hey micahael im in the same boat, i have no friends, havent had a friend in well over a decade.....my sociala anxiety is tough .....i am pretty cycnical about relationships, probabaly because i never had one (yeah still a virgin at 44) but anyway the best way for me to get the idea of relationships and dating out of my system is to realise how shallow these attractions are, its all about t!t And ***, it is basically a business transaction ...youve got this and this goign for you and the other partner has a certain amount going for them and its trade off.....eg i might be less attractive to the girl but she sees my salary as an attractive thing about me....anyway im stating the obvious here
