So I've been toying with online dating for a couple of months... and it has been awful. about 50% of the problem is that i have a really hard time picking up on when a girl is hitting on me. the other 50% of the time things seem to go great and then the other party just disappears. I've only met up with one person in real life so far, and she was pretty fucking awesome. then she just kinda disappeared. Getting pretty tired of this. I would love to meet people, but my main problem is that I don't really know how to act in a crowd. If I'm in a one on one situation with someone, and i have their attention, no problem. If I'm in a group trying to make small talk, I tend to not pick up on any social cues, get interrupted constantly... It's just a mess. One major thing that also doesn't help is that a lot of my favorite things are solitary projects, though i would love to meet a woman who could help me work on an engine, or mess with computers, etc. Shit isn't going very well, but I guess that's just how life is. You can't control other people, so at best your trip is mostly random. Hoping that I'll meet some new friends or some special woman i can get close to, but I'll live. I'll just fly solo in the meantime and enjoy myself the best I can. Shout out to all my fellow introverts, hope yall find some good company.
