I don't really know why people feel like they need to set everyone up with someone. I have been told it is because they are happy and they want me to be happy too, but I am happy and I may be a bit hung up on thinking about relationships and what I want in mine but that is just my mind doing overtime nothing serious. now my big brother is probably my best friend and he tells me exactly what I need to hear and he thinks I should go out more. I have my thoughts on comfort zones and I think you can grow inside it you don't have to leave it to grow, I feel like I have grown a lot in the past 2 years and I have very slowly widened my horizon without jumping out and taking chances.

My brother also says that I will meet someone when I am ready and that is fine but he also says that I use tv as a relationship substitute. in this year and a half of being alone I have watched all seven seasons of Star trek ds9, all ten seasons of Stargate sg1, all seven of Buffy the vampire slayer, all four or five of the Big Bang Theory, all of Torchwood, all movies Sofia Coppola has directed and most of Woody Allen, most of Jason Schwartzman movies all of Wes Anderson movies and a few movies more and I am tracking on the internet new episodes of a lot of different shows. I spend my evenings with them and laugh and even cry with them (like when Ianto died,I am still sad about that) like I have said before I also talk to the tv. maybe my brother is right, not that it matters a whole lot I have enjoyed watching these shows.

I am so rambling right now about things that don't matter, mainly because I should be writing an essay.

    I do that too, Helga, and I don't think it's a bad thing, but I think we should both try something else also. Add to the mix.

    Maybe you could agree to go out on a blind date just occasionally, but maybe you could also tell your brother and well-meaning sisters-in-law that you'd like it better if you could all do something together. I have no idea what that would be. You all seem fairly active,but I don't know the things your family likes to do. Camping? Game or movie night? Once in while they could bring along a friend.

    Also, as you are in school maybe you could join in an activity or club there that sounds fun. Just one. Baby steps.

    It will go well, whatever you come up with.

    I like Qimi's suggestions, especially joining a school activity.

    I think you should do what you really want to do and ignore other people. If you want to spend your free time watching tv for another year and you enjoy that, there's not a thing wrong with it. If you want to spend some time with someone in the short-term, I wouldn't go on a blind date, I would pick out someone, perhaps in one of your classes, and ask him to go to library and study with you, or to go have coffee with you. I know that's not really your "style" but nevertheless, I'd do that before I'd have other people pick someone for me.

    If by school activity they mean a group activity - I think you're like me in that you don't enjoy a lot of those group things, but it would be good for anyone who likes that.
