  • I fear that those who used to encourage me to not give up wanting a girlfriend no longer think that and want me to give up instead.

    I would have to send a message through MyChart. It would take a long time to hear back, though.

    Is it not possible to call on a telephone, during the week, during office hours?

    Any progress in getting feedback from the specialist?
    Two people at work coupled up romantically. I’ve been at the library for 15 years and never even got a coffee date with any women there.

    What you're saying is that there really was no loss or failure as far as getting a date with females at work. Because they were either already in relationships, or too old, or no common interests.

    You live in Texas, right? I read that there are 29 million people in Texas. I'm positive that you can find someone in the vast US of A. So many people. Good luck with everything, you can do it.

    @Forest Cat Yes, I live in Texas. The social expectations here are so damn rough which is partly why I struggle so much.
    It’s so hot outside that I can taste the moisture in the air.

    The heat makes me feel more depressed. It makes me wish more and more I had a girlfriend.

    That is a rather remarkable non sequitur.
    I want to go to Kinokuniya in Austin when I get paid on Wednesday.

    From their webpage: a large selection of quality goods and gifts direct from Japan ranging from stationery, to anime merchandise, to magazines and books, to... authentic gift items.
    Would anyone be happy for me if I finally got a girlfriend?

    You've been making strides: you're already OK with being open about how work makes you feel, and you are also looking into vocational rehab. These are all good things.

    I would, and so would a lot of other people on this forum, I’m sure. I think people are just trying to give you a heads up that having a girlfriend won’t be easy. ;)

    @Homulilly Oh, I know it won’t be easy! I just hope the good times will outweigh the bad times.
    My body hurts all over.

    That was about 8 or 9 hours ago. How about now?

    Maybe you were tired. Very tired.
    I have to wait for a call back from a TWC counselor.

    You submitted one of their self-referral forms?

    I talked to one of their counselors over the phone to set up an appointment.
    Is there a way out for me?

    You have to go get it through working. Try a part-time weekend job. Get up and go out. Create your opportunities.
    I feel trapped by my routine as well as my mother’s control freak behavior.

    Contacting Voc. Rehab. probably wouldn't hurt. You don't have to get your mother's permission to do that.

    My ex stayed with my mom, he told me my mom is a control freak also.

    I always said in the past when I was 18 and lived with my mom (before I moved out)." you can decide over the appartment, but can not decide over me, because I´m adult." but she also had problems to accept this. but today we don´t have these problems and have different appartments.
    I wish my birthday wasn’t closing in.
    Aspychata

    Oh boy. You got those birthday blues.

    I´m sorry but we can not pack a girlfriend for you and send you as birthday present. it would be against human rights and laws.

    But it would be sweet if you got a girl kitty cat. I like boy cats myself. A black and white cat is on my wish list.
    I want to know if my age (33) and inexperience doesn’t prevent me from ever having a girlfriend.

    @tree I wish there was official data.

    Seems like public records of marriages would provide some input.

    tree´s endurance is not from this world. maybe she is an intelligent artifical intelligence or an extraterrestrial life form. noone knows.
    Why do some people not want me to have a girlfriend?
    tree
    tree
    Because they think you're a dim witted, no skill loser that shouldn't be allowed to reproduce. Oh, and you don't like yourself. So why should anyone else? Plus, the universe is focused on the thrill of seeing you unhappy. That sums up what you've said in the past, I think.

    You don't feel secure.
    Forgot that today was 1st Friday. I am reminded once more that my invitation to the party got lost in the mail.

    Hey. Be happy. Just go out and make your own party.

    Charlie Brown. That's what the "invitation to the party got lost in the mail" made me think of.
    Is there a cutoff age to getting into a relationship? I fear I’ve hit it because my efforts to get a girlfriend always fail.
    Markness
    Markness
    Why haven’t my efforts been successful, though?
    tree

    If you have continued to develop your social/people skills since the age of, say 12 or so, then your efforts are successful. This idea that there is a cutoff age/a time limit is not doing you any favors. You fret over it. You continually bring it up. Who told you there was a time limit to being able to love & be loved?

    No there isn't. Several people get into a relationship in their 70's or even later. My mother got into relationship with a man (who I heavily suspect is autistic) well into his 50's who had never been in a relationship before. He lived in a small apartment where he hoarded films and books. He was also pretty unfit and ate lots of candy.
