Am I socially awful? I have been wondering this for sometime now, and have finally decided that I should ask someone outside my social group.

Let me explain.

The reason I think this is I have many situations in the last 2-3years with dating(women) that have just hurt me. It's not hard for me to get sex, but it is hard for me to connect with people, and when I do we seem to hit it off well, but then it ends up with the people ending communication. As if the relationship was nothing. This makes me feel as if I am useless person, and bad socially.

I hope this comes across correct, as this is my first post.

Maybe you should look at it differently. Maybe it's not you. Maybe it's the other people that can't connect. Are you in counseling? Maybe it would be an option. You may be attracted to people that can't connect. Counseling could give you a third party objectivity that you don't have now.

Stick around on PsychCentral. You will get a lot of great feedback and have the chance to make friends and raise your self-esteem.

Relationships are tough no doubt about it. You need to sit back and look at the relationships . How did they start ? did things happen to fast? Did you really get to know the person?

I agree with Gayleggg. Maybe look into Therapy to find out whats going on in your dating. I learned so much about myself going into Therapy, things I had no clue about.

You will find many people on PC struggling with the same issues, your not alone.
