    Aww, no, I understood what you meant completely. I feel the same way. I think you can be just as close to online friends as offline ones, but when there's that much distance between you, things are always going to be a little bit different. You need people close to you that you can actually see, talk to and hang out with every day.

    You should try and meet up sometime! If coming to the other end of the world has taught me anything, it's that the world really isn't that big a place in this day and age. Doubly so if you and your friends are in the same country!

    She lives about a mile away from where my ex lives. I think it may bring up a lot of bad memories.

    But she's awesome, I definitely do want to meet her eventually!

    Yeah, what Rok said. You have to start somewhere even if you believe you are socially inept at present; it's the only way you are going to improve. Patience, trial and error.

    You have to think what you would have to lose if you did engage in a conversation about cars with that person you spoke of earlier - nothing, right?

    Aww, yeah, the internet makes learning languages sooooo much easier. Learning a language yourself without living in the country must have been a total nightmare for people of previous generations.

    Don't wanna look a tit in front of work colleagues.

    We did talk about car insurance one day, he asked if I had a car yet, said I can't afford one yet, he started asking about quotes and stuff. But the conversation ended after a few sentences, lol

    Because of the distance and me working all the time. I was going to see if she wants to hang out when I can next have a holiday from work.

    Create good memories with her, and the bad ones will quickly go away, I'm sure.

    You not wanting to look a tit is a mistake right there.

    If you take yourself too serious or are so self-conscious, you're gonna come across as awkward. Who's to say they don't think you're a tit right now, a very quiet one at that?

    I'm VERY self conscious.

    I'm also really awkward to talk to, I get flustered and say ridiculous things. I have no social skills at all.

    I agree with this. I've learned over the last however many years that being awkward and clearly uncomfortable alienates people a lot more than talking does. Well... of course it depends what you talk about, but generally speaking. Of course you don't have to be loud either. It's fine to be quiet, if you're happy like that. But if your being quiet is clearly the result of you not being comfortable, people will notice that, and it'll put them on edge.

    I think people have noticed I'm quiet and awkward. I've been there 9 months now and there's only about 3 people I can have a conversation with.
