I was a late bloomer too but eventually realized what I'm telling you now. Once the pain of loneliness outgrows the fear of failure maybe you'll understand.

But basically it's like failing a mission in GTA and then running amok because you've already failed anyway. There are no additional consequences once you've failed. That's it, man. The worst scenario is already there. It makes no sense to keep playing it safe.

You say that like I haven't tried and been rejected. I've tried online dating, I've tried getting close to people irl, I've even tried tinder. Nothing works. If it wasn't against the tos, there'd be 2 dozen people in here agreeing that I'm just a piece of shit. Most of which were the only friends I've ever had.

I don't doubt that you've tried but failure is to be expected. Fail and fail again but keep trying.

I would recommend staying off of Tinder. It's just going to make you feel worse. If I were you I would just focus on talking to lots of girls online without putting any expectations on it. It can still be a huge confidence booster just to be able to keep a girl's attention for a while. It may be 1 in 20 that go past the initial greeting but it's a numbers game really. Small steps can lead to big things.
