This. Because you've had run-ins with some seriously crappy partners doesn't mean it's logical for you to become someone with a blanket disdain for women. There are some lovely ladies out there, you just need to put yourself in a position where you're meeting them frequently. I don't want to...

You mean that sort of gnawing feeling every now and then that you should have a lady? If so, I think that's kind of a natural feeling if you're single for a while. I'm not even sure it's a conscience issue, perhaps it's hormonal in some way? I find it comes and goes very strongly and when I get...

This sounds awesome, heh :P If I ever have a girl in my life, I am now certainly going to preclude affectionate snuggling with: "Babe, I'm in the mood for some holistic therapy this afternoon."

Just a quick question for discussion: when you're "single", how does that impact your conduct when it comes to interactions with people you feel attracted to? I understand it varies from person to person, but I'm just curious on what everyone else sees being "single" as. I've personally always...

I find it darkly amusing that people consider the state of fuel consumption/unsustainable living less of a threat than world-ending nuclear war when such issues are likely to be the number one cause of a world-ending nuclear war! :rolleyes: If anything's going to eventually encourage humanity...

I'm, err, rather partial to Tamsin Greig. I would be Mac to her Dr. Todd. She's so freakin' kissable! *Cough* Okay, carry on...

While I'm a little younger, a lot of your situation echoes mine, actually. I also used to be overweight and now I'm not, but still lack the confidence. Similarly inexperienced with girls and find many give really confusing flirty signals that don't clearly lead to any particular consensus on me...

Thanks walley (and monkeysocks!). Appreciate the input :) Interestingly, there's another sweet girl that's been paying me a fair bit of attention recently, I think I will get to know her better and put things on hold with Girl A for now. Girl A seems to go out of her way to be with me when I...

Meh, maybe? I don't regret keeping to myself that night. I mean, she was pretty enough (if immodest mini-skirts and unnaturally weighty cleavage is your kinda thing), but I just didn't like the whole atmosphere at the club at all. It encourages a "sleep with anything" mentality that was very...

It's been a long time since I've done pure Physics, so I've forgotten a lot of the space-related material, but I remember talk of large Nitrogen-saturated chemical oceans on various planets that could quite happily house non-Carbon-based bacterial life and the like...possibly even larger...

I do apologise for the late wishes, but I hope you had a great birthday Soph :)

Hugs are surprisingly powerful, I think. It sounds a bit silly, I know, especially since we trivialise them so much in modern society. But I really think they are. They communicate a lot of emotional information you perhaps can't do in a standard conversation. A friend treated me poorly...

You know, this is kinda funny. In my case it was: Girl: "Let's talk." *Talk* Girl: "I really wanna see a movie." Guy: "Oh really? Do you want to see it with me?" Girl: "Yeah!" *Two days later* Guy: "Still want to see that movie?" Girl: "..." Guy: *Thinks to himself* What the hell was that? She...

This seems so true. I don't want to hate on them totally, but here's my experience: I've been out to a couple of clubs once. In that evening I had 3 brainless morons try to start a fight with me for absolutely no reason. I'm a non-confrontational person - I can only presume that since they...

I'm not exactly "abstaining" (that implies totally intentional isolation of some kind), but I'm now just of the mindset that sex is something that doesn't exist for me. I now don't look for it, expect it or even want it. It's eased my tension quite a bit. I still feel crap about relationships...

Called her. It was suddenly really awkward and I hung up after a short, stilted "conversation". Apparently she's just busy, so busy that she didn't think to just text me in 5 days to simply say that. Or even just say she didn't want to go when she saw me in person (which would be fine). Feel...

A dance and a kiss sounds terrific, that must've been pretty good? :P Err, we didn't talk much actually. It was weird. I think it was more awkward on my part because I didn't want to be too friendly if she wasn't keen on meeting up with me. I feel like I should talk to her about it, but this...

Since this thread is designed to stimulate some rare positivity from the angle of someone who suffers from the issue, I really don't see how it is helpful to try and "make light" of it like that. Just a note on appropriate content there. As a positive, I imagine people who can't talk are...

I don't believe she's had a guy in her life before, though I don't know for sure. Saw her today, she treated me as if I'd never sent a message. I wonder if she didn't get it? But I feel too awkward to ask. I fear that kind of uncertainty showed in me being a bit quiet and less "friendly"...

Well, she never got back to me when I left a message. Game over, I guess? Really strange, I could swear sometimes she seems really interested in me and it's like we're so similar and conversation feels like entering a warm bath. Never really been able to relax like that while talking before...
