That's very interesting. Yeah, I'm always by myself all the time and NOBODY talks to me because I'm a "Loner" and they just assume I want to be left alone.

When this subject is approched, and I look at...well....pretty much any woman, four simple words come to mind:

"WAY OUTTA MY LEAGUE"

Seriously, after the heartache that I've faced after working up enough nerve to even try to ask a girl out, and failing horribly, I haven't tried to date anyone...And this is a 5+ year strech we're talkin' here...

Believe me, I feel your pain.

I can't "read" body language or interpret/identify nonverbal signals at all (Why is that guy smiling at me? Is that a smile or a grimace, anyway? Is he just being polite? Is he silently laughing at some private joke? Did I just step in something? Does this have anything to do with *me*, at all? Etc., etc., ad nauseam...), so unless a guy were really self-confident, and thus had the balls to walk up to me and begin a conversation (as, granted, a handful of males have done, over the years, whilst drunk), I'd have *absolutely no clue* that the guy in question had any interest in me. Have I missed out on potential happiness along the way because of missed or misinterpreted signals? Maybe, and that hurts. A lot. :cry:

Just start chatting up girls your not really romantically interested in. It gives you good practice, and might make you some new friends, and pave the way to finding a girlfriend. Also, what I did, was learn to treat attractive girls like normal everyday people (as in being friendly, but not flirting, or treating them like a sex object). They'll like you much better this way. :wink:
