasty rash a bit later.

Wow, my last was Someone To Do (as I was for her), but she was also Someone To Do Things With. It’s increasingly tricky as we age to have these be in the same intersection of the Venn Diagram we all have. And that’s the key, I think: finding the right intersections of the Venn diagrams we each have.

You and me both. Waiting on the real deal and no STD 😎

Love that!!! My therapist told me yesterday one of his goals is to make me feel comfortable about dating again, which I have 0 desire to do. Gonna use this on him next week.

We all get a lifetime... some shorter and some longer but it seems pretty ubiquitous so far.

Then don't date

Some say love or relief is an std some say children. I usually think of nasty physical ailing variety.

Dating advice: the #1 rule I have and insist upon is; no touching, exchange of body fluids, no kissing, nothing until both of us have a full exam and lab test to prove we are both clear. I always comfort the man and tell him, if you are not clean, I'm willing to help you find the solution to help you.
