No date again

Well, I have two tickets to the Imax Movie Cinema tonight. Our library director gave them to us free because of the school's association with the IMAX. I was happy and excited at first, and I thought 'Cool! This'll be fun!' IMAX puts on quite a vivd, 3D show in a six story high theatre!

But, like usual, I have no one to go with and I can't see myself sitting through this two hour 3D show alone. I can't go to these things by myself! I need someone to share the magic and fast paced action with, and to comment and share laughs.

This is getting to be a recurring theme for me; I'm non-shy with everyone else in the world! I'm pleasant and talkative and helpful on both of my jobs, my intellectual academic sitdown one and my retail, mechanically oriented, legwork job! They love me at both settings!

Everyone tells me I'm charming and loveable and interesting to be with, and that i'm physically acceptable in spite of my short stature. So why can't I make anything work with women? Why don't women ever want to talk to me if I'm not the only person in the room?

I'm still single and it's getting embarrassing. Aren't there any nice, lonely gals out there who'd want a man like me?

Aw I would have loved to have gone. Hell, I need to get outta here a bit more

Being alone is one of the big reasons why I haven't gone to all of the concerts and music festivals I would have like to have attended...

I'm sorry that such a great thing had to be tinged with sadness for you. Did you manage to find anyone to go with you in the end?

"Everyone tells me I'm charming and loveable and interesting to be with, and that i'm physically acceptable in spite of my short stature. So why can't I make anything work with women? Why don't women ever want to talk to me if I'm not the only person in the room?"

Being tall is waay too overrated lol (in my opinion.) As for your question - well, maybe it was something about your demeanor (when you say non-shy with everyone else, did you mean shy around women?) that makes you harder to approach. When people go up to someone to talk with them, they generally observe to see what they could talk about first, so if you're keeping to yourself and being reserved, it may seem as though you don't necessarily want someone approaching you. Sometimes, you've got to make the move to talk with someone else.

I'm just making assumptions here in an attempt to come up with something useful to say :/!

Thanks, Zero. I'm feeling better now. I was just depressed over not having anyone to go with. It's hard for me to find someone for these things.

I'm generally not shy around most people I know. I can function and get along with most other people at work. I usually feel pretty good at work. I know my material and where everything is, and people approach me for help. My main problem is approaching other people, particularly women. I never can work enough nerve for it.
