You've never had a girlfriend? Like unironically? Man that's sad. I was lonely through my teens but turned it around in college. I don't mean to be crude or reduce love to sexual acts, but physical intimacy and sex is so fucking amazing, though not for porn-related reasons, that I can't imagine giving up on experiencing more of it in the future.

Haven't had sex since, mate. Experience didn't do me shit, I still think I'm repulsive, and I've accepted the idea that I'll never be loved by someone I can love back.

the problem is that what you are describing is merely intercourse; not love

>> No.6141892

>>6141883
Very true, but then it would be strange to give a 22/yo virgin the advice of ''experience'' with actual love, because that's his goal in the first place. The supposed stepping stone of experience is all he wants to begin with, so it's not great advice in that sense.

I really don't care, I don't know why but any kind of social relationship seems indifferent to me.
If it happens it's ok by me, but I'll hardly do anything to get them.

I've never asked a girl out neither, but I've been asked out a few times and didn't give a fuck about it.

A lot of people probably care since often I see people worrying and even crying because of their relationship, but that's a worry that until this day seems trivial to me.

Probably worth saying, I'm quite high in the autist spectrum so the fact that this kind of things are indifferent to me may be due to a genetic circumstance.

My valentine is out of town this weekend but we'll be going to see the 50 Shades movie when she gets back. Just met her the other day when I was out for a run.

I'm really not looking forward to this movie. And ex tried to get me to read the book and I only managed three pages before I trashed it and told her it's rubbish. I've seen a trailer and the writing in the movie seems somehow worse than the book.

Requesting Kafka's love letters. Or whichever part of his journals that he writes about love. One of my favorite lines goes something like "The rain won't stop soliloquizing about you and I can't help but overhear" and another "Coitus as punishment for the happiness of being together."

Don't feel too bad, I've had similar experiences. I only lost my virginity from dating a crazy bitch, who left me for my best friend.
