Things are bound to suck when you take two extremely quiet people and put them in a restaurant together. I dunno. I used to be better at making conversation, but it’s been so long that the last date I had before this one is now married. (to be fair, she’d only been dating the guy for a month when they got engaged. Now that I think about it, she’s probably not married anymore... but you get the point)
Anyway, here’s a song that’s almost about cars.
Post cool stuff for me, pretty please.

I’ve known people who got married after a few weeks. It’s scary how people are allowed to do that.

She had issues with both parents. Everyone I’ve known who really truly resented their parents has gotten married before turning 20. I think they’re just eager to find a new family. Kind of depressing, actually.

Damn. I got quiet for a few years after a few months of binging on acid. Takes some practice to get back into talking. Especially when nervous.

Ah, yeah it is. And at least you went on a date. The last time I went on one was like... a year and a half ago.

Seriously. I’d rather go on a romantic drive with myself to think things over before committing to something like that.

I wish I went on dates. I’m still young but high school was uneventful. I hope starting college I can get dates or a girlfriend. I don’t even need a girlfriend really, I just want to be able to talk to girls without them running away. It doesn’t even have to be a girl.
I just want a friend.

Well this may be something to look at.
I hope your next date is better.

I know the feeling...
Luckily, college is the best place for that. I’m mainly in a rut because I’m not currently enrolled. I want to go back so badly, but I’m just not ready...

I’m really excited about it. I start next Friday. I’m most excited about being around people that aren’t my family or my dogs. All summer I’ve been stuck at home or work. I need people to talk to. I need friends that I can hang out with.
A problem with me is that I’m not a cocky guy. Until a girl starts to show interest in me and then I get cocky and scared.
Girl: “Slant6, you’re a really funny guy”
Slant6: “I know.”
*conversation ends and Slant6 spends the rest of senior year wishing he complimented Girl back*
Masculinity is a weird thing. At least I’m aware of it’s everprecense and not afraid to let it go when I need to.

Don’t confuse cockiness for confidence. If you are unsure of yourself, that usually comes off as unattractive to a person. And you’ve probably heard this before, but fake it as best you can. After that you just need to keep yourself open to new opportunities and hope for the best.

If “dates” are your goal, then when you talk to someone you’re interested in, they’ll feel like a means to an end. Be yourself and don’t worry about “getting dates,” or whether any girl you talk to might be willing to date you—if you’re only seeing them through that filter, they probably don’t want to help you out. Be happy with being you, and treat everyone around you like they’re human, and anyone that wants to date you will probably bring up the subject themselves.

Got one data point for you. Almost no dating in teens and early 20’s. Then two non-optimal live-ins then the whole “fuck it, I’m not doing this anymore, I’m not gonna have a partner, I’m just gonna work” realization. Not looking, not wanting, not anything....a month later... well, it’s been 25 years now. Who knows.
Don’t look for it, just *allow* it. Then proceed with life. That’s all I want to say.

Best way to make friends in a new place, especially in college, is to get involved. Join a club, sign up for tutoring sessions (to tutor other people, or to be tutored yourself), look for local volunteer groups that need help, etc. Take advantage of any events that your university or college hosts that are geared towards student involvement, like pep rallies before athletic events, fun days, seasonal celebrations (like at Christmastime), etc.
I was part of a service-oriented co-ed fraternity in college (verrrrrry different from a social fraternity/sorority) and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The people there were so welcoming and friendly, and as an added bonus, we got to help other people. Plus, being part of that fraternity got me out into the community as a whole, outside of the university’s bubble. We did volunteer work at the library, at an after school youth program, with elderly folks, and all sorts of other places. If you’re not that good at socializing, a community service fraternity might be the way to go in order to get better. You can focus, at first, in accomplishing the task at hand, and eventually you’ll start feeling more comfortable. Plus, you’ll be exposed to a lot of different kinds of people. Good luck, and have fun.
