This has been a subject I've avoided up till now, but it bothers me because I would like to see whether I even enjoy dating... Plus I could use a friend.
I have never dated anyone before, casually or otherwise, and kind of missed out on the college trying new things period. I guess I've always been shy, and very academically focused. Dating or flirting always seemed like extra. Not a priority.
But now I'm starting to worry... what am I even doing? I have found myself flirting with co-workers in the past, sort of out of curiosity as to whether I could flirt with anyone. Not a great place to pick someone up though.
I just seem to be either too serious, or too careless; too focused on work or projects or bettering myself, or just climbing out of depressed moods, to bother with the work of getting with someone.
I don't like small talk. I get too serious and I love debates, though I also used to be sort of fun with my old friends.
And then, I wonder if I'm ready for any relationship at all, when I keep falling into depressions, and my life seems really flimsy right now. I don't think I want a boyfriend, but I don't know how to do casual dating... help!
