Hello, I'm C9316 (better known as just C9 to my friends), and I am an introvert. I dislike being in large groups of people chatting idly, I in fact find being in a function where tons of people are talking over one another to the point that you can't hear yourself think to be boring and draining. I am also 18 years old, and unlike most people my age I don't like going clubbing, getting drunk, and eventually brawling in the street over something dumb. No I prefer reading a good book, watching some good televison, playing video games, and more recently pondering my place in the universe. Now I know I must sound boring to some of you people here, but if we had a one on one chat I'm sure you'd appreciate my own unique personality. But back on topic I'd like to know if any of y'all had any advice you could share with me on finding love. And I guess another thing about me that differs from most 18 years olds is I don't want to date casually, I want to find someone I can be in a committed relationship with. Any helpful advice will do...

Step 1: Find object of your affection. This may be based on personality, looks, or a combination thereof.
Step 2: Club said person on the head and drag back to cave.
Step 3: Wait until said person regains consciousness and initiate conversations.
Step 4: Hire good lawyer to avoid any potential lawsuits regarding clubbing referenced in Step 2.

List of things you can do.
1: Turn bisexual. More options.
2: Dating sites.
3: Ask advice from people other than lonely nerds. >_> <_<
4: Make spaghetti. B***es love spaghetti.
5: Google it.
6: get rid of your hobo. If a lady friend wants to come over, they may be a bit disturbed by him watching the two of you from the corner. Especially if you two want to do something... Dirty...
7: Get rich, then the women will flock.

 Well, you could stop using video game forums and go out and meet people.:P

But what do I know, I often go years between hugs. :unsure:

...And I've never been on a date.:(

........And I haven't had a single visitor in five years, spending months at a time alone. :crying:

What is this, Introverts Anonymous?

I feel for you, C9316, because I'm much the same. If you do not like going to parties and such, don't go. Any girl you find there is likely to be a "party" girl and not your type.
As they always say, find some group that does what you do, whether that be a book club, or doing something like skiing, or really anything that you find interesting. If this fails you could always throw on a pair of skinny jeans and fake, thick glasses, rent a Mac laptop, grab a nice thick Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter book and hang out at your local Starbucks at the same time everyday. When the other regulars notice you, they'll be sure to welcome you with open arms.

Another thing you may want to do is change your name. Saying, "My name is C9316" is a bit of a handful. You should change it to something else, like Slater or Taylor.

Edit: Also, making your profile pic NOT look like Fluttershy is going down on Spiderman might help as well. Seriously, I've double and triple-taked when my eyes passed over that thing.

You could get into polishing the footstones. Tapping the midnight still, if you will. Forging the moaning statue. Bucking the forbidden horse. Donning the velvet hat. Or even rub the foreman's elbow.

If you're not happy, do something about it. Go meet people, you like to read join a book club. You don't like to party join a debate team, cooking club, I dunno but go out and meet new people. You play video games then try to find people that do too in your area. Don't try to find love. Love just happens, you have no choice of when or where. And being social is a give or take, you can't just avoid people because they like to drink. Just like you don't want them to avoid you because you like to read. Long story short. Be yourself, and don't be an ass.

Yeah, those don't even sound real.  Where would those euphemisms come from anyway?

Nevermind, I don't want to know.

You seriously need an easy button. You can't date if your not social, not really. I think dating as an introvert would make you rather clingy to who you do get cause you may be afraid to try again, but I dunno.

I'm an introvert, and I figure chances are extremely low I'll ever have a girlfriend or get married.

So OP, you're not alone.

You will find that person when you least expect it.

And not talk to them, stutter, or bore them to death. ^_^
