slant Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 So I am in my mid-20s and just got out of a long-distance relationship two weeks ago. She was my first girlfriend and we were together about 10 months. I have been in a new city for six months and only have a few friends here. I don't want anything serious right now but I would just like to have fun and have new experiences. I have only kissed one girl in my life!!! What would you do in my situation? I'm not too into the bar scene, though I have thought about going to bars by myself on the weekends. Do I just need to get over my fear of rejection and start talking to girls I see in everyday situations? I was in the grocery store a couple days ago and imagining what I would do if I saw an attractive woman. I just got very self conscious and felt like I had this attitude of desperation. I have a high-paying job, I consider myself physically attractive, I'd say I have a very pleasing personality. In general, I very much like the person that I am. I just need some advice on how to get started and make progress. It's Friday night and I have no plans but to stay at home alone. I've started searching for meetups and I am exercising more lately. I think I know what I need to do I'm just afraid because it's all new to me. I fantasize about something as simple as going on a couple dates with a girl and coming back to my apartment, watching a movie, and then making out. Would you try online dating if you were me as well? I probably need someone to just kick me in the ass and get me started. I don't want to keep wasting weeks and finding myself in the same situation months or a year later. A newly adopted motto of mine is to think less and act more, yet here I am typing away.
iKING Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 Meetup is a good idea to break the ice in a new living environment. Getting a circle of friends will expand your possibilities. Otherwise coworkers might be an option, or just being ridiculously outgoing wherever you go.
