I guess it comes down to I can't even get to the "friends" level. Not once have I been able to be friends with a guy before he starts hinting around about sex. I do have guy friends, but we're strictly friends, they have no interest in dating me and vice versa.

People meet when they join clubs or take part in some of their favorite hobbies. Skiing, biking, tennis, golf, offroading, etc. You meet people with like interests which helps to give you things in common to discuss. Its easier to ask people out when you know them a little bit and you have something in common.

A lot of what you are saying is "can't" and "never". Ever think that has something to do with it?

possibly. I'm just curious as to why the usual "games" like "let a guy chase you", "act like you don't want to meet a man", "stop looking and he'll come to you" (even though I'm not looking), "guys love b***hes", etc. don't seem to apply to me. I would just rather meet someone, have a great conversation, things in common, etc, and go out have a nice time, then continue a friendship/romance after that.
Why does it have to be so complicated? If you like someone, and they like you, just go for it, that's all I say. (no games, chasing, ignoring.....)

Yup, I totally agree. Try playing sports, or going to meetups. If anything, it's a good way to meet new friends. |

It really isn't complicated and that's what I've been trying to say to you. It seems like you are really concentrating on this issue. It's not so much a game, but really more like self-empowerment. Don't worry so much about meeting someone, that is what I think is really hurting you more than anything. If you aren't worried about it and spend time with yourself and your friends, things will eventually work out.

"Hi my name is Eric, I'm a 24 year old Gemini who enjoys long walks on the beach"

That reminds me of a saying my friends and I use when someone starts getting cranky... "Get the sand out of your vagina!"
Can I say the V word here? Oops. |
