Dating..?

Honestly, I really would love to go on dates, get to know people, do things together, etc. But sometimes I feel like in this overly-sexualized world, date = sex, going out with a guy = he will expect something to happen.

So I end up being a loner (in a dating/relationship point of view). I don't even want to try because I know at some point I will eventually have to deal with some awkward situations.

I also almost only have female-friends because I feel like guys will start acting awkward at some point. I don't know, I just feel like sex ruins everything. I don't know if any of you have ever felt the same way? Let me know :)
