vain Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Between the time I was 8 and 18, I moved an average of 1.1 times per year and was very very poor(welfare/food stamps/subsidized housing/recipient of charity poor). As a result of this, and the fact that I, oddly enough, lived in very wealthy areas throughout my adolescence (while I didn't have food/clothes other kids were getting BMWs for their birthdays), I have absolutely no experience in dating. Or anything remotely resembling dating for that matter. I mean, I've never even held a girl's hand before. So, I'm now 22, poverty is no longer an issue, and I would like to start dating. But, I honestly have no idea where to begin. I don't really have a social support system to fall back on as a result of my childhood, and I'm struggling with things as basic as: Where do people find dates? What do people do on dates? What social protocol is in effect on a date? What is the proper method of expressing interest in a girl? Just, basic things like that. Are there courses/books for things like this? I'm so incredibly lost, and I feel that the older I get, the worse this will become.
IrishCarBomb Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I honestly have no idea where to begin. Trial and error.
youngskywalker Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Start off with getting yourself established financially. Get a car, nice apartment and find a hobby that you like to do. It sounds like you may have this already. Then find a circle of quality friends that you can hang out with. Do this and the dating part will fall into place. Few women will be attracted to any guy who doesn't have a stable and established life. If this doesn't work for you then try online dating. You're only 22 so there is no rush. Take a few months to reflect on yourself. Be the best you can be then go out and look for some women. Good Luck.
