So to start off, I’ve never been on a date, in a relationship, nothing physical. I don’t hug any one, have never held hands; the absolute most I’ve done is high five people. Also, because some people seem to find this important for some reason, I’m currently 27 years of age.
My question is thus; I want to date some one, but I absolutely loathe the idea of doing so. I want the good things that every one seems to get, such as intimacy, sex, … Uh… some one to play video games with. Okay, I don’t know what all the good things are, but people just seem happy. Even those who are currently single but have dated in the past seem happier than me.
On the other hand, I simply hate the idea of doing it. I know for a fact there will be three possibilities to asking some one out. 1: Good: The reply in the negative and I can walk away. 2: They accept, but eventually dump me for never having any physical contact with them. 3: They rape me. Besides that, I also know that I’d severely frustrate any one I was in a relationship of any sort by simply never doing the right things at the right times, and they just want… to yell at me… or leave… or whatever.
So… what should I do? Inb4 some one says “see a therapist,” because that is FAR outside my financial means, and will remain so for several years/decades.
