ContraBardus Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 But right now, yeah, I have no chance to socialize outside my family at all. I live with my grandma, and she's so strict, she wouldn't let me go out with people as a teen and not even today! In the past when I did live on my own, I still had a hard time doing that. And well I was never taught about love or dating, I had no clue what it is like, and sometimes I feel like no guy will ever like me to show me. Plus yes, I haven't been out much, I don't really know where to go. Right now I have no transportation, I live out in the country and can't walk anywhere, etc... It sounds like the first thing you need to concentrate on is finding the means to move out on your own again. I rode a bicycle about 45 minutes to work when I was 16 (boy, did my butt get sore!), until I had saved up enough money for a car and first year of insurance, after which I drove to work. Would something like that be a possibility for you? If not, is there another family member or friend from high school or college who will take you in for a while, who is less strict and lives closer to civilization so you can get to and from a job? In the meantime, perhaps someone will give you the password to the sex forum, where you can discuss these things in depth and read what others have gone through post-Christianity. I have access to that forum, but don't know the policy here on giving it out and don't want to step on anyone's toes. By the time you have better opportunity for romantic relationships, the advice you find here can help you have better success the 2nd time around. There's a thread about that right here. The short version, just PM any Mod or Admin and ask for it and they'll give you the password. As I understand it, the only reason the password is there is to prevent the topics there from showing up in search engines, and to keep new and sensitive members from stumbling into a sexually explicit topic they can't handle and scaring them off. It's not like going to a porn site or anything, but the topics are often of a frank sexual nature in there. It makes some folks uncomfortable. It's there to help former Christians deal with issues of a sexual nature and topics just like this one. I'd liken it more to an advice column than anything really 'dirty'. There's a few fun threads, but for the most part it's a pretty serious and straightforward place. Also, as mentioned. Don't take me to seriously. I certainly don't. I do have a tendency to rant a bit, and go line by line. Though, I should point out, my post here wasn't one of those times. I should also point out, that I have difficulty getting through an entire post being completely serious. Which is why I don't post in certain areas very often. My sarcasm and sense of humor gets the better of me too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noob Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I would be the last person in the world to give advice on this subject. My mate selection skills are extremely poor. (I started to say they suck, and then thought better of it.) I just had to respond and say that every time I see this thread, I wonder if any one has any suggestons on the best way to lose a wife/husband!
