About swimming: I think I have somekind of phobia, possibly a fear of drowning, that keeps me away from water. I just dont want to learn how to swim.

Making friends around here (where I live) is little hard because many youngsters share one thing which I dont: drinking.

Falling in love would be a very good option, but Im a little bit shy.

Oh well, Il stop nagging about the 5-hour limit and maybe "just rest". (Im pretty sure that my mom starts calling me lazy then.)

Amen to that.

I have one of those funny psychological limitations, too. After once trying to suck in a lungfull of water through a snorkel, I now have some irrational attitudes about getting wet. I manage to do it, anyways, for the purposes of personal hygiene, and will actually enjoy swimming once I get myself into the water, but I am quite the procrastinator, when it comes to immersing myself.

Falling in love for shy people:

LEARN TO SMILE!!

When you make eye contact with a person of appropriate gender, smile at them. If they smile back, introduce yourself. If they seem talkative, learn a little about them. If they ask about you, just answer the questions. Be honest, as there is no wrong answer-- if your interests do not match up with theirs, you are MUCH better off parting ways. If there is mutual interest, ask them out for something simple. Be prepared to only be their friend. There are further steps that I do not understand, despite having succesfully muddled through them, once (married, thirteen years, four children).

My own personal advice is to never have sex with anyone that you would not want spend the rest of your life with, as breaking up after physical intimacy leads to the worst kinds of hurt (not that I have any personal experience of this [enough christian moralising]).
