clubs are good, and also the whole stop caring thing seems more difficult than it really is. The heart of Buddhism is really to "stop caring" and just see life for what it is. Finding a girl will not bring you the answer, just as addictions in your past did not bring you the answer. And religion probably won't solve anything either.

BTW I am also an international business major furiously studying Japanese. If you want to do business you are going to have to be more assertive and cutthroat.

did any one suggest prostitution? or craigslist.com casual encounters section?

Oh, and if by 23 or 24 you still don't have a gf, don't worry about it. Do it at your own comfortable pace.
