I do get along with people. I'm one of the more amiable and conscientious people around. I get the impression that most people like me. That doesn't build friendships though and it certainly doesn't give me opportunities to date. With the latter, my niceness is never going to make up for how I look and my gender.
I don't really want people to know I get anxious and shy around people I find really attractive. That's embarrassing enough as a teenager, let alone as an adult. Besides, I don't feel like I've been here long enough for anyone to know my faults yet.
I also don't know anything about rural life...I've always lived in cities, either in a suburban or urban environment. There were people like me around and the options for socializing and entertainment were different. I don't know...maybe there actually is someone single around here that I would find attractive enough to pretend to be a girl for like my last relationship.
