Thank you for the support. I'm lucky enough to have people I love in my life, however it's hard not having a separate circle of peers to turn to. What I want most in life is to have people who I've known for years, who I have a rich history with and can turn to at any time for support, advice...

These past few weeks I have been extremely depressed and anxious about my lot in life without a social circle. I am lucky to say I do have some friends, most of whom I met in college, however I attended school in another state and even my closest pals live far away. After a friend recently...

Does anybody ever wish they could just go back in time and fix all their mistakes? There hasn't been a day gone by in the past two years where I haven't wished I could just redo a significant portion of my young adult life. I know I shouldn't be angry at myself for making decisions I had no...

I'm right on board knowing that online dating is a gamble, but honestly I don't know how else to meet people. Besides, after lots of searching and patience my sister met her boyfriend online. Like I said, though, I don't go to bars and clubs, I'm not part of any organization, and since I went...

Thanks a lot everyone. BTW ladyforsaken when I said online relationship I meant meeting someone online with the intent to meet them in person. Not, you know, dating via instant messenger. Don't know if that was clear or not.

Thanks, Omnipotent. Best of luck to you finding that special someone.

I'm 25, almost 26, and recently started a new job as a teacher. It has also been a while since I have been a relationship and I'd like to put myself out there yet again. Despite my own social anxieties I don't see myself as a hopeless case as far as dating goes, and having been in a few...

I've been in your shoes thinking about some special girl all the time well before I ever make a move or, if luck's on my side, we start going out. The way you describe it, though, this is seriously interfering with your life. It's nice to fantasize, but the more hope you put into a girl you...

Hi everyone, when I started this thread I was looking for advice. I did not want people to go back and forth debating and then making fun of rape culture. If that's what you've come here for please stop posting and move on.

Wow, I wasn't expecting THIS many responses to my thread. Anyway, if anyone was curious I went ahead and asked the girl out. Of course I was nervous, but we were enjoying a quiet chat together and I pretty much counted to three and went for it. Unfortunately it turns out she has a boyfriend...

Thanks for the tips and support so far. Yeah, I didn't mean to sound like women are another species or something. For the most part I can talk to people just fine, but when I'm interested in someone I kinda feel put in the spotlight and get all nervous, almost like having to stand in front of...

I'm lucky enough to say I've been in two meaningful relationships in my life, so I know I'm not a hopeless case when it comes to women. The caveat, though, is how I ended up in a relationship. The thing is, I'm not terribly smooth when it comes to asking girls out. The two times I had a...

Hi, I'm new here, and I don't really know what I want joining the forum. Maybe I'm just looking for some reassurance I'm not the only one who feels completely isolated. I am not truly alone in life for the fact I have a great family, but I have always had a terribly hard time making friends...
