I don ' t think the age matters that much . Afaik one of the reasons why the french don ' t have so much binge drinking compared to Britain for example is their cultural inclusion of alcohol . People learn how to drink alcohol , starting from their early teenage years . And that ' s much better imo , than not being allowed until you are 21 , and then you are suddenly on your own . <| sep |> I am extremely bad at moving forward in conversations at all . and picking girls that do not have a boyfrienddid not move to Massachusetts for college <| sep |> I ' m so sorry to be the first bearer of news but that Gotenks is STrash . <| sep |> Probably because of my strict parents and because of our religion . Probably because I ' m too shy or too much of a pussy to ask anyone out . I may be over exaggerating what they may react like if I ever am in a relationship , but I honestly don ' t know if I would lose their respect or would they be cool with it . I hope one day , when the time comes , they don ' t mind it or hate me for it . God help me .
