He ain't going to help you make new friends or get a girlfriend; this earth is but a temporary place!" just like he said to adam and eve after they ate the forbidden fruit; "you shall earn your food by the sweat of your brow." in fact, when i think of that passage, and then of mark 10:17-31, i even start to get the feeling that what if jesus wants us to "work and sweat all day and yet earn absolutely nothing."
Triton, may I make a mere suggestion. I don't want to sound rude but I have a pretty good feeling that you act very similarly in real life as you do on this board. Can I give you a word of advice in regards to women? I am by no means an expert and maybe some women can testify to this but I really do believe that women are more attracted towards confident, believe in themself men. So, hold your shoulders back, keep your head up high and speak with confidence if you're trying to get a date. I think it might be more beneficial than the Eeyore thing.
