Topic: WTF

I fail to understand. I always get hit with this feeling... this feeling of difference if I had a girlfriend.

Yet, I know it that now, in my age, it is not important, to say.

See, I'm not blessed with a lot of girl-catching talents, other than the fact that I'm smart, but that isn't a whole lot.

So, girls have eluded me, and such.

So, in lieu of that, I took a relaxed, not-caring-a-whole lot attitude about the opposite sex. Great people, and I talk to like one or two, but, y'know, that girlfriend thing is just weird.

Even if I did have a girlfriend, I am little knowing to 'social rules', so, there's an element of fear and the knowledge that I will screw up a lot.

It's hard to understand. Am I right so in not caring about such, or is it better to change this attitude and seek it out for the experience?

...and, to achieve such, I'd have to change...and achieve a good terms relationship with someone single...which is IMPOSSIBLE to find most of the time.

I'm confused. Not whiny, confused. How should I approach?

If it sounds stupid, then, like, it's lieu of my confusion. :P

Women. Great mystery of the universe.

In any case, I wouldn't activly hunt for one, per say. Just let one come to you, cuz they either like you or pity you, both of which can work.

Neither of those have stopped me. I'd say go for it, Len. It's a great feeling.

Yes, true, true. Kind of why I have that 'feeling'.

My attitude developed not because I decided on straight up, but because of repeated and constant failure. I just kinda grew apathetic, knowing that my efforts weren't going anywhere.

Look at it my way. You will most likely not be getting into a long-term relationship at age 16(?). Unless you're just looking to get into someone's pants just for the sake of "doing it", or you're fishing for status, with whoever might give you status for having a girlfriend, what's the point?

Memories, maybe. Experience for later in life, when it matters. It's not good to go into college being a relational n00b, when almost no one there is.

If you need experience with girls to be liked by them, you won't end up in a long-term relationship with them. If you do, I doubt it'll be a happy marriage.

And well, it seems kinda wrong to "practice" dating like that to me. But I'm a freak. Oh well.

Sure as heck seems that way, or, else, I'd have some possibility or hope of a girlfriend.


I don't mean 'practice' in that way, I mean, to learn the rules and stuff. Those 'unwritten rules' that you can onyl learn by experience.

Considering what you've been telling me about the people you hang around, it doesn't really seem like any of the girls are your type.

Did you ever figure that you might want to find someone you could like, share interests with?

I hang around...about 0 chicks. I hang around with guys. The girls in my school are lame, though. And I just ca't meet new people. I am so bad at meeting people that I can't make a good enough impression to have them like me.

I'm agreeing with Giantt.

Len, you don't need practice to find the right person. The main thing you need to be is fun to be around. Get more friends, learn to talk to strangers, etc etc.

When someone comes along, they simply will. You won't have to impress them with your l33t d4t1ng sk1llZ.

.

To be more fun, I'd have to change, but, I don't know how. I mean, I'm somewhat funny and stuff, but, like, I don't have the mad skills others have that would seperate me from someone else.

I mean, I can try and become better at such, but, like, there will be people better than me, and I'll lose to the people better than me, because they'll be moer adept at talking and such.

~~~

At your age, I certainly wouldn't recommend swearing off girls--unless you naturally swing that way, of course--but your current "if it happens, great, if not, cool" attitude is perfectly okay.

It is important, however, to begin learning the social niceties involved in relationships with girls. You certainly don't want to be 25, and have the social skill of a 16-year-old!

It won't always work, but start learning the fine art of putting your hormones in their place, and letting your brain direct relationships.

Why change your ways to fit in with the "norm", so to speak? Len, from what I know, you're a great guy. Humorous (YES, you are), sensitive, intelligent, etc. etc. You'll find the right girl when it's time for you. If all the females in your school are lame, then that usually means your Right one isn't attending your school!

Don't look for your soulmate. Let her bump into you.

Be yourself. Thats all I can say, you have to have some good points about you. I am a funny sarcastic guy, and I can make a joke of about anything so I start out by making girls laugh. Then I get to know them and see how it goes from there.

I'm 16, I don't have girls just hoarding onto me, but I have my fair share. One thing I've noticed, is you've got to meet one girl and then you get inducted in her group of friends. This year I met one sophmore at the start of the year, and now I know about every sophmore girl around. I used to go out with anyone, just because I wanted a girlfriend and stuff but now that I have choices I look back at all the bad mistakes and not so good girls I went out with.

If being yourself fails, buy a Porshe, expensive sunglasses, dress nice and claim you live in a mansion and that should help you greatly.

I'd caution against the "just do your own thing, love'll happen eventually" advice.

While that may or may not be true, there are other issues at your age.

One of them is learning how to interact with others, both socially and romantically. Society, I'm pretty sure by definition, is about conforming to certain norms.

So don't be shy about conforming to societal norms. Every lesson you learn in school about fitting in will be one you don't have to learn the hard way later, when your livelihood depends on it.

Decide, slowly, step-by-step, who you want to be. Then become that person.
