My mom is pretty over-protective, so she won't let me date anyone yet. We don't even talk about it because she makes me uncomfortable. I also come from a small school and the boys there are more like brothers than crushes. But since I started cutting myself I realized just how alone I feel, and I want to do something about it. I think that because I turned over a new leaf when I stopped self-injury, I should do the same now, but I don't know how. I'm a reserved person and sort of anti-social, so I don't know how to even meet someone, let alone work up the courage to talk to my mom about it.
But I don't want to be alone forever. I've seen people who are crazy for eachother and how wonderful it makes them feel. I really want something like that. Someone I could really be myself and be honest around.
But how???:confused:
I really need help, so please reply!

I think that everything happens in its own due time, and I don't think you can rush things, you know? be patient, be open, and I have faith that it'll happen for you :)

Rushing things doesn't help, but you can try and just expand your group of friends to get to know more people. If you don't feel like you can talk to your mom about it, then just try and get out and get to know more people just as friends - join a club, start up a sport, anything. In my experience, friendship is a good starting point for a relationship, and maybe having a good support group might even make you feel strong enough to talk to your mom about it.

Ok, I definitely won't rush it! and I guess your right, it will just happen. I"ll start hanging out with more people, and go with the flow.
Thanks for your help
