The Same Old, Same Old

    Ok, the usual problem --> no female companion (& I don’t a mean dog).

    Well let me fill you in about me. I’m 20 years old & going to collage. Now all is well in my life, except my non-self-imposed abstinence in love. I went to an all boys primary school & an all boys secondary school. It would be 100% my parents fault if I turned out gay. I don't know any girls, rarely talk to any, besides small talk, wouldn't consider any girl my friend. I have never dated a girl or even kissed a girl, but that doesn’t bother me. Going out & shifting 6 girls at an Energizer never appealed to me - seemed cheap.

    I don’t drink (well actually I do drink water, Sprite … in fact my nightmares are generally
    fuelled by a midnight Coca-Cola binge), so yeah I don’t drink alcohol. I don’t have any siblings to look to see what they’ve done or to ask them questions. I can’t ask my friends, because well it’s embarrassing & plus I’ve moved to collage far away from home, so I ain’t calling them up & letting them play Agony Aunt - they’ll think I’m taking the Michael, because it’s something I would do. My only dating techniques are from the early seasons of Friends. I have this notion of ‘let’s go out for a candlelit dinner’ mixed in with several bad jokes.

    I do feel I'm a good guy. Actually I'm really nice ... once you get to know me. Basically my friends really like me, but my acqutinces don't. One of my absolute best friends told me that he thought I was the biggest eejit in school for 4 years, saying to his then friends how annoying I was & practically hated me, until we were forced to sit beside each other in 5th year Spanish. Ola! I'm quite caring too. I should also say that while I don't like rejection, I have no problem going up to a complete stranger & asking them out (I just don't know how).

    So my questions are:

    1. Whats the best way of asking a girl out? I'm talking about a complete stranger or someone you have the occasioanl hello with.
    2. Where is it us young people go out on first date’s?
    3. Will my somewhat childish sense of humor be a deterrent from my nice personality?

    Also if you have any other input or comments please post them, my future sex life could depend on it!

    If you dont drink that cuts down your options, basically you just need to get to know girls, as many as possible and find out who you click with and let nature take its course. Do you have a hobby, or perhaps could you take up a course with lots of girls on?

    I am not being facetious but girls are just like other people. If you appear desperate you will scare her off. Just say hello.
