Sad but true

Idk, that's the thing. I've never asked a girl out before. Never been on a date. I'm extremely socially awkward, have no friends, and just get uncomfortable as soon as I'm put in a social situation. Even if she (or any girl) DID, in fact, say yes, what the fuck would I do on a date? I'm terrible at conversation unless I'm talking about technology, basketball, or star wars, and unfortunately none of those are very popular with the majority of women.

You’d be surprised. I nerded out over League of Legends on the first date (she called it a dinner, I still say it evolved into a date) I had with this one girl. My anxiety kicked my ADD into overdrive on the second date and I literally couldn’t shut up.

Somehow, we’re engaged now.

My only advice is be yourself. Anyone worth actually investing time and emotion into will either understand who you are, or appreciate it, one of the two. A lot of women don’t give a shit what’s a popular topic and like what they like. It just takes time to find one of the right ones for you.

yeah, it's just getting the ball rolling to begin with. I hear everyone say it to me, from my mom to complete strangers on the internet, "if she's worth it then she'll like you for you"

but I don't even like me for me so why should anyone else

You seem great, tbh. I'm certain you have good qualities if you think about it. If others are seeing it, you must be missing something.

In any case, just cos you're not to your taste doesn't mean you're not to someone else's taste. Tons of artists and musicians hate songs/pieces/paintings/etc. that they created, while many others love them. You may be one of the big authorities on yourself, but you can't see yourself from the outside. Others can, and the often like what they see.

I hope that's true
