I will agree I don't have a good outlook on myself. I am in counseling, and have been since this all started. Thank God I started doing it, I would have been a real bad mess without it.
I have looked at meetup in the past, but it didn't have much on it for my area. It looks like there's a little more there now.
I'm not good at approaching, flirting and closing with women. I don't pick up on non-verbal hints that indicate interest. I never had luck early in life, so I never got the experience or confidence a person needs to date successfully. My therapist says I'm too much of a realist and I think too much, and I need to turn that off. He's probably right.
