Where's the "I don't need to meet girls/guys, I have my TF collection!" option?
I think my problem is more a case of "I don't really have the opportunity".
At high school I was seriously backward when it came to females, add to that I was on the bad end of the cool kids scale so I was NEVER invited to parties ... and of course had very few friends.
And those friends that I did have ended up leaving town for Uni. No point hanging around a small rural town anyway if you want a decent career.
Didn't really want to make friends with those that remained as their idea of a "career" is slinging bananas.
Hell I once had a former friend try to set me up with a girl who was proud of being a banana packer. Maybe i'm being picky but i'd like someone who's dreams are a little higher than bananas.
And i'm not one for partying either as I don't drink (taste buds don't seem to care too much for it) or even smoke and I sure as hell can't dance. Oh and I tend to be a little on the shy side so the thought of rocking up to a (or that should be "the") nightclub in town, grabbing a drink at the bar then going to chat up some chick and asking her to dance is just completely beyond me.
So even the few times that I have met a girl they soon find out just how boring I actually am as my conversations tend to revolve around geek stuff ... or they just don't get my sense of humour.
Plus there's the self-esteem issues where I don't feel i'm a decent enough person for someone else. Part of that stems from a dead end job that's going no where, though that's only for one more week before I start my new one!
I'm a bit of mix from shy to screwed up to just having no idea what the hell i'm doing with girls.![]()
