    How to find a mate when socially awkward

    Oh, I've got loads of ideas too. I just meant when I actually think of being on a date, I can't even imagine the sort of stuff I would talk about. I guess it probably comes more easily when you're actually there...I hope. I used to do basic illusions every now and then ages ago, I'd love to do...

    Friends before dating?

    I have a similar viewpoint sometimes, so I can understand what you mean to an extent. People I befriend in my case seem to have a recurring tendency to treat me like crap, so I'm not particularly inclined to make friends and would much prefer a girlfriend I could really trust as opposed to all...

    I WILL LOSE WEIGHT

    This. I too have lost about 30% of my body mass and this is the absolute key I think. I was so unhappy being overweight after a while that it kind of drove me to become almost fanatical about working out to get rid of it - and that was why ultimately I was able to just keep at it for over a...

    Eye contact with girls

    Just curious, but did you give off a magical sign to let them know you thought they were cute? Anything I could add to my understanding? :P Because unless a girl smiles back at me, I generally feel like smiling at ladies is an excellent way to get myself labelled as a creep :(

    Friends before dating?

    I think theraab makes a good point - if you get fed up talking and hanging out all the time with friends, what on earth do you actually want to do with a girlfriend? As far as I can tell, a GF is like a really, really close female friend that you share a good chunk of your free time with, so...

    If you live alone, do you have any 'rules'?

    I kind of have a rule that I must work out every day at home, in my spare time after work. It keeps my mind from idle thoughts (which seem to be a source of irritation for me) and helps me keep fit and healthy, two productive results that are better than lounging around doing nothing.

    People always let me down. Always.

    Forgot to update this, if anyone's interested in how it turned out :) She came up to me and (after a really awkward moment) suddenly gave me a hug. Then she said that it was 100% her fault, what she did was unreasonable and she didn't know what to say to me to make it any better. She actually...

    I don't like people caring for me, why?

    Sounds like a mix of pride and low self-esteem. That might sound weird, but if you think that you're not worth being cared for by others deep down, it can trigger exactly this sort of negative reaction when people try to help you. I don't like people being charitable or generous towards me...

    How to find a mate when socially awkward

    I think Soph means there's the sort of "Hey, I'mma say something really socially inappropriate, lol" awkward, and then there's "I really, really like you but I'm kind of shy" awkward. The latter is the positive epitome of awkwardness, the former is not :P It is weird though, the more I think...

    Beautiful Girls Are Not *******

    Personality is completely seperate from physical attractiveness, this is true. There are some handsome guys/pretty girls out there that are really lovely people too. There are also some good looking people who are just ugly on the inside. It's that old saying: "Never judge a book by it's...

    interesting news report

    Most of these articles (especially from tabloids such as The Mail) are just a load of borderline scaremongering crap designed to depress for the sake of increased paper sales. It's a form of catharsis, people like to feel ****** about themselves in some perverse way. I'm not saying that...

    How to find a mate when socially awkward

    I tried out this "talking to strangers" thing today XD Sat with a girl in the library, after about 20 mins I noticed she had a load of papers covered in writing everywhere and I asked what course she was doing. She seemed sort of surprised but then told me about what she was studying. She was...

    Hotline Miami

    Anyone else played this? It's an indie top-down shooter/melee-er/strategy/stealth game set in a nightmarish version of Miami, 1989. I thought it looked rubbish from the promo material (guys wearing chicken masks?!), but then I looked at the reviews and they were all excellent, so I picked it...

    an observation

    Given our earlier disagreement and my recent post remarking upon my lack of relationship experience, I'm assuming this describes your feelings towards my opinions and advice as well as others? In which case: first, I've had chances to get physically intimate with girls quite a few times. Each...

    Why I say "**** online dating"

    I'm not "spinning" anything, Trent. I merely read your post and commented on my interpretation of the way elements of it sounded to me. In a fairly lighthearted manner, I might add. Your points about intuition (including those in your above post) are fair enough. However, just the phrasing of...

    How to find a mate when socially awkward

    With a stranger? Holy crap. Well, I'll try, but I fully expect to be glared at like a madman many a time, lol :P

    Bored? Entertainment Mega Thread

    The Chewbacca one is epic, accessorising with natural bodily hair! :D (Since my chest is worryingly hairless, I'd probably only be able to pull off being a giant snake or something if I went for that look >_> <_<)

    How to find a mate when socially awkward

    Hmmm, what constitutes talking? A greeting, or a full conversation? Just need to know the parameters of this challenge before I attempt it ;)

    How many?

    None - but my situation is distinctly odd. I've never been on a date, cuddled, kissed - any of that "normal" relationship stuff. I have, however, had some girls show spontaneous kinds of physical interest in me. Frankly, I wish that sort of contact hadn't happened at present, because it makes...

    Why I say "**** online dating"

    Come on now, Trent. This sounds pretty unpleasant, you make out as though all human females are akin to ghostly bloodhounds that hunt down unwary travellers late at night and feast on their meaty giblets. Online dating may well be a shallow arena. I haven't tried it, I'd far rather meet someone...
