Hello everyone.

I posted a question 2 years ago and got a few responses, took and applied the suggestions but I am still alone. In fact, I have been so comfortable being single that I think I forgot how to date, flirt or have physical contact with anyone.

I am 25, single for almost three years, have been in only one serious relationship, and never really good with woman. The last time I slept with someone was 2 years ago. Parr of it has to do withmy work schedule ( I work overnight and don't have weekends off). Another part of it has to do with me moving to a new city and really not making any new friends. My life revolves around work.

My question would be, is it possible to re learn to date? Or how do I get a date? I am very comfortable with myself compared to high school. In fact, I would rather be single than in a bad relationship. But, I am just wondering if it is possible for me to break my routine and how?

Take baby steps. Why don't you start by making friends?

That would probably suit you more at the moment. Have a couple of buddies to hit the town with. Anybody at work you could grab a beer with?

I would focus on that first, building a social network. That will help you come out of your shell without dealing with the pressure involved with dating or picking up girls.

Having friends will give you more confidence too. Because if you get rejected by a girl (which happens) you won't have to go home all lonely and have only your dog to talk to. You'll actually have other human beings in your same boat who'll keep your spirits up as you mutually support and encourage each other.

Most people your age meet in a social setting. You see a girl at a bar or a party and strike up a conversation. Often you meet girls through mutual friends. So get out there and make some friends and you'll find it easier to both meet girls and have the confidence to talk to them.
