I never give this topic much thought now, though I was bothered about it when I was a teenager, which I suppose everybody is.

Now, at 40, I just accept that it never did happen and never will happen.

I never really have to bother, I'm the one that gets approached.

However I am not interested in any of the people that approach me, and I do not like relationships.

Friendship relationships, it is hard for me to feel comfortable around people and keep them interested - as i'm so different to them.

Very few of my friends take me seriously. Those that do take me seriously are for the most part, girls. And so, asking out a friend puts me at risk for losing a perfectly mediocre friendship and getting shunned from a group of people I enjoy. But I like my smart group of friends (girls), better conversations. Da*n highschool, even smart peole form cliques.

Wow, slightly off topic. I can start a friendly relationship through acquaintanceship, that's how I get all my friends. But starting a romantic relationship with a random stranger... I could never have the confidence needed for that.

I tried to start romantic relationships with strangers, and it only worked slightly the first time. I was able to make out with the wonderful individual (French style) four times. But then they went back to Plymouth.

But we are now friends. And talk via MSN.

Sarcastic Name- perhaps you can ask your group of female friends to help you find a girlfriend?

Or see if you can get invited to one of their slumber parties where they sit around in their underwear, do their nails, talk about boys, and have pillow fights with lots of gratuitous slo-motion effects. That'd be worth it!

Unfortunately I seem to be able to start relationships *relatively* easily... it's the maintainance that I suck at!

Start one, yes that is easy. Sustain one after 5 minutes, near impossible unless other person is incredbly forgiving.

As much as I'd enjoy the slumber party, I doubt they'd ever consider inviting me to one. But the notion of them getting me a girlfriend is...interesting, how to go about requesting it would be weird. A few of them might be nterested in me...hmmmm... :oops:

......women should hit on men....flirting is too hard to detect...... :roll:

Right - and get rejected and humiliated? No thanks.
