Sam _ Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I would like a little help here. I would like to meet someone new but can't seem to find anyone that I like. I'm not picky and I don't have a high or unreasonable expectations. All I want in a girl is that I can talk to them about things (and vice-versa), I can have fun with them and be myself, and that they respect me and my beliefs. Pretty much the basic stuff that EVERYONE looks for. I'm apparently no good at online dating (the free sites). I'm on link removed and link removed and haven't met anyone. I've messaged people and no one has messaged back. I cannot do the sites that you have to pay for and probably won't be able to for a long time. And I'm shy when it comes to meeting new girls. Unless I know them well, I always am nervous and have a hard time with conversing. Where can I go (online) to meet someone new? Any conversational advice I could use if I am shy around the girl?

Sam _ Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 No. I'm a senior in high school with no car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 will you be going to college in the fall? you will meet so many women in all your classes and your dorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam _ Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Probably not. I'm going to wind up failing math this semester so I'm going to go on to do adult ed. rather than a high school class. I'm then going to a technical school, then to college. And I won't be able to live on-campus, I'm going to have to live at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam _ Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 It's really not going to be possible. I made a 55 (F) last grading period, and this one I have between a 60 and 70 (F). I need a combined total of 140 to pass (meaning I'll have to get an 85 B) and there is only 5 days left of school. I simply don't understand the work and my teacher doesn't do a very good job at explaining it to me. I'm used to the book work and I understand book work better. But he refuses to allow me to do book work instead of the worksheets he made himself. He is the only statistics teacher in the school so it's pretty much inevitable. (I'm actually taking statistics, but mistakenly refer it to math) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 i would take classes at a community college then and transfer to a 4-year university asap. honestly, i loved college, every minute of it, and met so many people that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam _ Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 I think I'm already going to do that. Do adult ed. for my statistics class, go to a technical college for two years (it will make it cheaper for me to get into a 4-year university), and then transfer to a 4-year university. But I'm looking for something a little more immediate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam _ Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 No intermural leagues in my area, I'm not religious, can't afford any dance classes (currently unemployed aside from my volunteer job). And volunteering I consider a job, I won't be looking for anyone at a volunteer job. And besides, I'm already volunteering at an orphanage.
