OP was extremely vague about his problem. For all we know it’s an area problem where he’s having a hard time meeting people with similar social interests which an app would help with. Maybe he has a disability and just thinks there isn’t anyone out there willing to date him. Either way people who think they’re…

It is. As soon as you stop putting so much pressure on yourself and making it a big deal, it’ll happen. And if it doesn’t, then who cares. It doesn’t make you any different of a person if you have or have not had sex.

Go to a bar or go online. Treat people like human beings, not sexual goals. Have a few drinks and…

I think this has become my favorite regular Kotaku segment. Cheers, Dr. NerdLove!

Totally tangential, but +1 to virgin writer for being a fan of Dragonlance/Death Gate.

“I feel like my life is empty and meaningless without romantic involvement.”

Thanks for posting these. May not apply to everyone, but I have found some wisdom in almost every article.

Starting at 0:20 :)

Thanks for the advice, Dr. Nerdlove. I haven’t been able to get into contact with her, so I’m not sure what’s going on. Its slowly, but surely, dissipating, as you say. But your advice, along with other comments, help deal with my situation. Ready to move on and understand now that it might not happen, so thanks!

Solid advice.

Hard to say if there was a deep and meaningful emotional bond in two days... I try to avoid those feelings if at all possible as it didn’t work out so well last time! But you’re right, if she does find someone else then I can’t be angry with her; it would be no surprise really, especially when I’m long distance. I’d…

Doc, I think I may like your Litany Against Fear better than Frank Herbert’s, if that’s not too sacreligious a claim. However, I think I like LW2’s “mental old granny with the cats” better than your “jerkbrain”. Perhaps you could steal it from him (with one of those handy footnote/parenthetical citations you do when…

And Doc’s advice is pretty much the rest:

I get it. I’m a 38 cis (straight) male, but if I were attracted to men, it would be guys exactly like this. Other candidates include Trent Reznor, I think maybe Downward Spiral Trent. But this guy, he has so much character, he looks interesting, and like a thinking man. He’s not just a smile and a body like the Rock.…

Fear is the mindkiller. Fear is the little death.

You know he was just referring to the part where he predicts someone will say “OMG that’s just like a movie”, right?

He has a face like a squished hatchet. Which is actually kind of impressive to the point of being striking. But lucky for humans in general, different people have different tastes and are attracted to different things in other people.

Really? I mean, I can see that topic being repetitive, but this week one letter was from a guy who already had a girl and another was from a guy who’d at least hooked up with the girl he wanted more with.

“No matter how hot some dude is, there’re women out there who wouldn’t bang him with a rented vagina and Stephen Amell to do the pushing.”

For the last writer, a lot of time it’s about compromise. I’m visually impaired and my best friend gets motion sick. I can’t play most FPS because of issues with colour and tracking movement. He can’t play certain types of platformers or in certain environments.
