Never apologize for asking for help. And nothing wrong with asking similar questions. Clarification is key. Asking more about her is good but if she avoids the topic, move on to something else and come back to it later. Some people don't take compliments well. If you compliment her, fine. Just don't do it ALL the time. Every so often because if she doesn't take compliments well, she may feel pressured if you say it too often.

My pleasure, just here to help.

Maybe all she wants is friends. Just because she hasn't said it, doesn't mean she doesn't want it. She may have the same insecurities you seem to have and she may not feel comfortable saying anything for fear of hurting you.

I have learned something both from experience and from spending years in medical school so here comes some (I hope) good insight. I came to realize that most people who get into online gaming do so because they are not as comfortable with face to face interactions. Online gaming is an outlet, a way of meeting people. Everyone has their own way of doing things and that happens to be yours (and hers) and there in nothing wrong with it. You can use it to your advantage. As time goes on, get to know one another. If she is as excited as you say she is when the time comes for you two to meet online and play then there will come a time when maybe you two can meet up in person. You already share a common interest. Use that as a jump off point to start something or move on to the next step but again DON'T rush it, you'll do more harm than good that way. Take it slow, give it time. Good things come to those who wait and play their cards right. ;-)

Not unstable at all. Instability and insecurity are two different things.

It's a lot easier than you think. Like I said, you have to get over the fact that you THINK you're hopeless. That's where it starts. If you think that way, it'll be hard. Know it's not true and before you know it, you'll be talking to girls (and guys) as naturally as breathing.

Here in-lies the problem. First you need to get over the fact that you think you're hopeless. Once you realize you're not hopeless, it'll be a lot easier to approach a woman. Simply walk up to her and say hi. Tell her that you saw her sitting alone and would she mind some company. If she says she doesn't mind, sit and offer to buy her a drink if you're in a bar. If you're in a coffee house, offer to buy her coffee.

Find more common interests. Or sometimes doing nothing is best. Let her come to you. Don't push her to open up. She'll do it when she's ready. Just make it clear that you are there for her if she ever does need it.

My fave pick up line is:
"Did it hurt when you fell from Heaven."

I also actually had this conversation once when I went to a bar one night years ago:
Man-You're new here, I'd remember a face that beautiful.
Me-Thanks.
Man-Buy you a drink?
Me-I can't accept, I don't want you to think is going to go somewhere that it's not. I'm gay but thanks.
Man-You're gay? Not for long.
(Exit stage left!)

The variation I heard was "your father must be a thief because he stole the sparkle form the stars and put them in your eyes."

I already have my dream job as an ED nurse but I think I would have to say my dream position is HEAD ED nurse.

Yea, if you can't handle it on tv...
I'm an ED nurse myself and it doesn't bother me. It's just not for everyone. If you still want to be in the field there are plenty of options...
Billing & Coding
Admissions
Info Desk
Oncology (which is a little heart wrenching but no blood)


There are even options that don't deal with blood and gore but still give you the satisfaction of the nursing aspect like the maternity ward. You get to play with newborns all day.

This is funny as hell. I work part time in a nursing home and my boss has this hanging in her office.

You need an explination? Must be a male thing.

He climbed the tree to feel if the mango was ripe then got down and started throwing stones to knock it out of the tree.

I can't say one way or another as to your personality but as far as physical looks...yes, you are a rather good looking man.

You sound like an incredibly sweet guy. Too bad I am out of your age range (as well as too far in miles) it also doesn't help that I am gay but if circumstances were different, I would totally take you up on that. I am in the medical field, I'm an ER nurse so my profession and big heart can totally look past your physical situation. I also understand about not doing drugs (as a nurse I know better) and I also can't drink due to being on medication for clinical depression. I want to wish you the best of luck in your search. Keep your chin up and your head about you and I'm sure you'll find the right girl.

That's one tell tale sign of a catfish...they claim to be in another country due to work or visiting a family member or on holiday.

Yeah, it's a new location created in their country...by them because they're scammers.

What do men get out of pretending to be a woman to reel in someone like myself who is looking for a genuine relationship only to be figured out as scammers and catfishers?

Do men get off on it? Why do they insist on wasting both their time and ours?
