I make a great first impression... and little else.

Coming from someone who recently ran into said problem himself, my take is that you need to find someone you trust to be completely honest. I don't want to try and make myself less of who I am, but I find that some of my habits can really hurt me socially.

She has pointed out a few things that will really help me.

It doesn't help me now, but seeing as how I am about to move from one end of the US to the other, in meeting new people it will certainly help.

EDIT: Then I realize that I just necro'd this thread. Damnit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Since I am going for the same advice at this point...*ahem*

I am stuck in this place for 10 weeks, and we have about 4 more to go. The previously mentioned girl is putting me on for a bit of a roller coaster ride. Either she is the best damned actress in the world, or she goes from wanting me to not.

Granted, she is everything I want in a girl, and socially is the opposite of me. I am the kind of guy who doesn't mind staying in and reading a book, she is the kind who goes out partying at 6 in the evening and doesnt stop til noon the next day. We hit it off so well awhile back and it was great. Now I ask her if she wants to do something and I get the all caps text message back saying "No," though not in so few words. I envy her because she manages the quirky and still gets along with people. I want to change myself as a person just a bit. I just don't know how.

EDIT: Forgot to mention...fuck my life they are in the room next to ours, so I can hear them all the time.

Most amazing jew boots

@Capo: Such things cannot be taught and are harder to come along by one's self. I try, but I feel like I come off as an asshole sometimes.

@T48: This...sadly will be temporary. Whims of the military and all. I haven't been so wrapped up about a girl since high school. Still....bout a month left. Gotta enjoy what I can while I can I suppose.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
