Nah, I will give up on going after girls. I will not do anything like that until I am done with my Bachelor's degree, that too is a question of my mood, whether I am willing or not.
I don't know for sure if I am different from my immediate group, but I have very different interests and tastes than them. Well having a "significant other" is a big deal, and one has to work hard. Just like you said, find what she likes and make her happy or impress her. But I prefer not to make contact with girls.
The last line is the most truest thing that I have heard from someone in a long time. Thanks for all the tips, but I am pretty sure I won't go for a SO any time soon.
Edit: Oh and I failed the moment you wrote that girls want to talk and that one should be different. I suck, totally suck at conversations and social interactions. It is hard for me to adopt myself to the interests of others, and go along their pace to have some talk. Well whatever, it's not a problem.
