    Gosh Craig just from reading and answering your Q!A I think your A-OK. Nothing wrong with being quite, I wish I could do it more often, but I'm called upon weekly to address groups of people numbering into 200/300. Safety meetings are just part of my job...As for the lack of femaleage, if thats your picture im suprised they ain't comeing to you. Relax, your young, everything happens in time, I think you'll be allright...

    Lol I dont drink, smoke or do drugs either. My friends accept that, but it does make you feel like an outsider esp at uni where everyone got drunk and partied! You are who you are. If you're a nice person people will see that and not smoking/drinking/drugs wont matter. If those things are that important to someone then they're not worth knowing to be honest! So I dont think it is either bad or that strange. You will meet a nice girl who will appreciate your good manners and chivalry!

    You sound very sincere and nice - hang in there - being different is not bad or wrong. using manners these days is out of the ordinary - most people dont know what to do when a door is held open for them. I dont smoke, do drugs or drink either - and yeah, people wonder how i can have a good time, but I do, AND i dont wake up with hangovers either! :)

    Do you mean that you've never had any relationship with a female or that you've not had a romantic, intimate or personal relationship ? More importantly do you want to -and is that the impetus behind your statement/question ? It is not necessary to be highly social or congenial to have such relationships although it is helpful and will definitely broaden the pool of availability -- if you know what I mean. Some people do not socialize because they really just don't care for or about other people --- they are in essence antisocial. Others don't because they feel vulnerable, insecure or are unwilling to risk rejection. Still others don't because they do not have the knowledge, skill or tools to create and sustain interaction. Do any of these fit your circumstance ? --- Because my answer to you would be based on that. If you add details and edit I can give you a better answer to your question.

    Not that I'm trying to flirt with you, but you are the kinda guy who attracts me a lot. I would strive to have a guy like you.

    I don't think you're strange or weird. It's totally normal to be quiet and me personally respect ppl who don't drink alcohol, smoke or do drugs.

    Good for u and ur health.

    yeh i know what you mean, i'm very much the same, i don't really like pure "social" situations like going to the pub, it bores me so i joined a couple of hobby clubs and one of which was to play board games, find something you are interested in and it's easier to talk about a subject if you are with other people who enjoy it too.

    Plus i met my fiance at the club and i hadn't had a previous relationship either and thought i was destined to be alone.

    I guess it is strange because not many other people are the same or even understand but i like who i am and there's nothing wrong with it.

    Source(s): i'm 21 also.

    My boyfriend is 21 as well and could care less about drinking or the rest of that. He's a computer nerd :P And talk about quiet...this kid hardly EVER talked (til he got around me, now he's used to me and never shuts up!)

    He didn't have his first girlfriend or kiss til he was 19 (it was me! :D) I'm sure you'll find the right girl for you. We're not all pompous biatches who only go for jocks and jerks. Just hang in there :)

    Nothing strange about that, some people love being sociable 24/7 and others are more introverted and prefer being alone.

    Personally I like people in general for about half hour or so then I've had enough!

    You sound really sincere. It's not strange at all that you're quiet ect... Some women would kill for a guy who deosn't drink do drugs ect.. she'll come, I know it's hard to wait but she will.

  • 1 decade ago
