I'm going to have to say no for this. Of the five guys I ever wanted to date in my life, I've successfully dated four of them - the fifth is unbelievably stubborn so he probably won't no matter what. Over most of my life, since about age 7, I've found a fair number of guys who I didn't have much interest in but they were more than eager to got out with me. So in short, no, I've almost never had trouble finding a boyfriend when I wanted one.

Yeah.

I'm sweet being single though. You either get the dicks coming onto you in a gross way, or you just get given a wide berth. I'm never approched by anyone nice, really.

I hope I don't look unfriendly.

Then again, I'm awfully picky and wouldn't date 90% of people anyway.

I don't know. I've only had two girlfriends.

The first teased me alot(Pulling my hair, hitting me, etc), which an older woman said meant she liked me. I thought she had gorgeous hair and liked her, except when she was teasing me, so asked her to be my girlfriend, which she accepted. I was 9, she was 10. Puppy love and all that. We never kissed on lips or went on a date, just held hands and talked to each other during recess and lunch. A few months later and she was leaving with her parents back to the states, never to be heard from again.

The second one I initiated the relationship, and it worked. I was 16, she was 15. We dated, claimed to love each other, the whole ten yards, I even proposed. About seven months into it I moved to the neighboring county with my mother, we tried it long distance but her parents and my dad didn't approve and she started playing games and found someone else that wasn't so far away.

Other than them I've never asked anyone out or been on dates. So I guess my success rate is 100, but I doubt it would be if I tried getting in the game now. My social skills have dropped, I'm nearly bald, and I've put on nearly 100 pounds. Have I mentioned I have low self esteem? And socially I have very little confidence.

Anyways, I'm not looking, so have no plans to attempt asking anyone out.

Dating is hard for everyone, even neurotypicals. But you can make a strong argument it's easier for women because by the nature of things men are supposed to take the initiative. A lot of men end up with love-shyness.

Oh yes....dating is a complete nightmare for me. My mom used to keep this box of things she was going to give me for my wedding; she told me the other day that she finally gave up when I turned 28, with no prospective husband in the works.

What's worse for me is when I do date, I tend to draw very abusive partners. I don't realize it at the time, but generally the guy is a total creep. I'm totally naive when it comes to judging someone's character correctly.

I think I'm a fairly attractive person, so I've had a lot of first dates, but they never amount to anything. Every time I go out with someone for the first time I have high hopes, but usually mid date I'm ready to go home and be with my dog.

Never been on an date in my entire life, Im 19. People have told me before that I am very pretty but due to my shyness and my lack of social skills in general I cant get a date. Though I have particularly strived to get one. But closest friend is a guy but it'd be better if we werent dating. Dating would screw the friendship up.
