I mean, just a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship within the next few years would be fine with me, but my past has been haunted with such crippling loneliness and I'm too depressed and shy to ask anyone out. 😐
It's not as scary as it sounds.
Okay, it is exactly as scary as it sounds. Maybe more so. You should be terrified. Petrified. That's normal for any D&D player, especially someone who's still using an online forum in 2024.
But once you do ask them out, the anxiety will all go away. You'll likely feel much better about yourself and significantly more confident in future relationships, even if she says no.
"My past has been haunted with crippling loneliness" is a pretty intense thing to say for someone who is presumably still young and has plenty of time to figure their life out. You'll always regret not asking, unless of course you later realize she's super annoying and you wouldn't have been happy in that relationship anyways.
So really, it doesn't matter what you do. You'll find someone eventually, unless of course you don't -- but statistically speaking, you probably will. The odds of an American male getting married before the age of 40 is 81%. If you're a Caucasian male who has been incarcerated, there's a 95.1 percent chance that you'll get married by age 40.
What I'm saying is that if you commit a violent crime, you're pretty much set. Good luck out there, Elk!
WAIT WHA-
The 'crippling loneliness' thing isn't that far off. Yes, I'm still a teen, but in all my years of life I've been lonely. I've never had that many friends (I'm lucky to have the small group that I do now, and doubly lucky that they like D&D as much as I do), and I still haven't gained any traction in the friendship department.
My constant battle against my anger and depression also makes me too scared to talk to anyone else, and I can't even begin to fathom my own sexuality for God's sake! And another thing, my school isn't exactly an environment conducive to the quote-and-quote 'weirdo' like me finding someone I could even consider approaching. Most the girls there either hate me with a burning passion or just pretend to not know I exist, and I can tell you for a fact I don't like men. But if I did, half the guys there are just dumb jocks, and that ain't for me.
