OK, then you'll need to get over this before you can move on constructively. I've been avoiding suggesting this all night, but you have me up against a wall. C O U N S E L I N G. To help you over your social anxiety/dating discomfort. You make enough money, you can afford it. I figured you'd hate the idea, but you dug yourself into this hole yourself. When desperate, try counseling. There are people who specialize in social anxiety and coaching. I'm outa here, you're on your own now. Thx for yr end comment, btw.

Counseling is the sissy way out, it won't work for me

And rejecting any and all advice is just as cowardly.

Maybe some people are just meant to be alone?



I got my hair cut today by this cutie who has cut my hair before and there was just no doubt in my mind that she would turn me down if I even tried...so what's the point?

You're only meant to be alone if you choose to remain alone. Remember that.

The point is to talk. Small talk, talk about random stuff. Women will actually talk to you if you open your mouth and directly speak to them. Even if you don't ask her out, you still just had a hair cut long conversation about whatever with a woman that you were attracted to. That's how you break your shyness.

Some people clearly are cursed, and things just don't work out for us no matter how hard we try. We just don't get what we want.

But i don't think you are in that camp, considering you haven't even really tried. I've tried, hard, for a long time... and nothing works for me. So i've pretty much given up. But you haven't even really tried anything.

And nothing wrong with going to counseling, if you can afford it. I go occasionally and i would definitely go more often if it wasn't so expensive.

Come on, seriously? Even you don't honestly believe that.

You can argue it and fight against it if you want. It's true.

Maybe I should just focus on becoming a millionaire and going on one of those millionaire dating sites when I'm 35ish? I don't know how else I am ever going to get a girlfriend

I'm going to start saving up for a Girlfriend Experience. They are expensive but it sounds nice. Did you ever see the movie with Sasha Grey? By the way, i'm 31 and i still haven't found someone.

Do you play games? Like, board games, MMORPGs, Xbox live etc? Two of my girlfriends have found their boyfriends by playing WoW, one from LoL and a really shy nerdy type guy friend of mine found his wife playing board games at a card place.

I'll be 29 next month and have been single for years, with zero prospects on the horizon. So, I decided to get a fresh start and move across the country. I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself and using excuses to blame others for my bad experiences. Perhaps you and brahmabull117 should consider the same.
