Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Rosko, you're not alone. I just had one of my employees explain to me with a lot of emphasis, that I need to find a girlfriend and take her on vacation. It is my number one priority.
I just dont find people that work with my weirdness too often. But like you I think I'm a pretty ok guy.
Now I have to go home and watch Away from Her and have a good cry.
If you need a girl to take on vacation in a few months, I can be at O'hare in one hour.
Single fellas and ladies, your lonely days are over. I am currently accepting applications* for my new Inforoo match making service. Belgian Torpedo is my reference. Come to Bonnaroo with me and meet the man/woman of your dreams!
Like I said, I have a hard time getting people to see who I really am. And even if they did I don't know if that'd be enough.
Challenge #1. If you don't think you're good enough, neither will she. You are a unique, special person with some qualities that make you extraordinary compared to EVERYONE else. This is your biggest ASSET not your biggest DRAWBACK. Glass is full, not half full, not half empty. Believe this and you're 90% there.
I think I'm not good at first impressions and showing people "the real me" right off the bat. It's definitely been a trend in my life that people don't know what to make of me when they first meet me and then when they really get to know me they generally like me.
Challenge #2, easily fixed. Baseball players take thousands of practice swings before a game. If you get out of your comfort zone and just talk to women even if you think they are "out of your league" (bullsh*t statement all around) eventually you won't be nervous anymore and your best self will come out from the get-go.
which leads me to challenge #3: You are putting too much pressure on yourself. If this is something that's always on your mind, and want terribly to find a girlfriend, it will be more difficult because women can SMELL that on you. It comes off as desperation (even though it isn't that - at all).
So to review
1 - you're awesome, own your awesomeness 2 - talk to women, its easy once you realize it's easy 3 - you don't need anyone. You're still awesome without a girlfriend.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
This. She's not in Inforooster, but a personal friend. She's pretty much an honorary Inforooster at this point though because she came to Brunch and now knows a bunch of folks now!

karosko, I feel kinda like you do. I would like to start dating again, it's been over two and a half years since I ended things with my fiance. But I don't think there is anyone nearby who would even be interested in having anything real with me and who would be compatible. I feel like it's me, that there is something wrong with me and that's why I am single. I'm not out searching, but I've definitely been keeping my eyes open and I've found absolutely nothing. It doesn't help matters that my ex-fiance is still to this day trying to contact (electronically stalking) me and my daughter's father has the crazy idea that we can start things over now that he's getting a divorce. I left him 12 years ago and have made it clear all this time that I want nothing to do with him but I don't think he's ever heard a word of it. I don't want to get into another relationship and have another batshit crazy stalker if things don't work out. I think for some reason that's all that's attracted to me.
I don't think you have much to worry about there NoD.
Except with the increasing amount of Inforoo relationships, not much surprises me anymore. I need a chart to keep up with who is with who, who is not with who, who broke up with who, who got a restraining order on who, etc...

I'm basically in a Ross and Rachel situation and have been for damn near 19 years. I can't seem to quit him. No matter how long or how far apart we've been, we always find out way back to each other. I need to move on because I'm pretty sure there's never going to be a happy ending to this. The problem is him and it's making me sick.
How do I always get stuck in the friend zone. I must be the best damn friend on earth
Ignore Jimmy. I'm an asshole and I'm single, so that's not the fail-proof plan people would have you think it is.
Ask yourself this question:
Did you make yourself available romantically?
If you don't know the answer to #1, the answer is "no." Did you make it known you're single? Looking? Interested? Did you flirt? Or did you get really quiet and shy? What women find attractive is confidence (not news to anyone). People confuse this for them liking "assholes," because assholes tend to exude confidence, whether genuine or fake.
Zapp and Tom are both nice guys and they've done quite well for themselves in the lady department, so don't listen to the mantra that you have to be an asshole to get a girlfriend. Be genuine and open up, and if your'e still friendzoned it's a good thing because whatever relationship that would have hypothetically sprouted from your friendship with this person wouldn't last. I've tried, it's a disaster every time.

I see how it is.
Everyone just assumes in your case Abra suffers from Bad-Jack-Black-Movie-Plotism. It's the only explanation

Have you tried growing a beard?
I've got a pretty awesome bread IMO lol. And its not like I'm closed off and shy. I'm very out going and open. I love to go out and have fun (typical libra) and most first dates seem to go well but I can't seem, no matter what, to get past that. I've almost completely given up. I blame the radiation around here.
