guy12 Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Ok, For starters I'm a senior in high school now let me explain my problem. I never really had friends in high school, although I would kinda hang out with a few people during school hours so that I wouldn't look like I didn't have any friends, but never after school, after school I'd just go home and mess with my computer or play video games. That all changed the beginning of this year when I auditioned for my school play. There's about 6 or so theater kids that I started hanging out with and whom I consider my friends, although some times I think they don't feel the same as I do ( but thats a whole nother topic. Anyways about a month into school one of my school friends brought on of his friends along. She was really cool, funny, a bit of a nerd, nice looking and smart. At first I just told my self I "liked" her, but in the past few weeks I've come to realize that I madly love her, this is the first time that I've ever felt this way about anyone and its making me crazy. But I have a problem, a few months ago after a break I came to find out that she and one of the theater kids started to go out. He's not a bad guy (despite bing a bit of a dick to me once and awhile), but every time I think of them two together it makes me want to rip is throat out. I absolutely love this girl and I want to be with her, but I don't know what to do with him in the way. I don't want to seem like I'm trying to steal his girl, but thats the way it is and I don't want to lose my friends. Also while observing them I realized that she is very much more mature than me, she has more friends, a job, a car, she's super social and out going, while for me when I'm around them I feel like a stupid kid, I'm really anti-social, I'm an uber-nerd, and I don't even have my license. Some one please help me, I'm confused and in love and don't know what to do.
Stylin22 Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 You know what you need...one of them life coaches that whips you into shape. Get yourself social pal. I'm an introvert as well but I have practiced my social skills cause that's what they are. If your idea of social is a car and license, all the works...then get yourself a license, job, and car...Proactive my friend or the world will pass you by. Try to find a job that forces interaction with people. You are absolutely going to have to develop some skills there. Use the job to save for a car. And then you will have to have a license to drive. And if you drive, then you can use your ultra suave social skills to ask the girl out on a date. Stop with the games for a bit and get you into some things here. Took me a while to figure it out but once you learn how to do it, you can do it damn well...
Groovy Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 I just wanted to say being out of high school for some time now life sure is different. Some of the cool kids are in prison, dead, or at their mom and dad's going on 33. Many of the geeky kids without friends who played Dungeons and Dragons are rich, some handsome and quite popular. Whether you get this gal or not hang in there! It will get better!
