Well, bizarrely, in the past two days I managed to start talking to two different women on OKCupid. It never rains then it pours.
Both grew up overseas; I've noticed a pattern with this (2 out of 3 women I've been with in my life were foreign) and I think that with women from other cultures my social awkwardness is somewhat drowned out by the usual awkwardness of a mild language barrier and cultural differences.
One of them, a girl from Japan, has agreed to a date this weekend; I think I got in her good books by talking to her in what rudimentary Japanese I remember from my time there as an exchange student and studying it at high school.
Open to any and all pointers haha
