I agree. Enroll in college, even if it is just for a class or two now

(the classes can be good for you, too). College is a target-rich
environment, and at your age, you won't even be close to the "creepy old

small-talk without hitting on anyone. Girls can spot insincerity and
scheming very quickly! I think they can smell fear, too, so relax! I met
