I keep being told this and im honestly sick of it. I am discovering new hobbies, lost lots of weight and go to the gym and try to balence my education and relaxation time and do a fairly good job of it.

What do i now? Despite all of this im clueless in dating. Im surrounded by girls in class and on camphs and i can talk to them but only as one would do to a stranger. Do i just ask them out? How long do i talk to them first for? How many can i ask out in a day or week without coming off as some sort of desperate creep?

The few dates i have gone on have not gone well. Im very polite but i dont talk much and i dont go for touch at all even if its the 2nd or 3rd date. It feels creepy to me.

Do i just need to go on more dates? Will this thing magically come to me eventually?
