I posted this in
the other incel thread, but this one seems more active.
Way too few actual losers in this thread. Let me do my bit.
I don't like to think of myself as being an incel, because I find the whole "culture" retarded. I don't hate women, I don't think it's all about the looks or any of that crap. My problem is I have a really hard time reading people and understanding how to be entertaining and pleasant to be around. In the last few years I actually tamed my social 'tism a lot just by doing a lot of social stuff during the summer - noticing what works, what doesn't and starting to understand nuance - but I think I'm still quite bad at times, especially in group settings. I also overcame my fear of approaching women to the point where it's simply not an issue for me anymore, which ironically robs me of a lot of the excitement.
Still, all this effort got me was the opportunity to cuddle like two times, some heart-ache and no romantic connection, which is really all I want. I guess I need some advice on what to do
after I hint to a girl that I'm interested, because all my attempts thus far have ended after the stage where we talk/go out for a few weeks on sort of unadmitted dates unable to move on to the next stage (whatever that is).
A friend of mine suggested just YOLO going for a kiss - said it worked for him. Other told me to start a conversation about relationships, which I'm kinda insecure about because y'know - never had any. As I said above my social skills are underdeveloped so I have no idea if any of that is weird or totally expected.
At this point I guess I'll take any advice people might have for me, even if it's coming from a bunch of stalkers on the internet.
