A male United States age 22-25, anonymous writes:

I'm still at the age where dating does not matter. However I know that this time I can use for practice to win a girl.

I have had a handful of girlfriends but my problem is I'm still at the point where I can't show my emotions properly.

What I mean is that when I like a girl I tease her and mess around with her.

The way kindergarteners do. I don't know how to change because now very few people like me and no one trusts me.

I am in counselling for generic depression ( clinical not the 'oh I'm sad ' crap) and I will be talking about this to my therapist but I was wondering how to change.

Especially from girls.

Another thing is that I am actually a trustworthy person. But no one at school can tell

Daniel the love doctor agony auntYou've highlighted one very important point fact.... you're at an age where dating does not matter. School however is another thing. As long as you're focused on getting good grades and building friendships, you should be fine. I would like to know however how is it that no one, or that you feel that no one trust you? Your reputation, socially, should be good even now.

I like that you're going to counseling. I think that can help you mentally, psychologically, and with dealing with your emotions.

But here's what I would like you to do...tell yourself before you head out the door to go to school everyday that you're going to have a good day, you're not going to mess with or tease anyone (even though I believe naturally you'll grow out of this), you're going to treat everyone with respect, and you're going to make more friends. Say it, believe it, do it.
