Hi. I live in the UK and have recently started to get to know a Polish girl who I really like. Even though we haven't actually been out on a date yet, we have been texting each other and I think a date is likely. What I want to know is - can any Polish girls give me any advice? Are there any big...

I haven't dated for many, many years. In fact I was a teenager the last time I dated someone...I'm now in my mid 40's!!! I've come close a few times, but for one reason or another it just hasn't happened. Tbh I've got used to being alone, though hoped that one day I might meet that special...

It's potentially "must-see" anyway. There's a programme on in the afternoons on ITV called "The Speakmans". They are two therapists who deal with a different person's phobia every episode. This Friday (25 July) it's someone with social anxiety, which needless to say could be interesting viewing...

How many dates do you think you can go on with someone before you can ask what their plans are for kids? I don't want any kids so for me this is a deal breaker. This is why I like online dating cos it clearly states in my profile that I don't want any. However there's a girl I really fancy at...

My mate has been going out with this girl for a few years now and they are getting married in the summer...but I've never actually met her! Obviously I've heard all about her and she's heard about me. Tomorrow I am going to their home to finally meet the family (they have kids too) as it would...

Ok I've been on Citalopram now for about 2-3 months, one 20mg tablet a day. I had a month or so where it really started to kick in - I didn't have my usual mood swings and was in a good mood almost every day, and I found it easier to talk/interact with other people. Generally things were looking...

This is gonna sound like a strange question, but bear with me - How are the seats arranged on a DLR train? Are they all facing each other like on the tube, facing the same direction like on most trains, or a combination of both? I never use the tube in London cos it's a nightmare for my SA -...

I have some changes coming soon in my job which are causing me anxiety. So far this has been mostly in the form of loss of sleep, and knots/butterflies in my stomach. I went to my doc who prescribed me some anti-depressants (Citalopram) for the anxiety, and some (low dosage) sleeping tabs. I've...

If you're female and a guy tells you that you have a great smile how would you feel? Obviously everyone's different, but is it creepy? Is it simply what it is - a compliment? Am I seriously overthinking this?!? Anyway, I'm a postman and deliver to lots of shops. In one shop where this girl...

I belong to a dating site that lets you message people for free. Sometimes I get nice, friendly messages from women, but who I'm not attracted to. How would you deal with this? I could just not reply, but if they've taken the time to send you a nice message then I kinda feel obligated to reply...

I haven't been on holiday for a long time - something like 20+ years :eek: This is obviously due to my SP, plus I've had no one to go with. Anyway I have a bit of money saved up right now (one of the perks of not having a social life! ;)) so am thinking if taking a short trip - probably just a...

For me... Get up at 5am for work :eek: Go to work ::(: Get home early/mid afternoon Have lunch Go for a kip (After Kip) Surf internet for a while, check emails etc Do any houesehold chores Play videogames and/or watch a movie, listen to some music etc (this will take up the bulk of the evening)...

Does that make me selfish? I guess so. My mate hadn't even been in touch for about 4 months - that in itself pissed me off - then the other night he sends me a text (at nearly midnight - I was up for work at 5am!) to say he was on the way to the hospital. Then I get another text at 4.30am which...

Anyone been watching this? I imagine a lot of people here on this forum (myself included) can relate to some of the people in this TV series. There was a guy in the first episode who had Aspergers Syndrome, which I guess is the closest thing to SAD/SP. Some of the first dates shown I have found...

I don't see most of my family much, apart from my parents who I see once a week (I live on my own). However even them I find quite annoying sometimes. WTF is wrong with me? They sometimes try ringing me over stupid little things. Or when I visit my dad will often be overly...

I have belonged to a dating site for a while now, but have never made contact with anyone yet (for various reasons). Anyway, someone has just sent me a "flirt" and I quite like her. She's attractive, and I like her profile. Thing is I haven't dated for a LONG time, so just the thought of dating...

My "best" friend - of over 20 years - got engaged just over 2 weeks ago and has yet to tell me! I found out by accident when I briefly reactivated my Facebook account and saw it on his wall. Here's the story (short version I promise!...) I used to see him quite regularly, but at the beginning of...

I live in a house that is split into downstairs & upstairs flats (or apartments to US readers ;)). Yesterday a new neighbour moved into the flat under me and as yet haven't met her. What's the usual etiquette - should I introduce myself to her or vice versa? Also anyone have any conversation...

I haven't been away on a holiday for just over 20 years! :eek: The last time I went was with my family, in my late teens. Even though there are loads of places I'd like to go, I am too self-conscious to go away on my own. What few friends I have now go with their partners/own families. I hate...

It's probably a silly question in a social phobia forum, but does SP/SAD single-handedly stop you from ever getting married and/or having kids? Has anyone here actually managed to do either of these things whilst battling with SP? Whether I want to get married or not, just the thought of being...
