while not directed at me it still applies. Since I started this whole dating age thing well over two years ago and haven't progressed much, I'll gladly admit I am pretty dumb/stupid/incompetent/ when it comes to doing things right.
Let me first say its a pleasure to conversate with you Combine, especially since youre pretty much the legendary reason for the existance of this topic on GAF. Every poster here owes you credit in one way or another.
What I said earlier was directed at pessimistic demotivation. Im against pessimists that decline themselves opportunities.
Any progression, is solid progression. Little or large, doesnt matter. As long you feel youre moving forward. Everyone's case is individual. As long you keep evolving, you will do no wrong.
If anything, youre doing everything right.
I have a brother (age 19) and a sister (age 15).
My brother is really my only friend but he's back at his college, which is an hour drive from my house.
And my sister and I don't get along very well.
Dont underestimate the social value of your siblings or related family. Hang out with your brother. Go out, get a beer or coffee somewhere. Get in the crowd. Sooner or later you'll be approached or approach someone.
The thing with your sister its normal... shes young.
Me and my sister (my only sibling) went through the same phase, till we transended into a more mature mentality.
She knows everything about me, and the same in reverse. All my secrets. All the shit my parents dont know off. Every single shit Ive done.
I talk to her about everything. Sex, movies, daily stuff, food, news, friends etc. etc. We have a mutual understanding for one another.
I would even go as far to saying shes my weakness. She truely is. I cherish her more than anyone. I dont know what I would do without her.
God knows, shes been through some tough shit, and Im glad I was there for her....
The point is... your sibling(s) are probably the most trustworthy friends you got. And you need reliable friends.
If youre bro is out going, call him up some day, go out, chillax at a bar or whatever you fancy.
