I'm sick of being single

Anyone have any advice how a socially awkward anime and video game lover with relatively little time for socialisation can find someone to cuddle? Yes, I am currently salty about Valentine's day, but I figured I may as well take advantage of the salt while it's still there. It's only going to hey worse otherwise. Hell, this thread may even be useful to others as well.

I heard there are some hot babes in the afterlife

Well, ideally it would be nice to get some experience before then.

Socializing irl, it all goes down from there

Yeah, that's the part I really suck at though. I barely ever come in to contact with any girls, and I don't ever really go out to bars or clubs or places like that, since I can't drink :/

I'm considering trying out the online route.

Online route is how my sister got married so it's not a bad idea. Do you work with any girls?

Nope. Electronic Engineering student. Kinda screwed myself over in this regard hehe. Same goes for the societies I go to, unfortunately. Most have one, already taken girl.

Heh, reminded me of this line I heard: "If you're a girl in STEM, the odds are good, but the goods are odd". Can confirm, am an odd good.

Well wait till your older :s

Honestly, best advice I can give is to learn to love yourself before loving someone else. When people say "be confident", what they really mean is "put yourself in a state that lets you walk away from this unscathed if things don't pan out." The more you base your feelings upon people who might be unstable or just plain dislike you, the worse you're gonna feel.

I can't imagine the chances getting any better as I get older.

Maybe you're right, but let's face it, I'm 20 years old, and I've never been in any relationship whatsoever - it just gets harder and harder to love myself when there's just this constant feeling of something being very wrong with me. That being said, I don't want a girlfriend just for the sake of having one, it's just that it's getting to the point where I would really like to have someone who understands me, thinks on my wavelength, someone to love, yanno?

>put yourself in a state that lets you walk away from this unscathed if things don't pan out.
Well, that really depends on what the thing that doesn't pan out is. In this context, I guess it would be about actually asking a girl out. Well, how on earth does someone like me even put themselves in such a position? I get lightheaded as soon as I even start thinking about asking a girl out... it's just gotten to the point where I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself anymore, or if I'm ever going to experience love.

Sorry for making such a sappy (and probably downright desperate) thread, but I just don't know what to think or do anymore. Thanks for your responses, though.

there was a time, i felt like how you feel now. i wanted a girl in my life so much but then i realized that no girl could be like misaki nakahara. im sorry if im being repulsive but thats the truth. 3d girls are selfish, megalomaniac, evil. they only think about your money, your job and how much handsome you are. they dont think about who you really are. i think. 
actually after junior high school i did never talk with any girl in my life other than daily stuff.
so i could be wrong about how the succubi(girls) really are.

I'm very sorry you've never met anyone who likes you for you but maybe that's, at least in part, your fault

Junior high is a little too early to give up on life.

Who says he's given up? As long as @Pururin strives to improve himself, things can and will get better.

Considering you have to wait until 21 for some gay-ass reason to drink in the US, you can be plenty old enough and still not be able to drink.

Well, I can't drink because of medical reasons. Though idk, it's been over a year now. Guess I could get myself a bottle of something and see how it goes.

Just because you don't drink does that mean you can't go out to bars/clubs? Surely there must be some timgs you can drink there.

True, it's just that I don't find places like that fun at all when sober.

Honestly, neither would I. I've only ever been to house parties, and those suuuuuuuck when sober. Can't imagine a place full of strangers would be any better.
