I confess that I am bad at socializing outside the webs. At the moment I don't know how to make a move on a certain guy or find out if he is interested in more than friendship. :(

Is there a thread about love, dating, crush tips etc. that you can get help in?

That's not socialising...That's relationships

Still... I am bad at both.

That's not socialising...That's relationships

 

But doesn't getting into relationships require you to socialize with people? They kinda go hand-in-hand.

Not necessarily.

Oh? How so?

I think that you can, to an extent. It's not like Chris sings in the same way that he talks. In fact, I think he sounds more than a bit different.

 

My reasoning for not being able to compare the two is not because of similarity, but because of the opposite, kinda. I don't think that it makes much sense to compare a singing voice to a speaking voice in general. Sort of like the "apples to oranges" expression.

 

Sorry, that was a badly worded explanation. :(

No, I get what you mean. :)

 

Given that, however, that doesn't mean that I can't still have a preference. :P

Oh? How so?

 

Maybe we have different definitions of socialising

Well, what are you meaning by that?

If you by chance meet someone and have a conversation with them, love blossoms from there

 

that's not socialising is it?

 

Same goes for meeting someone online.

I do think that there is a difference between being good at socializing and being good with relationships. One can be very social, yet still not very good with relationships, I believe. There are also people who aren't into being very social, yet luckily get in a good relationship..

That's certainly true. I do agree that Chris has a wonderful speaking voice. <3

Well, you're interacting with them, aren't you? I think maybe that's how I view socializing. Socializing is interacting with other people-having a conversation, for instance. Like right now, I would say that I'm socilaizing with you.

Is talking to people on the internet really "socializing"? Hmm.

Sorry for the DP, but I had to say that you make a very good point. I didn't think of it that way.

Probably not. Maybe I'm just getting my words mixed up.

This is what one of Dictionary.com's entries says about the word "socialize":

 

socialize

verb

1. take part in social activities; interact with others; "He never socializes with his colleagues"; "The old man hates to socialize"

2. train for a social environment; "The children must be properly socialized"

3. prepare for social life; "Children have to be socialized in school"

4. make conform to socialist ideas and philosophies; "Health care should be socialized!"

 

See, that's what I was meaning. Am I not interacting with you (albeit indirectly) if I talk to you online?

If you by chance meet someone and have a conversation with them, love blossoms from there

See, this is where my chain breaks? I know love blossoms for me but I'm not sure about him.

 

There are also people who aren't into being very social, yet luckily get in a good relationship..

That's what I hope beeing, since I am not very social.

I think I have to agree with you.

I confess that I hate it when people are sad, and that I'm really worried that someone I love isn't okay right now.

 

I also confess that I'm the biggest klutz in the world. It's not a normal day for me until I've walked into a pole or ran into a glass door. :lol:

This reminds me that I have walked into a lamp post in my street and on the corner of my street 3 times. Two times was with the same lamp post. One time when I walked into the other lamp post lights went out! :lol:

Luckily I have learned from it - I haven't walked into a lamp post in years. :P

i am a scientific nerd.:P

I am scared you are gonna move on or forget about me, but on the other hand I don't want to hold you back in life, I'd never forgive myself.

I think, I know that in a couple of years my life will be complete, hopefully.

I confess I am worried, but I hope my new plans are good and work out :nice:.

I have a confession to make. Something I've been meaning to get off my chest lately.

 

I've betrayed you. I've been listening to a few other bands like Radiohead, Pixies and Porcupine Tree on my iTunes library. I know how this affects all of us, and I know my apologies probably mean nothing. But I was drunk, I had a few beers, and I didn't know what I was doing! THEY came on to ME.

 

Really, it was a one night stand. It meant nothing to me. I know this all seems gibberish, but it's going to make me feel better about the horrible thing that I've done. Obviously, I don't deserve forgiveness. :( But please, think about it. Call me.

I confess the lack of long-time members active confuses me, especially in the face of the flood of post-VLV newbies. It makes me feel old. And I'm not.

 

:D

^ I'm sure you're not old at all. :)
