    Just stop thinking about it so much. Don't analyze people you don't find interesting as uninteresting. Most people aren't that interesting on the surface, but you might be surprised what you learn later on.

    Post a picture of yourself along with your height and current career. I hold all the answers to your questions.

    What do you do for work? Usually that is an outlet for some people. I'm almost your age and basically in my line of work it's its own social circle. Which blows sometimes because they tend to be overobsessed with their work.

    Maybe if you're bored with life you shouldn't be looking for friends to waste more time with. Just find something you care about and put more time in that. And hopefully, unlike everyone I spend time around these days, that outlet isn't "more work".

    Through all that I have just learned a little about you. You wouldn't want to be my friend because I am full of myself, right. And you've learned that through a thread over the internet. Defending DD and not liking me are 2 different things and should be dealt with individually.

    Part of endearing yourself to people is having an interest in what people have to say. if it's not something that you really care for it doesn't mean it's not important. otherwise, why should people bother with you if they get the feeling you don't care. just with any relationship, you've got to give a little to get a little.

    I am going to ignore the back and forth and post about a more important thing - me.

    I can make friends easily and can be likeable. I can do small talk and play social games. I can also be overbearing and obnoxious (yet that seems to give me a likeable persona...huh?). My problem is that I don't really cultivate friendships and generally keep very very few over multiple years. I simply don't have the time, patience, or stamina to maintain something. I was in the popular party crowd in HS, but stopped talking to any and all of those friends within a year of graduation. College I was more insular and kept friends at a minimum. I have kept up with more of them. Grad school - one person. Life after grad school - maybe three real friends.

    I don't complain, though, this is how I prefer it. I like "people" but I dislike people and that makes me a confused misanthrope.

    So, jcee, if you are bored and want a friend I guess you need to talk to people. Don't start with smalltalk. Start with something "deeper" (since you mentioned something along those lines). Most will probably ignore you but maybe someone out there will perk up and then you can go riding through the park on a tandem or something.

    Otherwise, start a commune in the forest with you, your lady friend, and whatever offspring you produce. Home school the kids, teach them to make almond butter, and sell it at the market of whatever craptacular town is nearby. Then you should marry at least two of the following: a daughter, a son, a cow, or a grasshopper.

    Other than that, I can't help you.

    See, and me and Moestavern don't exactly get along on the internet. We have different views on things and probably different physiques. But that doesn't mean we CAN'T be friends. That doesn't mean we NEVER think about each other. That doesn't mean we rule out the chance of going out and GRABBING a beer once in a while. Or maybe going to a winery because beer makes one of us a bit too bloated. Simply because, we are a part of humanity. We all urinate, we all defecate, we all want to be loved. So give friendships time, experience some ups and downs, and don't judge everything to a point where your opinion can't be swayed. Because the ivory tower is where a lot of lonely old men have died, and true happiness can only be found in involving yourself in and enjoying the simple things.


    In the interest of playing along with this thread...

    My car a 67 buick lesabre broke down in Arizona hence the 2 cars to 1 car. He knows who he is he just doesn't post anymore. We've hung out since, but he moved to Chicago. I am really not trolling.

    I don't think your handsome or tall at all to be honest. Maybe in Omaha, but this is Houston. The 4th largest city in America. Handsome people are always given the benefit of the doubt. THIS IS AMERICA BABY! WE'RE COMING TO AMERICA. CMON NEIL. WE'RE COMING TO AMERICA.

    On the boats and planes
    They're coming to America!
    Never looking back again
    They're coming to America!

    Everywhere around the world
    They're coming to America
    Every time that flag's unfurled
    They're coming to America

    That's the problem I'm barely getting back to school after paying my fiancee's student loans from UT. Maybe it will just take time. I'm cool with that.

    Or we can just rent it go to my house and let my girl do our nails. Say 8ish? Finalsbound can come too, but she will erase the awkwardness so etch that.

    Good post until the bold. I'm not a hippie nor a philosopher. Just a confused human being trying to find something deeper. You're subtle attempt to misconstrue my aura failed. Tandem bikes are awesome though they excite me. Maybe I should buy a tandem bike and ride it to school alone. Then people would be like "why u ridin that all alone" and I'll be like "F the small talk hop on"! Instant BFF. Once you go tandem......
