Hey, you're not alone in not having a social life. I have a girlfriend but only one "real" friend, and he lives in another city. Sometimes it's really hard just trying to figure out the first step to making new friends. I haven't figured it out yet..

This I think is possible to learn. Something that helps for me is to remember to keep asking questions, and every question asked to you, answer it then fire it back to them. I'm a nervous wreck in social situations but as long as I can "bluff" confidence until I feel a bit more comfortable...

From my experience, I find that women are attracted to confidence, but as long as you have an interesting personality, a sense of humour, just anything that might generate some interest, they find a bit of shyness cute and endearing. If you can hold a conversation well yet might blush every now...

This may be terrible advice to any fellas who've yet to have a girlfriend/have sex, and may be a massive generalisation, but something I learnt long ago from my girlfriend (who is asian) is that there are a lot of very lonely East Asian girls out there. This is due to the men having high...

Thanks for all the input guys! @Stride That's a very interesting link! It's not throwing anything up in my area, but it's definitely got me thinking. I'll keep an eye on that site and if all else fails, perhaps I could organise my own group!

Hi, almost a year ago now my girlfriend got a job in another city so I decided to move away with her. The problem is that I've always found it hard to make friends, and although there are a couple of people at work that I think are great, I just don't consider them my kind of people if you know...

.....: just so you know..... SHE'S BACK NOW!!! :D :D :D YAY!!!!

Please don't give up though! I'm extremely introverted yet somehow I found myself in a relationship :) by all means try and find peace in being single. But to give up completely is a very sad thing. I've been there.

Haha we've had a long talk on the phone about the "things" we're going to do together when she's back. Afterall...we've been apart for a while..and we're only human ;D hehe

Awww thanks Lonely One. I'm 25 and she's my very first girlfriend, so don't feel too bad. I've waited my whole life to meet someone like her and thats whats making it all so painful. Hang in there. Good things could be coming to you! I never expected to one day be loved by a beautiful Asian girl...

Hey NeighborMike. you're a lucky person! there are a lot of lonely people out there that are not lonely by choice. If you're happier on your own, then just enjoy it. I'm similar, as in, I avoid people a lot and prefer to be alone, but after a short while I begin to crave attention. I only wish I...

@Takumi and 4OneLastSoul7: That's a bit harsh though dont you think?.. Some people don't have the confidence to approach someone they like in person. The bonus of dating sites is that it is clear from the start what you are there for. No rejection on the grounds of 'sorry I have a boyfriend' and...

wow thats harsh! so almost a year until you see her then. You're a bigger man than I. It pains me just to go a couple of months without her. I hope the time flies for you. How long will you be over there next october?

I had massive success with 'are you interested' on facebook, but real dating sites are horrible places. I avoid them like the plague, they just made me feel even more lonely

It doesn't sound good. If I were you, I'd move. It's tough enough trying to get a ladyfriend as it is, without going for a girl who will most probably never think about you in that way due to her religious beliefs. You are setting yourself up for dissapointment and it would be terrible for you...
