Sectorgame

Honestly, lib, I see more potential for you to look attractive than your brother...

You're not unnattractive, but you do need a new hairstyle...

The way you go on about being ugly, I was expecting a lazy eye, sloping forehead, maybe a broken looking nose... You're not that bad off.

And I'm hardly the person to be advocating excersize, being the lazy sod I am, but I don't think it'd hurt. It's up to you, you have a good foundation.

Don't worry about how you look, I've seen all kinds of people out on a date before, you'll get on one eventually. I hope the same goes for me...

Lib; have you been turned down, or just never tried dating expecting a predicted answer? If its the latter, just try asking someone... If its the former, then, well... I don't know...

Lib just go out side and be your self

I could never ask a girl out, it would be the height of impertenence.

Frankly?

Myself is at times a megalomanical know-it-all.

I have never been wanted as myself, only what I could do for whoever at the time. I don't know who I even am most of the time. Even when I was a child, I was a hanger-on with my brother and his friends, because all the kids my age really didn't want anything to with me. I am in a perpetual holding pattern until someone asks me for help.

be more assertive, girls love confidence, although dont be too cocky, thats a problem i have sometimes...

Confidence is obviously not one of my strong suits. Any time I showed confidence when I was growing up, my father told me to stop being arrogant. So I am the opposite of arrogant. I am as submissive and relenting as possible.

I want you guys to understand how different my coming up was from yours and what you would consider "normal". I never really had any friends, I never got invited to parties or had buddies to stop by and pick me up for some running around "just because", the one birthday "party" I can remember was around the time I entered puberty and it lasted exactly one hour. I remember sitting and watching my father do paperwork for his job. Sounds like something that would happen to a 5 year old, right? I was 12. I listened exclusively to an Easy Listening format radio station until I was 14 because I was afraid my father would get upset with me. I didn't get my own room until I was in the 10th grade. Summers away from school were taken up by watching my father's blackberry patch for him as people came and picked them.

My life up to this point has consisted of putting my wants and desires in a box and forgetting them because there was never enough time for them and everything else I had to do. They've been put away so long they've faded away. I've been going to college since I graduated high school in 1996, if I was worth a single damn, I would at least have a Bachelor's. I should be working on a Ph'd for crying out loud. I suck and I'm not going to stop sucking anytime in the near future.

Well, with that sort of attitude..........

Aldo, you, and that guy are absolute legends. The very first thing I'm buying when I get back to Uni is a hand puppet. Will post pictures.

The only thing is that guy looks a bit too much like Swiss Tony

If you must (and if you have the right funding...) join a public club or something that you could meet people in and maybe the'll introduce you to one of their friends...

Since I'm in High School my POV might be somewhat skewed but it seems like a good idea on paper.

Side Note questions-What are you majoring in? and Do you have any hobbies?

Of course, there's also the internet.

My cousin ended up getting hitched that way (to a Texan dietician person; I've only met her a couple of times but she seems a decent catch). He moved over to Texas with her earlier this year, because she couldn't find a proper job over here.

Lib, I'm 16, and I can't say I'm a social person. I don't go out, because I can't stand smoke and loud music. I rarely get invited to birthday parties. Mind, quite a few of my good friends are girls, and even though my hair's longer then theirs, I don't need an invitation to a slumber party. Still, I'm not going out. I have no hobby's aside from the net and playing bass guitar. As for relationships, there's nothing to tell so far.

On the other hand, if you think of all the fun I can have with classmates just talking and laughing, I think I'm doing quite reasonably. If you just come in to contact with people in school or work you will get friends. You'll meet others as well, once you get a bit more confident.

Looking at it from the other side, what have you got to loose? A girl might laugh at you, sure. Just laugh back and forget about it. Emberassing moments are a part of everyone's life. Even if you grew up more secluded then some, I know people from my class who don't leave the house except for school, but still manage to be sociable during the brakes.

All I can really say is: Good luck, and try to be a bit more confident.

The sort of person who would laugh at you for asking, is the sort of person you wouldn't want to know anyway.
