| (20m) know I can't demand love or force it. I started working on myself, going to the gym, I'm in school, getting a license soon, and I have a stable job. I don't think of women as objects or anything like that. I talk to women every day without a problem and treat them with respect. The school I go to is mostly women, and I'm the only guy student. I'm not the type to hit up people at the school. I'm trying to get my certificate like everyone else and not make anyone uncomfortable. I don't go up to women in public too much besides at work. I'm afraid they might think I'm creepy and tell people I'm harassing them. I also don't want to get confused when a woman is being nice and think she likes me. My friends tell me it's a sign, but I'm not trying to make anyone feel uncomfortable because of that kind of misunderstanding. I know a lot of guys fall for women who've been nice to them once and start following them like a puppy. I don't know what to do. There's no book, no guide, or anything that can help me. I've been myself, but being myself is crap. I want to fall in love like every other person, but I don't ever think that's gonna happen. My mom says I'm going to meet someone, but she's giving me false hope. I don't want to live a life where everyone around me is finding love. I don't even think that if I accomplish my goals, I will find someone. I feel hopeless and empty. I just want a normal life experience like everyone else.
