P.S. this is a long post
Hi there I need some advice because I'm 22 and I've only been in two relationships. 1 in high school and 1 in college. Starting the second semester of junior year in high school I started going out with someone I knew since grade school and it was an actual relationship for 6 months. It was kind of on and off during my senior year but other than the first 6 months I wouldn't call the rest of the time a relationship. My other relationship arose from living in the same dorm with someone during my first year and during the winter quarter of my sophomore year we actually developed a relationship that went beyond friendship. Well that one lasted about 4 months. Ever since moving out of the dorms my interactions with the opposite sex has been almost non existent. All my friends go out to bars like three times a week and though they don't exactly develop relationships it is at least social interaction. My last two years I've been going to school, working and sitting in front of my computer. The result of such things is that I've totally become anti-social. I maybe go out with my friends once every two weeks and even then I mostly just shoot pool, drink and once in awhile head out to a strip joint with my friends. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. As you can see I know nothing about starting or maintaining a relationship. I think it never works out for me because most/all of my conversations revolve around sports, food, and computers. Yes I know women like confident men, which I am not and perhaps the only thing I've got going is a sense of humor. I also know I must initiate conversation more often. any other advice because I don't really feel like getting to know someone for a year before developing something. thx
