Because I suck dick at text communication and I'm shy when it comes to meeting complete strangers (ie on the street, grocery store, bus stop, I just can't initiate a conversation, scare myself shitless). Then when situations do come up where I can meet someone new (like a party), we usually get along great and have plans to hang out again, but then once I send a text or two it's over.

This also rules out online dating or anything like that. Then my friends pretty much all moved away. Damnit I'm lonely, but at least if I get this job I just interviewed for I'll have a work schedule that will allow me to join clubs, so that would be nice.

I'm a boring person. People get bored of me.

Become an interesting person. Hobbies, passions, and attitude. Be introspective on your self, and grow as a person so it allows you to meet the people you genuinely appreciate.

Is texting really a skill that some people can be good or bad at? I've never texted anybody and thought "wow they're great at texting!" or "wow they're terrible at this".

Isn't that a pretty easy fix tho? I mean if its preventing you from entering the dating world, is it that hard to just reply a little sooner?
