root of my problem

Post Reply New Topic

talking to ladies is easy for me.My issues
is I basically have no social life.I don't
go to social or hobby clubs,or meet ups.
I don't go to college,parties,nightclubs,bar
or part of a large social group.Yet,I've had
2 girlfriends(who approach me)made
around dozens or so female friends,and
have had women start conversations with me.
sometimes I wonder if I was more social,
would I do better in dating?

I have no idea how to be more social.

Cmon buddy, just be yourself.

Do you ever want to get married?

"Just be yourself" is misguided advice. What if you're socially awkward? Or a sociopath? Or depressed? You have to first stop being those things.

I agree. As soon as I stopped following that advice, I started to actually accomplish things. We have to mold ourselves to fit the world, because the world certainly won't mold itself to fit us.

that's not really my problem.My problem is Im not very social.
I don't socialize that much.

Yeah I don't socialize that much either. Whenever I do socialize though I usually manage to have some hot girls coming on to me even though I'm socially incompetent ha. I think its hard for people with aspergers to go out and socialize as much as normal people. I could socialize all the time if I wanted to but I prefer to stay home most of the time.

You should try to socialize more. Talk about what you're interested in, but not too much. Listen to what the other person says about what you're interested in. Or listen to what the other person is interested in. This is called "give and take."

I really don't think you're a sociopath. I think you probably need help socializing. Which is okay, because we all do on this site. I know life's frustrating sometimes. I get frustrated sometimes. But we have to live our life to the best of our ability.

One has to mold one's self to fit the world. At the same time, I believe the world should try to mold itself to fit the pleasure of one's self. Fair is fair.

Hi Bill

Maybe you could join a running club; you've done a sub-6 minute mile. They'd be glad to have you on their team. This is a great way to socialize.

Yes. Cause the world is a big homogenous zone without any niches..........

Totally understand. I quiet like spending time on my own and I only socialize occasionally. I feel like I've got into the habit of spending time alone and I haven't really been forcing myself to spend time with people lately. There's just so much I can keep busy with by myself. This weekend I will be gardening.

But I see it this way, I wouldn't be able to find a job if I didn't go out looking for one, so I figure it is the same with finding someone to date. If I don't bother socializing and putting some effort into it then I am not going to meet anyone.
