If you just want a root you might not have to worry about all this "shared interest" and "personality" shit. But this is called the relationship and getting one thread right? You've got to be friends with someone if you want a functioning relationship.

You need to be assertive and put yourself out there. If you seem as though it made no difference whether you get them or not, they won't go out with you.

It's like getting a job: make it seem like you care and you got it. That is, well, if you have the qualifications and all, but that's beside the point.

For me, it's a little bit difficult because I'm not very assertive or dominant. Instead, I'm a rather submissive person. Well, I'm sure there are people out there who are into that as well.

Think of me as the grey area between far right and far left. I don't believe in the left-right axis, so I am neither left nor right. Rather, I am off the axis.

Anyway, It all reeks of high school drama, cause it is, but I want it to be stop, I want her to leave me alone. And I've told her this. I could just say, leave me alone, I'm not going out with you again, deal with it, and move on. Id rather not be a complete asshole, however.

Any advice?

Not that I'm used to taking advice from strangers on the Internet, but still. :p

When you say that she "went ballistic" over a cancer rediagnosis...
Her being needy could be some weird guilt thing she feels over that. That's what I read into "why do you hate me" and "please tell your bro that I love him", anyway.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this before, or if it's entirely accurate, but I think one of the best ways to get into a relationship is to get a real job first.

I know that I used to have a lot of trouble talking to people in real life, and had problems with my looks but when I began working I slowly had less trouble talking to other people. I think it gives an extra boost of confidence (somehow) and conversations about funny things that happen at work are more entertaining and easier to get into then discussing the weather or each others video game adventures. And it was also after I got my first job that I began noticing which of my friends would keep asking for stuff and which ones were content. Kind of shows the persons character that I never noticed before I started working, which to me is important.

It always boosts your self-confidence and sense of self-worth to have a job. You're right about it making friends stand up, too. Altogether, jobs are great for almost all aspects of your life.

I've been taking my anti-anxiety medication, and I think it has helped some. I haven't really talked to anyone lately, but I will be meeting some old friends next weekend, so that will be a test run. If it really is working, then, by this time next year, I might have a girlfriend. I am extremely excited!

I don't think she'll leave you be. You'll probably have to do something you don't want to do. Good luck with this, buddy.

Honestly I don't know if I'd want a girlfriend. Sounds kind of scary. Sounds like I would have to give over personal free time and autonomy.

If you think you have to give autonomy then you are not ready for a relationship.

A relationship doesn't mean you have to give up your own autonomy. It just means you have to consider someone else and not take unilateral decisions.

Also, as for free time, you are not necessarily giving up free time. You're just deciding to be with someone else during that free time.

Relationships are not a job.

I sincerely believe most of us want to live.

That being said, if your wife/girlfriend is bi, it can be fun to see her fangirl over a beautiful woman.
