OMG, my fear has become reality. emo, you need to get out more, I'm guessing. It's hard for me to even make eye-contact with people I talk to in university...I wonder how I'm going to be "out there".

(Mar 19 07, 14:06)aw...no! i know it's tough but you have to say hi to ppl and try to be more outgoing. it's easier said than done but i went from being crippled by shyness to (when i was like 19) deciding i didn't give a wank and started talking to everyone and becoming outgoing. i met ppl everywhere!
if you like art, going to shows and openings regularly is a really nice way to meet someone.

Mimio's right, by the way. Take up something that has to do with your hobbies to meet people, join groups, or just get to know your co-workers.

how does one meet people when not in college? ever since i got done with school it's been impossible meeting people despite what radiohead says. in the past 4 years, she was the only new close friend i made. everyone else i know from college days.

You meet people from people. Pursue your interests/passions and the next thing you know you'll be surrounded by people you care about.

we need to find lots of ways to say, "this too shall pass", because that really is the most we can say for these kinds of threads.

i agree w/v5. i never played by rules since i couldn't understand why ppl would want to pigeonhole themselves in order to meet other ppl who were pigeonholed.

emo, don't play the game, that's the problem, be yourself, you will meet, it will work.
never has a square peg fit in a round hole

what JB said is right...a friend of mine meets new women every week on match, if that's what you're going for.
if you just want to meet ppl in general and not under that whole dating umbrella, take your dog to the dog park every day if you have one, or do regular, similar activities. you have to get out there :\

i've been out of the game so long i am afraid i forgot the rules.

depending on where you live and what your activities are, you might have to make an effort to get out and do things in order to meet ppl.

emo, i know it's hard now but if someone doesn't want to be with you and dismiss you thus, then F them. you shouldn't have to convince anyone to stay with you.

(Mar 19 07, 13:53)you do have a point.

I would to have a conversation with this person, I might be able to resolve the situation.

(Mar 19 07, 13:47)i understand where you're coming from, but IMO if someone doesn't appreciate you for who you are, why would you try to convince them? nobody respects a supplicant :\

something along the lines of "i will keep you barely alive until your children are old enough to have hope, at which point i will kill them in front of you" should suffice

(Mar 19 07, 13:49)ha ha ha version5, I was totally just thinking about doing that.
but seriously though, ek. You've apparently got the skills to meet a girl and stay with them for a bit. The odds say you'll do it again and it will be that much better because it will last.
This too shall pass. Hang in there, listen to Sea Change by Beck a few times, then listen to a Motley Crue album and go gettem tiger.
