He said once he's getting counseling. OP, a good gf doesn't just appear overnight, just because you tried some advice from an internet forum. Good for you for trying. But results are rarely that quick. Settle in for the long haul. Keep up your counseling, and in the meantime, try activities, groups, etc. that bring you into regularly-scheduled contact with women. Get to know women gradually, that way. That will put you in a position to get comfortable being around them and interacting with them. Easy does it. Rome wasn't built in a day.

You just need to channel your experiences into conversational talking points. That stuff is interesting to someone. Some girl out there has done some of it too and is dying to share her stories with someone. And the way you find her is forums where mutual interests are discussed. I once found myself dating a girl I met on a sports forum where we were talking about football. We both lived in Denver and met up for drinks and had several follow on dates. It can happen. You just need to tap into your experience and explore how it may be of interest to a woman out there.
I used to be an athlete. I wonder how cool that is? And btw I have fed a Lion in a zoo before.

But is he? He has said, at various times, he can't afford counseling, he has been in counseling for 2 years and that he will never get counseling.

He has also said he grew up in a homeless shelter but also lived at home with his parents. That he never met his mom and that he lives with his mom.

How can we help someone who doesn't tell the truth?

idk, I was wondering the same thing. Do we really know he's in counseling? We don't know anything for sure.


*sighhhh*

How do I do this?
Trust me my man, you can't.

Good point. It'll never work out for you, OP, until you get over your compulsive lying.

Libido killers will possibly away the vast majority of your feelings towards gals as I find most guys 'feelings' towards gals is sexual and any residue 'feelings' likely can be swayed with distraction of activities, interests, and hobbies.

Well, if you keep up with the incessant drivel-posting on CD, you will probably never have the time to talk to a woman, which could work in your favour.
