Hi! I'm new here, first of all. I came here from /r/foreveralone and I am excited to enter a forum with one sole topic; about being lonely.
Not sure if it matters, but here is my stance at the moment. I've lived a very "boring" life, my father left when I was really young for domestic violence and I live with my old mother, which coincidentally had me when she was about 43, and has several health problems meaning we never got to do anything together. Never really had any friends that I can trust or rely on, except one that lives roughly 100 miles away from me. Never participated in any sports, and I do practically nothing in my free time except look at the internet. I've also always been alone, and I don't really know why. I'm just "that" kid that nobody knows much about. I turned 16 a couple months ago.
Anyways, this girl invited me to one of her small christian groups (by the way, i'm agnostic). Of course I said yes, also coincidentally this is the girl I've had a thing for a while now. I get my license in a couple of months, June 12th (assuming I pass the driving part) to be exact, and I feel like this is the perfect opportunity for me to see what I can do within a relationship. She has been very nice to me, and I have done my best to do the same for her. My problem is that I can't maintain a long conversation, making that uncomfortable silence inbetween.
How can I get over this predicament about maintaining a chat? And am I in a bad situation to even try to "make a move"? I hope this all wasn't too vague!
Thanks for reading, and I hope you all welcome me with open arms!
