>social skills of a preschooler.
I know that feel, anon.
I'm just absolutely incapable of connecting with people beyond friends/school mates. Both with guys OR girls... (I'm /fit/ and handsome why is this so hard)

I've shared this before, but...

>first convention, tiny teenager, shy and overwhelmed by everything
>enter AA, happy to see awesome art
>admire tables from a distance, only fight through crowds if I really want something
>see table with two artists, no other customers there and their art looks pretty cool
>decide to suck up my shyness
>approach their table quietly, flipping through the print binder closest to me
>notice their prices and realize I don't have enough cash on hand so try to remember their number so I can come back after I withdraw from the ATM
>smile at them, say "Thank you" because I don't really know what else to say
>in response, they scowl, avoid eye contact and say, "Thanks for not buying anything."
>feel bad/embarrassed about the sudden backlash
>too scared to approach them later again so I don't return

I should have probably said, "Sorry I don't have cash right now, but I'll be back" or something, but it felt worse to say in case I ended up forgetting or changing my mind.

>need a really long light purple wig
>epiccosplay is recommended
>been out of stock forever because sales

What the hell is going on in this thread?

To answer OP's question, I would probably do it if I was single. Is it possible to meet friends in speed dating? That might be a silly question since it is "dating" but I just want to know. Ever since meeting my boyfriend I've found myself locked in a room along with losing the ability to socialise with people with the occasional take away given to me by my significant other.

Anon never sent me a message back after I gave her a shipping quote so I'm going to throw these back up for grabs.

I'm looking for US buyers only, and most of my shipping quotes range from about $12-$15 if anyone is interested.
