Lately, I have been hanging out with - or dating - a young lady. She is really cool and I enjoy spending time with her. Problem is that my heart just isn't in it very much. My heart still largely belongs to my ex, whom I foolishly let back into my life as a friend. Nothing is "official" with...

Greetings, I have recently joined a sports league that a friend of mine was in. I have only hung out with them three times but it seems that I have been accepted, to an extent. The problem is that I seriously lack social skills. Seriously. Most of the time, I sit there quiet and people watch. I...

It seems that I am unable to find happiness outside of a committed, romantic relationship. It's unhealthy. It's scary. I have never been a particularly happy person. Yes, I have had moments of happiness but I have never really been happy with life. In fact, I often prefer not living at all...

If so, how would one go about fixing that? My counselor told me that I am the type to fall really hard for people quickly. I agree with her. I am near certain that I will fall in love with the next lady to say "Hello" to me in a friendly manner. But how would you even go about fixing that? She...

Pictures from my Chile trip a few years ago. Enjoy Sorry for the huge pictures.

Greetings, I had been trying to start a new relationship for a few weeks via online dating websites. There have been a couple of women that I have been chatting with - nothing serious - but emotions are involved none the less. I have decided that I don't want a romantic relationship at all...

How much does fear negatively affect your relationships or prevent you from establishing one? I have been thinking about this a lot lately. Fear seems to be a big reason why I have haven't had many romantic relationships and why the ones I have had ended rather poorly. It's one of the reasons...

Basically, I was in a long distance relationship with someone from the UK for 6 months. It didn't work out. She is in another relationship. I told her that I would always be there if she needed - stuff people in love say - and I meant it then and still do now. I haven't had any communications...

"Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition, if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we like to dream about." ~ Pema Chödrön

Greetings, About a month ago, I was dumped by someone I loved dearly. Someone I loved more than myself. Someone I thought was "The One". I understand this isn't a unique thing - it happens all the time. This completely destroyed me and I am trying to put the pieces back together. I just need...

Greetings, How do you find the motivation to even attempt improving your situation? I am having a very difficult time finding that motivation. I barely have the motivation to continue living. I am near 30 and am quite lonely. I see no path out of this situation. Because of this, I am not...

Have you ever watched two strangers strike up a casual conversation that is seemingly so simple and natural? Engage in "small talk" as they call it? Well... How the hell do they do it? I... I don't really understand. I mean, I understand how it works in theory but I am unable to duplicate it...

I suppose I am not exactlly new. In fact, this is the third time I have been back here (under different screen names I had abandoned). I don't know exactly why I am here. I don't know exactly why I left. At this point, I don't see a path out of this lonliness so maybe I should commit myself to...

Hello. I have been thinking about this for a while. I am 25, single with 0 friends and little, if any, potential to gain any. My main concern is not with having no friends but with having no mate (and having not had one in these lonely 25 years on this earth). Of course, like most people, I say...
