Yeah it sucks but its better to happen now instead of later. After a few days you'll back in the swing of things and be able to be back in the hunt trust me.

Problem was, I never could hunt in the first place. I'm seriously a social retard. I have no ****** clue how to pick up a girl. We met by chance. I'm a freshman on campus, so I know no one but the people I graduated with (about 4), and they're all dating people right now.

Dude, you are just emotional right now. Honestly, I feel the same way, but somehow, some freaking way, the right one comes along when you are ready for it. God knows I was shocked when it happened for me.

<man-slap on back>

Thanks man. I'm deadly serious though. All of my friends tell me that too. "Colin, when it comes to all things social, you a ****** retard" is what one said to me a couple of weeks ago. I laughed it off then. Now I'm not.

Well, there are ways to change this. Start by just trying to be outgoing, meeting new people on campus, even if you feel really REALLY awkward. It will pay off if you can force yourself to become better at the social game, though it will be insanely hard at first.

Just to let you know I'm serious about this, I was home-schooled and had no knowledge of the workings of the world until I got dumped out. I learned really fast. It can be done, man. :)

We're both 18...


:eek:

6 months and only being 18 is pretty tough. You'll get over it. Just be thankful you found out now and not when you were like 1.5 years into it.

The first step to fixing it is admitting you have a problem. Seriously its never hopeless, at at least now you have incentive to try harder. You gotta figure that if you can take time to work on your social skills, you can improve a little, and even a small improvement can help you meet someone just a little better than what you had before.

She could have at least had the decency to break up with you earlier. Still better that you found out the way you did rather than walking in on her getting boned by some other dude.

Never had sex. I'll go ahead and say it on ATOT even though I know I'll regret it. I'm a virgin. Probably stay that way until marriage...

Hendrix did indeed have it right...

Boy, you'll get made fun on this one, but in this instance, it was right thing, now you can feel as a winner.

Ah. So you denied her the dick, and she went and got it somewhere else. Now it all falls into place.

Play it loud. Turn it up to eleven. It will make you feel much better.

Don't be a jackass. You don't have to have sex to be faithful. :roll:

She will indeed cheat on the next guy. And I promis you there will be a time in the not to distant future when you'll look back and and thank God that she dumped you. That woman would have ruined your life.

Haha you sound just like me. I'm still home schooled (sophomore), and I felt so awkward, I didn't have any friends, much less a gf. But then, I decided I needed to be more outgoing, so I forced myself to talk to people. Yes it was hard, and felt very strange at first, but I had a girlfriend in 2 months believe it or not, unfortunately, we broke up after 3 weeks and she had a new boyfriend in 2 days with whom she broke up with in 2 weeks, and had another one a day later, who cheated on her, but yeah... that's not the point. And yes I felt "empty", I know exactly what you mean, but I got over it, you will too, and I'm back on the hunt again :D. so just go for it man, after all, life's too short to waste.

lol...you will know empty much better when you are used to seeing a girl virtually every day of your life for three years of your life and then one day...not.

I couldn't even imagine what life is like for older folks who have lived their lives together for fifty+ years together and then one dies. :(
