Afraid of being alone forever?
you're likely get use to it. I crave cuddling to sleep. i admit the nights that one girl was here I kept waking up through out the night. I think its just being use to sleeping alone for 20 plus years. building it down next to the grocery store out in my area.
kraftiekortie
her name is likely from a show called sponge bob square pants, in the show theres a kids restaurant they go to called goofygoobers
The ones I talk to online know I'm interested and they seem to really like me.
why not date them then?
Because they live across the Atlantic Ocean.

She wants me to rent a bigger house, which seems like a lot of commitment. Commitment is scary. Although if she moves in to escape her abusive family I could use that as leverage with the subsidized housing commission. Also she said she wants me to give her two kids. That scared the crap out of me

Didn't you just meet ten days ago? Seems a bit early to even really know her, let alone stressing about commitment and making babies. Relax and have fun

Oh, gosh. I'd recommend being together at least a year before moving in together, and at least a few years before bringing children into the world. That is scary, I would be scared too. I don't know if I would want to be someone's escape route out of an abusive situation. I don't think that's a very healthy beginning. I'd be very cautious.
I think there are lots of ways to help people out of abusive situations without having them move in and start a family with you. If she's already talking about children, be extra careful with sex, please. I was a teen parent because I thought I was 'going to escape my abusive family' and 'have love and a real family with my new man' at the time and geez that really screwed up my entire life and I'm still paying for it emotionally. Be careful. x
Hello, goofygoobers! I am new here and happened to see your post. I want to let you know that you are definately not alone. I have been single my entire life so far and, trust me, I am beyond tired of it. I have tried countless times to ask girls out on dates, and it always ended up with the dreaded "no." I never understood why I have trouble getting to have, even, a first date, but enough about that. I saw your pictures on your post. You are definately not unattractive. I think that you are very pretty, actually. It's any guy's loss who doesn't think that you are pretty. Don't give up! Someone will want to be with you, love you, and will take care of you for your entire life! I would be honored to enjoy getting to know you on here! Please feel free to message me anytime! Have a wonderful day and night, all the time!! !
I know I'll be alone forever. I could hardly be less popular.
It's not a rare problem either, I predict within two decades we'll have robotic lovers.
It's easier to make robotic lovers than it is to reverse the breakdown of society which has been ongoing for several generations now. A lot of people are reaching the point where they have to admit they're just a slave to the economic system and will never get to experience happiness.
On the plus side, the billionaires of the world have more billions than ever. I don't know if anybody really loves them, but at least they're not alone.

I suggested to her that I could have a vasectomy but she said then I wouldn't be a real man.
I went to see her last night and she didn't look that bad. She just looked very ordinary. It's just that when I worry about something I exaggerated it in my mind so in my mind she became the Beast of Burma. She's not that bad, I mainly need to boost her confidence.

Oh and goofygoobers, sorry for going off topic on your thread. There are a lot of single guys here so perhaps if you revealed which city or state you lived in one of them would ask you out. Not me though, I don't live in America.

hello googygooobers, I see that a lot of people here have been given you greats advices, I think that before seeking for someone you have to love yourself, the desire to be with someone can lead you to someone that will take advantage of all that love , please take care. I speak from experience, I had 6 boyfriends, I left the relationships with wounds to the soul, now I am so afraid to give another opportunity to love, I always been alone and I thought to find someone to fit in somewhere, great mistake, but it true than now I am more strong, sure of myself and happy than I've ever been, because despite being all alone, I have no friends or skills to make them and I do not feel really attached to my family, but, do you know what? it is not terrible, here there are a lot of people who understand you and don't judge you, it is much more than what I had at your age, please don't be depressed, I learned that even though things are not perfect, you can always find things in this life worthwhile, like you.

You're stay way too long to conclude that.
As for me, yes, and it's understandable for my age I guess.
One advice I can give you, college/university is a good opportunity and place to meet like-minded, half of my colleagues there got married with people they met there.
After graduation, things become harder and chances to meet that amount of people is much slimmer.
And if they never ask you, start to get used to ask them out.

If I had stuck with my studies I could've gotten to know her better more gradually.
I have to say night school is a much colder, more anonymous experience. No one goes there to socialize. You don't make friends at night school like you do in college. I really missed the boat on that one.

I can't ever find anything to help me. I guess I'm stupid.

@ Cafeaulait
What? All over the Internet? No... I've looked for long periods of time, nothing especially useful.
There is some stuff here and there, but it's all very hard to understand, and very hard to remember.
Most body language tutorials seem to be made for people that already have an instinctual understanding of it.
And, as I read about body language, I feel myself getting very nervous that people are misreading me all the time.
As I read it, I can't help but think to myself, how in the world do most people rely on this BS body language system?
It's like they think they can read your frickin' mind almost!
But not mine. And I can't read theirs.
But, they think they can read my mind... not cool, I hate when people are wrong about me.
Maybe there is some way to learn body language, I haven't found it. But I have looked very hard.
And I am not new to using search engines effectively.
