Are you happy right now? The more the merrier!
Let's brighten up Jow Forums a little bit, shall we?

Fuck off.
Last weekend I went to a convention with quite a few of my friends, got to buy a shit ton of merch, hanged out with a lot of people, saw some hilarious eSports commentating and got to see a life concert. Pretty nice weekend, had loads of fun.
No u.
I mean, have a nice day.

Have a nicen't day
when would u need advice if u didnt have a PROBLEM
I'm really socially awkward, to the point of not really having any friends outside of the people I see at work. I just don't know what to do in conversations and get really nervous even in casual conversation. I've been wrorking on getting out of my comfort zone and being more sociable lately.
I asked a girl out for drinks the other day. I liked her and wasn't 100% sure how she felt about me but I figured what the hell. First time I asked a girl out and she said yes! I spent the next few days freaking out over what I would say, talk about, and generally not be boring. Decided I'd not try to act like someone I wasn't, and would just focus on talking about her. I figured the date would last an hour tops, best case scenario. I expected to run out of questions to ask and things to say pretty quickly into it. We met up at a quiet bar and wound up talking for 3 hours! Keeping the conversation focused on her worked really well, and I got a second date scheduled. My only regret is not breaking the touch barrier, but overall it went well and was a good experience. I feel like I'm finally starting to claw my way out of the hole of apathy, inaction, self doubt, and resulting self esteem problems I've been living in my whole life!
What would we ask advice about if everything were positive? The questions are obviously gonna be mostly negative. Answers may vary with the situation.
Let's see, good things that happened to me lately:
>smoked weed for the first time! it was pretty nice
>I switched places in the office to sit next to my friends, then switched back to were I was before because I thought my boss would get mad... he apparently didn't, yay
>my mother is making pasta today, I eat pasta very often but I never stop enjoying it
>I still have internet
>my parents are still together
>my dog is still alive
>I'm still not super mega old
Actually, a lot of people just lurk the board for fun and others just like giving advice.
can you say this thread is spinning up?
Advice on dating a reclusive and shy girl? We get along great when we're together in person but we don't text or anything except to set something up. I'm reclusive myself so this is doesn't really bother me but I don't know how she feels about it.
On one hand, she could text me if she wanted to. On the other I know how hard it is to initiate contact as a shy person and all the second guessing yourself that occurs.
Take the initiative and start doing it, soon it'll be just like when you're together in person.

Positive bump :)
I got ice cream today from my grandma
I'm getting better and better at controlling my depressive episodes, and they are becoming less and less frequent
Was that at Anime North?
Today I realized I'd rather get rejected by hundreds of thots instead of being miserable with one by pretending to be someone I'm not
A lot of shy people aren't really shy more than they have trouble getting over the initial hurdles of meeting up or making plans, once you get them comfortable they are very awesome to be around which it sounds like you have with this girl.
How long have you been dating her?
Also I wouldn't worry too much about the texting thing if you're in the initial stages of dating, imo you're doing the right thing using texting for planning hangouts and nothing else because you should be aiming to have those personal conversations and connections in person as they will mean that much more in context of your relationship. Also accept the fact that she probably won't initiate contact very much until you're seriously dating, most girls will do the same so don't take it as a sign she's not interested, many women including many outgoing ones are bound by social norms that a woman should wait to be contacted and believe guys will get weirded out if they're too upfront and eager.
Sounds like you're on the right track though and I wish you luck with this girl.
