| Live your life according to your own -reasonable- terms. Pursue your dreams and passions outside of a relationship and maintain a healthy and productive lifestyle. Keep your mind open about future relationship opportunities and don't be too hesitant in at least attempting to seize an opportunity whe... |

Could I be loved?
It's not a question I feel I can answer.
Only a partner that I am willing to trust whole heartily can answer that question.
Though I guess if I never find such a partner then the answer would be a obvious "No". |

| yup. I used to think that there must be loads of other people who feel the same way and share the same experiences and the internet proved me right. Then I thought if only we all got together, we could build a community through our similarities - in real life and not just on the net - and forever di... |

| This is mainly for the guys and I know a lot of people look down on this (and for some good reasons) but the *snicker* pickup artist community can be a potential place to pick up on and practice the very same skills you were describing in the OP. No seriously, many PUA communities run weekend boot c... |

| Yup. It's easy to get paranoid about offending people when you can't read them very well and you're loaded with a heavy baggage full of past failures. Screwing up with other people isn't like missing a serve in tennis or messing up in a game...you rarely get re-tries. Not that I'm justifying clammin... |

| If someone isn't suave and charismatic, they shouldn't try to act like they are. But one doesn't have to emulate someone who is suave and charismatic. Emulating a person who is mature, down-to-earth, and affable is good enough alone. In my experience, appearing genuinely mature and affable are just... |

| I'm not a virgin. If I were that desperate for sex, I'd buy some. Even when I pay for it, women still don't want to have sex with me. Well, ideally , they should make themselves known as prostitutes first....... going up with a wad of cash to some random women tend not to work too well in my experi... |

Early twenties but feeling much younger. Male, single, minority, and living in the US of A.
Hard to say what more I should divulge before ending up writing a novel, so I guess I'll just leave the most important information - I am, in fact, lactose intolerant. |

| So a few days ago, I bumped into a bunch of people at a bar that I know,via facts verified under real world conditions, could not care less about me. Yet, they still, for reason that are theirs alone, maintain the facade of social niceties and reciprocation that may be a hallmark of a "Normal Adult ... |

| Sounds like trying to emulate the good'ol exclusive theory-o-mind. They do say that we suffer from not being able to process said trait- so pulling it off well would certainly stick the proverbial middle finger to the establishment. Only problem tho- When I think of what my suave, charismatic, and c... |

I am sure that if I parsed the many pages posted before me that I would encounter very similar stories to my own tribulations, but for me, personally, I thought I knew better all the way.

| I think the idea may be that "normal" individuals would find it dull to sit through the waiting stage between ordering and eating and would naturally like company to while away the hours. The food is not the attraction so much as the social outing itself. The idea may be that if you can't get said c... |

Yea I can relate.
Hard to know what tomorrow'll bring, tho in my case it'd be much more likely for a semi-truck to go blaring off the road and quash me than to see some lady in white embrace me. |
