• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Are you in a relationship?

Hah. Now that I actually know someone available that I want to be in a relationship with, I discover I have no fucking clue how to talk to people for real. That aren't the same gender as me. I haven't even had a /friendly/ relationship with anyone of the opposite sex, and the only 'normal' friends I've had weren't in a relationship either so I couldn't like, see how theirs went.

But one of my friends has been talking to me a lot about how they can so totally tell I'm unconfident and if I started actually putting myself out there I'd get noticed.

Ugh too much talking. tl;dr, I'm a loser because I've never counted on myself enough to try, so that explains why I'm fucked over for relationships.

in b4 stop bawwwing faggot
 
Stop bawwing fa- damn...

And no, but that's because I might be a tad narcissistic or however you spell it. Well actually, it's because I'm a bit of a sociophobe and feel sick whenever I have to socialise with people who I can't blackmail into doing whatever don't normally talk to.

In real life that is, internets are easy.
 
Vyraura: it sucks, but you gotta get some courage man. The easiest way to be rejected is to not make the step at all.
 
Never have been. This may be because most of the physically attractive girls at my school are "poular", which apparently means they have to be complete bitches. Maybe its because I'm barely thirteen years old. Or maybe (and this is the likely case) Its because, even though I live in fucking SEATTLE, which is supposedly known for it's diversity, It seems nearly everyone my age is an idiotic, pop-culture brainwashed moron.
This is probably the wrost aspect of my life. Does anyone know where I can actually find people who think like I do? Or is everyone in america just a mindless idiot?
Wow. That was quite a rant.
 
You're 13. I didn't have anything properly going on till I was at least 17. I am on my third relationship, the first two didn't last more than two months.
 
on friday my girlfriend and I will have been together for 4 months :) if it lasts even a few minutes over 4 months exactly it will be my second longest hooargh
I see no reason why we can't last ages though

Good luck to you! ^_^

Your avatar makes you insta-win :P
 
make a withdrawal from the courage bank.

no, just ask and try. worst that can happen is she says no.
 
I haven't been in one for nearly a year, but I suppose that's my own fault. Not that I mind much anymore, anyway. I just don't think being in a relationship is worth it anymore - the people that I know are all crap.

But I know quite a few nice people online that I would love to meet. Problem is, I live way too far from most of you awesome guys. D=

I know EXACTLY how you feel x_x
 
How do I do that? I know you're not talking to me but I have no idea.

You can do what I did: Take no action and have a someone approach you. Of course I kinda fucked the whole thing up kinda early on and I'm still trying to put the pieces back together...ok, don't do what I did. I tried asking my crush's friend to ask for me, and that was a lot easier for me. Sure, it didn't work, but that was for reasons beyond my control. Other than that, just don't withdraw from the courage bank; rob that bank.

^Agreement. Nobody (that I know) wants to be with someone who does nothing but wallow in self-pity. Sure, you can release your emotions and all that, but don't let anyone you're interested in see it unless they happen to be the cute sensitive type. Also, don't get all arrogant, cocky, and self-absorbed either - the key lies in finding the perfect mix of being humble and proud.

...
I act as if I'm a relationship expert '-_-
 
No, they don't; this is why you don't wallow in self-pity when others are around. A relationship is supposed to make you less self-conscious and more happy. I know it does that for me.
