why does my social life suck so much?

Biologically, to find a mate. Psychologically, to find a companion.

Unfortunately or funtunately it's not as essential as eating. Makes sense biologically as preserving the self is more important then preserving or creating others.

To get herpies. Silly questions get silly answers.

What? You have some wild rationalization to tell yourself its O.K. to not have any social skills.

sorry to revive this thread, but i was able to get the phone number of that girl i was interested in, by setting up a study session with my other friend in the class, me, and her. did i look too desperate by asking her to join us when we've barely spoken to each other? by the way, i think i appeared shy and hesitated when i spoke, as if that matters

Cyrus

of course it matters. My advice, have friends that are girls first.

That's terrific! Don't think it didn't occur to her that you might be asking her to get to know her better. That she accepted doesn't necessarily mean that she is interested in you, but it means she probably doesn't dislike you. It's a good place to start.

I suggest the first few study sessions you just stick to studying, and not worry about asking her out. This is the perfect opportunity to get to know her better and feel more comfortable in her presense. If you two get along then you will see that it will become easier to ask her out.

Good luck.
