    I don't know how to have a relationship. I don't know where to start. I know how to be a sister, daughter, employee, friend, but girlfriend

    Hi Shasta,

    I know what you mean and can empathize with your plight. I am socially awkward, so find it hard to get to know people. Or go out of my way to go to social functions, where generally people are to be found! I usually meet people through them initiating contact, and at that my social circle is very limited.

    The fact that you are able to be a good friend is, I think, your key to finding someone. Obviously the first step in a relationship is meeting someone you like. And that can happen in quite unexpected ways. I wouldn't overthink it. You can't force yourself to like someone. If you are more outgoing, try frequenting places that interest you. You are bound to meet likeminded people that way. And then take babysteps. Most importantly be yourself, don't try to please others just to get attention.

    Just a few thoughts.
