Dating & Romance Rant

[Wilford111]

I did meet friends when I joined, after a couple days. Guys and girls alike. It was great! I was part of an FC, and they helped me go through the motions and stuff. I also met friends from all over the server, some being closer than others, and I was having a great time in general. But the entire time, in the back of my mind, I wanted companionship. I wanted a girlfriend.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I don't know what the THING is that people do to get together romantically. I have friends that are girls, some I have a crush on, but I that's the end of it. I don't want to ask them out, because I don't want to come across as creepy or have them look at me in a weird way and become estranged to me. I don't want to lose my friends. But I also feel so lonely. Friends are great, but I'm missing that feeling of companionship.

I found the problem right here.

Fear.

But conquering that just takes time. Don't be desperate and force things to happen, but hey if opportunity arises, meet it. Ask a friend out for a dinner date. Doesn't have to be serious but it can give you an idea of where it can go. If nowhere, well at least there is good food to be had

Also don't forget its OK to be alone. It took me a while to accept that, and once I did, I became a better person, and thats when I met my husband. But it wasn't instant or over night. It started out as fun. And thats how it should be. Just don't be so serious about HAVING to have a serious relationship right off the bat. Have some fun and enjoy life too!
