I’ve never picked up a woman. Never really even flirted, other than with “Friends” – never been on a real first date… blushing

I’m lost. Where do I start? How do I not look like a fool?

Any advice is needed.


Just do what you have always done and remain open to the possibilities. Do the leisure activities and hobbies you enjoy on your own (without the female friends) and set about making new "friends". Ask those friends to join you once in a while in other mutual interests. Have fun, no pressure. Viola! Dating. Kiss on one of your second or third meetings if you like the way she looks and take it from there.

Well, guys & gals, I’m going to lay it on the line, spill my guts and ask for some HONEST advice….

TRUTH – I’m 33 years old, divorced, never been on a “First Date” – never seriously asked a girl out, never really dated… So, how did I wind up in this situation? I’ve been asking myself that for MONTHS!! ohwell

Let me make it as short as possible. Nothing “Sweet” about it, but I can make it short. When I was in high school, my dad had some serious health problems. I had to work to support myself and my parents, and pay my own way to do things, like stay in Scouts, go on trips with my church youth group… I didn’t have time to date.

I had a lot of Girls that were friends (My best friend since 7th grade is a girl/woman), but no girlfriends. Every time I went out, it was with a groups of FRIENDS.

Despite working my @$$ off, I was still able to graduate in the top 10% of my high school class (about 350 in our class) and I got a partial scholarship to the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). I moved to Savannah, worked 2 even 3 jobs until school started. Three weeks in, my dad’s back went out and he had to have surgery. Not only could my parents not help me out, they needed me back home to help them.

So, I dropped out, gave up my scholarship, came home, and worked 2 jobs to help them until Dad got back on his feet.

How did my Ex-Wife and I meet? She was one of those girls that was a friend in high school. We hung out a lot after I moved home from Savannah, and did stuff with groups of friends. One night (October 10th, 1993), we kissed and that was it. We were a couple. Spring of 1996, we married. August of 2007, she had an affair and walked out of my life!

Now you get the screen name, Lonely, Wounded and the WOLF is because WOLFMAN is my nick name (Mainly because the Wolf is my animal spirit per my Cherokee roots).

I’ve never picked up a woman. Never really even flirted, other than with “Friends” – never been on a real first date… blushing

Well, you're comfortable around women, I would assume. Leave the past behind, don't worry about "you never been on a real date" or anything like that. You're here, play in the forums, when you see profiles that interest you, e-mail them.

Have fun and relax.
