    I completely understand this
    I completely understand this situation. When you start trying to date, you really do have to be up front about your situation. It's nothing to hide, really! And most people act with pity just because they care and want to show it. But if you feel uncomfortable with that attitude, then there's no better solution than just talking honestly sometimes with whoever it is you care about. If you speak sincerely and from the heart and with kindness, you'll get kindness back!
