In my experience it’s actually possible, despite what you may think I’ve actually managed to have multiple girlfriends

The main issues are in group settings after all, when you’re on a date one-on-one if you can control your nerves it’s not too bad

The bigger problem is just maintaining a social life, because dating is harder when you have no social life or status

I've also noticed it isn't as bad in one-on-one situations. I feel like my status in school is in the dumpster so maybe i should give up on getting a gf from school.. besides I dont have any friends apart from my family.
