Just off that little bit of info you sound like an introvert and probably kind of shy to me.

People with your personality have the added burden in life of having to push themselves out of their comfort zone to actually connect with others and form relationships. I KNOW that's not easy for you and I sympathize. Just remember, if you can make yourself do it you're life can potentially be so much richer. Friends add so much to our lives! Just remember, to have a friend you have to BE a friend. Good luck

You're right. Just a few days ago I was talking on my local forum about an event I was gonna give up going to because I had a rough day, but I kinda forced myself to go and it ended up being so much fun! It might even turn into more fun in the future. In a way it's like marital sex - you don't feel like doing it half of the time, but then you get into it.

Thanks for the help! This is great, now I can avoid those awkward moments when I have to break up with a girl, get yelled at for having a "fear of commitment," etc......
DO NOT try humour on this site! Irony, satire, sarcasm, cynicism and spoofing are NOT welcome by the women on this site. They'll chew your head off!

This is a very serious topic for them. 35,000,000 single women pursuing at most, 100,000 men who meet their exacting standards........this is not fun and games! Besides, half of these men are likely gay.

However, expect to get the occasional anonymous encouragement in messages from those guys who are too wimpy to publicly support you and incur the wrath of this site's humourless majority. Usually they can't help but applaud however, when your wit causes them to exhale their breakfast cereal onto their monitor.

everybody gets stage 1
women really like stage 2
guys like stage 3
stage 4 and 5 even with marriage & kids often never come up.

This is a good system for women to use on the suave good looking types, since all five stages can be completed in a week and it guarantees success.

Its also good for men since few get beyond stage 1 (unless she gets drunk and they start at stage 4) and they are therefore saved from a life of misery.

May you live long and have lots of good stage 2 years ahead!

I don't understand the difference between stage 3 and stage 5. Those terms are pretty much synonymous to me, and both have to come before intimacy.

Just as women are becoming aware that you do not have to buy the whole pig to get 7 ounces of sausage. . . .
