<br />
I have a friend from high school who's 22 and he's super afraid to approach girls.  He said that he feels like a huge creep whenever he thinks about approaching them and he also said that when he sees girls he's attracted to, it often doesn't even occur to him to talk to them and the idea of dating them feels super weird.  He said that he usually just sits there and imagines what it would be like to be them.  He has said many times that he is extremely worried about being creepy and the idea of a girl finding him creepy causes him a lot of distress.  I've told him that he is creepy, but I also know a lot more things about him then some random girl on a date would know.<br />
<br />
I've set him up on dates with female friends in the past and none of them have ever worked out.  They've said that the reason for it is they just weren't interested in continuing to date him because they simply weren't interested.  He might be boring because he's too reserved and too worried about judgement if he talks about his interests.  Honestly he has a lot of interests that he shouldn't share on dates because it would make him extremely creepy but there are still plenty of other things that he could talk about<br />
<br />
It feels like he has a super block with dating because he's incredibly repressed and excessively worried that showing the slightest interest in a girl he isn't already set up with will be taken as being extremely creepy.  Staring at girls when they aren't looking is still super creepy and it's not like they don't notice.  He practically had a crisis when I told him that.]]></description>

I want to start a website that will benefit other people.  It would be really cool to create a website that makes creating and running a wiki simple stupid.  I've been volunteering on the wiki here and there are so many things about wikis that don't cross over and every wiki has its own implementation of things that users need to learn every time they use a new wiki.  It would be amazing to have a system where users can create new wikis that have standardized templates and help pages when they're created.  It's also too complicated from an administrator perspective so adding an interface that allows the wiki to be configured through the wiki itself would be a helpful addition.]]></description>

This board has been growing in popularity.  While there isn't a rule that all threads need to be a question because of the nature of the rest of the forum, it's advisable for this board that threads have a question and at a minimum they shouldn't be random statements.  Regardless of the nature of a thread, it should be more than a random statement or hot take.<br />
<br />
Threads will be locked and warnings will be issued for pointless hot takes.]]></description>

Tanya said that it costs &#36;60 per month to operate the server for the site.  There are hosting services that charge double that for an entire year.  Have you considered a less expensive option?]]></description>
