Social spasticity

Hay /Lounge/. I wanted to ask /b/, but I'm sure you'll be fine instead.

I'm interested in having an online fling after recently getting out of an abusive "real life" relationship. I am intensely, pathetically infatuated with this one guy I sort of know from a forum, but I'm a spaz at talking to people I don't already talk to regularly and that makes it hard to start anything with him.

Pooper, barrel roll, an hero, etc. have not worked so far.

What do I do, /lounge/? Should I just gtf over it? :(

Can't make much fun of you there, since that happens to people. Best thing is to do what they say to do in real life. Be yourself, talk about stuff you like, and if the person isn't interesting in what YOU like then YOU wouldn't want to spend time with them anyways.

It's not that hard you know.

One more point though. "I've tried to talk to him. It hasn't worked. It's not that big a deal in the end. I'll get over it," I doubt you will. Jumping from one "crush" to the next and going all hyper over some new guy that you barely know is signs of immaturity. Kill that off. That's a step to becoming an adult. And I do mean to kill that immaturity off, because if it doesn't go away on it's on you really do need to start thinking consciously about how you behave. You need to stop letting your emotions dominate your life.

Being an in an "abusive 'real life' relationship" is proof already that you need help. If a person is abusive even ONCE dump their ass. Putting up with it even for a short time is completely a waste of your time.

If I can say "Eh, I don't like the way you're acting, it's being abusive" and forget about them so can you. It's called being an adult.
