Well, for the guys I dated...the majority of them I asked out, not the other way around.

The easier approach is looking on it as a possible friendship, and that you are asking the potential friend to a movie or for a coffee, or a bike ride.

I wish I would take my own advice though, because it is easier said than done.


It's pretty much the only way I can get into it though... I'm just not attracted at all to strangers...

Maybe I'm odd, but for me it is almost equally painful doing the rejecting as being rejected myself.

How many times have you been in the position to reject a girl? And was it for sex or for a relationship?

I agree, it's no easier to break someone elses heart but she was way more into me than vice versa. I felt like a rotten S.O.B. even though I made the right choice. Of, course next time around, I was the one to be dumped (last week). Either way it sucks.

I know it sounds very negative and it is. Only cos this is really bothering me.

I am really very worried that I'll never find a girlfriend. I've signed up on a dating site "Plenty of Fish", I look at all those profiles and think I have no chance. I get vey depressed over this.

In my school days all the girls hated me, I never had a chance back then to make girlfriends. Now that I'm trying to find a girlfriend, those school memories are affecting my confidence with finding a girl.

Please help folks, this is really depressing me big time.

Give it time. It's like a job. If you keep looking, you'll land one. But if you just complain about the state of the economy and watch TV at home w/o sending out a resume... you're just going to get more bitter.

Not much luck on that dating site, had more bites on eharmony personally. I'd sign up for it, at least temporarily (if you can afford it). It'll allow you to strike up a LOT of conversations using pre-canned messages.

Yes, HS (or our other early interactions) can impact how we view the world. However, just realize it's just a phase in you life, and HS does not represent life. Many people move and/or disown their family/friends in order to start over :)

You can ALWAYS start over and be the type of person you want to be. Once you're happy with that, meeting people isn't really a problem.

And for most people, the act of meeting people is the majority of the problem.

I've rejected girls' advances simply because I'm afraid of what they'll think when I don't know how to receive them. Sometimes I find myself avoiding the very things I'm trying to achieve because I'm too anxious to see them through.

That goes for a lot of things in life... not just girls.

heh, you can be like me, looking like a damn wookie with a temper to match, so yeah. You have a chance, everyones got a chance. Hell, I regret A LARGE AMOUNT of stuff I didnt do in highschool. When you had a large amount of trouble even telling if a woman was flirting or even slightly interested in you back then, yeah... I eventually figured things out, that I igrnored so many advances, especially one obvious one (the woman I had a HUGE crush on kept dropping huge hints that she wanted to go to senior prom with me. It got to the point she asked me herself. I however could not bear going because I felt ashamed that I had no transportation and no money, and I ended up not going. Lets just say after that she wouldnt even look at me or talk to me. Maybe in a way I am lucky, since a few years later, she kinda became a huge alcoholic, and still single, and always b*****s about that she never tried hard enough to be with 'someone' from her past. and yeah, the most I ever hear about from her since highschool is If she gets on MSN messenger.)

so yeah. I guess my problem is im socially "blind". So my advice to some of yas, pay attention not just to 'gestures and stuff', but how they talk and tend to be around ya.

As for someones post on cutting your hair, depends on age really, and depends on the woman that sees it. Some can go for a more "casually messy" appearance, some will only look at ya if you have a f*****g military style haircut. However one thing is a given, shower daily.
