| I'm a senior in college and I am extremely frustrated and disillusioned with life in general. You see... I have busted my arse in college... I have made good grades, volunteered for things relevant to what I want to do career-wise, and have supplemented my classroom learning with a lot of independen... |

| And sometimes these things happen when you least expect it. Thanks for the kind words, but the part I quoted is the difference between being a woman and being a man. If you are a man, relationships just dont happen. You have to take initiative. Women sometimes ask men out I guess, but I dont see th... |

I am 28 and have never had a girlfriend, despite putting in a lot of effort to connect with women. I'm not a nerd living in... |

| The employer person should just have shown you how to unfold the table, rather than act in that condescending manner. That's what I would have done. Please don't put the weight of the world on yourself because of some condescending idiot. Intolerance and misunderstanding, alas, is part and parcel o... |

| You sound like a normal teenager to me. Don’t sweat it. Relationships are supposed to be volatile at your age. That’s why I’m never allowing my kids to date.
