You have a job

You spent time with someone else. Someone who obviously also wants to spend time with you back

You have enough money to indulge in your hobbies (vidya)

Believe me, you're further than some people. It's natural to want to be better, and I support your efforts to be so, but you can do so without putting yourself down. It's hard, and I don't expect you to read this post and go "I'm cured!!111" but believe me, it's possible!

maybe, but its hard to think otherwise, if I wasnt complete trash I wouldnt be where Im at in my life, Id have friends, I wouldnt be a 27 year old permavirgin with a completely platonic lunch with a coworker being the closest thing to a date Ive ever been on, I wouldnt be still living with my parents, etc
I know it hurts. It sucks. But the world will beat you up enough, no need to do it yourself.

If you can handle a lunch with a girl without making her regret it you're not as bad as you seem to think you are.

That's not saying anything about this girl specifically. Just at the very least it means you're good enough to actually have some sort of a social life and the better you are at that the more likely you'll connect with someone.

Yeah after thinking about this I feel nowhere near as good about it as I did earlier today
Don't. I let my self-doubt and fear stop me from asking out a coworker who I'm fairly certain was interested, at least a little. To the point where some others legit thought we had a thing. Don't be a coward like me, you'll just hate yourself for it.

people just want to throw themselves a pity party so they have an excuse to blame their failure on external factors. they're afraid that if they actually got in shape, dressed well and was successful and girls still didn't like them, they'd have nothing to blame their failures on. it's easier to make excuses and loathe in self pity than actually try change

If I cut it any shorter I may as well shave it all off and I cant pull off that look right now.

losing weight is a valid point but fuck that takes so much time and effort

Dude you are not the ugly monster you have been making yourself out to be. You have actual cuteness potential. Consider shaving your head and getting some stylish frames, something to add a little panache. And yes, obviously work on your health. You don't need to work too hard. The hardest part is calorie counting. Make a myfitnesspal acct and start taking a walk every day. Even 20 minutes is good

Like damn man after seeing your pic you are just a thousand times way too hard on yourself

You are far from ugly. I think you actually have a nice face. If I described you, I'd say you are distinctly in the cute category. Sure, you could lose some weight, but honestly it doesn't even look that bad on you.

I firmly believe you are capable of turning things around. You just need a bit of success to fuel the idea that you can.

your aesthetic is just as important as weight, if not even more so in some ways

shave or buzz your hair would be a big bump up imo. I think the right glasses would add some variety to your face, break up the monotone that would be present if you shaved your hair. Get clothes that fit. Like snug, but not tight. That part will take a lot of trial and error if you're not used to it

How's your posture? Good posture instantly adds +1 to your attractiveness. Like NO guys have good posture. So few. Do it. Chest out, shoulders back. Do it even if you have moobs. A tight undershirt under a snug fit shirt or sweater will dampen them a lot. Seriously, if you don't have good posture start working on it. It'll take a while til you don't have to consciously do it anymore but it's so fucking worth it. It also adds like an inch to your perceived height

To be completely honest with you, TC, it sounds like shes being friendly with you. If you really want to know whether or not shes into you, spend some time with her outside of work. Thatll be your best bet. If you asked her out now and got rejected, then it may be awkward especially for her from here on.

Personally, I wouldnt go for it since the two of you work together. Its the same reason why I dont go for girls at my gym. I would rather not shit where I eat. I tried that once and we did not part on good terms. Made gym day a drag when it should be my me time.

I definitely recommend lifting weights not to get girls but for yourself primarily. Exercise is healthy and youll have more confidence in yourself. Yes, its a lot of work and effort but the end result is definitely worth it.

Yeah this. Your image of yourself is seriously skewed TC. You look like a totally normal dude. And seconding the posture thing. I had fairly bad posture as a youngun but now my good posture is something everyone commends

If she does, then you'll know for sure I guess. But judging by your posts, I don't think that'll be the case

Just don't blow up her phone asking if she's done with exams yet >_>

Maybe... I havent talked to her much this week. I usually take an empty cubicle across from hers on Fridays just to get some different scenery instead of my windowless kinda isolated office but idk if I should this week

also I dont have her number so no worries there

Make sure not to see her as like your final or only chance. Take the chance no doubt, but don't put her on a pedestal and remember that you have self-worth and challenge her to say "do I really want to date her, is she up to MY standards". Be sure that you are ok with it not working out.

These are important because girls can easily sense desperation and it makes them run.

The trick that works for me is to get it in my head that it's basically like hanging out with anyone. It helps me stop being nervous and putting that person on a pedestal.

Reframing your interactions with her as interactions with any friend or coworker may help ease your nerves. She's just a person at the end of the day.
