It seems like you've got a little bit carried away with your 'chatting up girls' success on the net (not critising - just an observation). You're right, that's exactly it. I would like to point out however that at no point did I attempt to "chat them up", but your statement is correct. An...

Well that was certainly short and to the point.
I guess that would solve the problem, however it would definitely not achieve what I wanted in the sense that then everyone's feelings would be hurt, not to mention I do somewhat rely on the internet for a lot of things.

Thanks for replying and for the welcome, Jim.
I'll give that a shot, thanks for the suggestion.

I wasn't sure whether to post this here, or in the self-esteem board, or in relationships, I kind of have issues with all three. Basically lately I've been feeling really down and bad about myself.
