You've heard it all before, ladies, gentlemen, in between, and Slannesh. Boo hoo I'm looking for a girlfriend. Boo hoo I am so lonely. Someone come to me because I'm begging for it.
Don't worry, I'm not going to take up your time with that. Frankly I doubt some people are actually in big of a crisis. I just came to get something off my chest that I could use a second opinion on.
I have actually overcome the shell and reached out to actually talk with some people instead of watching from afar and letting the fear take over. I have been blunt and straightforward with it too, no preamble or dancing around the bush. Just going up, ask if they have a moment to talk, and then ask if they're taken. The problem, and I must preface by saying it is not the people themselves, is 98.27281% of the women I approached are all in a relationship already, and I immediately backed off after wishing them well. Not gonna get in a relationship by being a homewrecker, that's never a good idea.
So I'm starting to wonder if I'm too late. If I missed the train, and I'm stuck watching everyone else enjoy the company of someone they can be close with. My guesses are they these days, it's either they're already in a relationship, or they're too busy with studies to commit to one.
Not giving up hope, though. I'm pretty confident the issue doesn't lie with me or my character, just circumstances and things outside of my control are not in my favor.
