University Boredom....

2 5 +

Was she entranced by "I don't see what's wrong with girls who aren't stunningly beauitful."?

I hope so. I have my own ideas. "I don't mind fat chicks", and "Come with me, I can just about tolerate your facial disfigurement" will surely go down a storm.

Sorry what i mean is if she has a good personality and she's not stunning then thats good enough, on the other hand if i get approached by a girl who is really good looking but at the same time she's really arrogant i would not touch her with a barge pole.

you're a bit of a bellend

And you're very presumptious. He only suggested a viable way of curing his problem.... (ahem). What's so wrong with that?

I can understand people who take a decision not to drink, but I think it's a bit silly for someone to just say "I don't go to clubs".

Which applies to the vast expanses of various religious cultures and minority groups.

I don't really enjoy going to clubs, i would much rather go to a house party or a pub where you can actually hear what someone is saying to you. But actually it might just be me, i have no medical proof but i am sure my hearing isn't brilliant so i spend most of my time in clubs saying "WHAT??" or just nodding. lol.

Alot of people cant stand clubs as they are too loud and crowded. Not a big fan of them myself, pubs are much nicer.

To the OP go and see the sights in london or something that should take the boredom away you might meet people on the way too.

why? Maybe he's tried it and doesn't like it. What's so weird about that?

it was completely irrelevant... the guy already says he doesn't drink or go clubbing. Why suggest it? Like someone else said, if doing that isn't in your personality it's never going to be enjoyable.

jeez..... people wont just come looking for you.. as hard as it may seem, you are going to have to make the effort to actually meet people. Societies dont come with a goody bag with a load of free mates inside...... you have to actually find people and go out with them.

haha yes i know :smile:

in uni, i approached people with a smile, and got chatting gladyly with a few of them, which the whole of this week have continued to talk to me, which is a good sign for me :smile:

unfortunately none are the type that enjoy going out...

ill be patient for now!, and see what happens after a few more weeks

Well you did pick one of the hardest places to make friends whilst at uni. A lot of my friends that went to London felt very isolated because they lived miles from everyone else. The way to deal with it is work really hard at your socialising. Go join societies, try out a sport, if people ask you to go out then go (you can have non-alcoholic drinks and nobody will bat an eyelid). To put it simply if being home alone makes you bored then don't be at home so much.

A great way to meet similar people to you is go do the things you want to do and invite others along. Mention to some of the people on your course that you're going to see such and such movie on Tues and do they want to go. Everyone is settling in and wanting to make friends and often will appreciate the invite.

pmsl, funny thread.

LOL, i think my hearing is quite bad, or perhaps i get to distracted by listening to the lyrics of songs in clubs. Some of my mates hear everything people say to them. i feel like hard work cos if a guy comes over to chat to me i reckon he'll regret it as i keep asking for a repeat.

Ya, half the time when I'm at the bar I end up with a drink with everything in it, as I just keep on nodding and smiling to whatever the barman says! It probably goes something like this:

Barman: You want ice?
Me: Nods and smiles

Barman: Single or double?
Me: Nods and smiles

Barman: No, single OR double??
Me: Gamely nods and smiles

Barman: Are you deaf or something?
Me: Nods and smiles

Barman: Fine, you dense piece of sh*t, that'll be £9.55 for my trouble
Me: Nods, smiles, hands over £10 note and waits inconspicuously to see if there was any change. When none is forthcoming, I go and look for friends to smile and nod at :smile:
