I sucked with women growing up. I am so happy to be married and out of the game. I realize dating sucks for men. Not every guy is suave, confident, and attractive to women. That's just life.

It's a hard truth, but fact nonetheless. Though others will tell you otherwise.

True. They will find you charming and clever no matter what. My former friend was proof of this.

Dating can be a challenge for guys of course. You need to know how to take the initiative, make sure you fulfill a woman's expectations of what a gentleman is, have a decent job, have your own mode of transportation, not live with your parents, and the list goes on. It would be easier to pick and chose who would take you out but as a guy you will be the one that's picked or not to take a girl out. It's just one of those things in life you just have to go with it. It's like complaining because we have to work and it would be nicer to just lay on the beach everyday with a book and a nice cold drink on the side. But no, someone has to work to pay the bills. You can also make that challenge and process fun and feel good when you fulfill those goals.

Sorry, but someone who thinks that is horrible, plain and simple.

I met my wife when I was living at home. I just took a risk and it paid off.

As a 16 year old male, i deal with this problem alot in school. As a matter of fact, i've dealt with this my whole life. Im one of the most nicest and gentle people you could meet, but as the saying goes.....nice guys finish last. Its amazing that you have to wear certain shoes and clothes and own certain things to get the lady in the end. You pretty much have to change your whole character to get a single shot at getting a girlfriend. It seems that after so many years of rejection, you finally just give up hope on your love life. People say all this stuff about how love is great....but honestly i dont know what love is anymore. i just grew up in the wrong generation and i just have to face facts. Its this girl i have been having the urge to talk to for weeks now but im so damn scared to approach her. I cant even look a girl in the eye, no matter if i know them or not. im so confident but then again so afraid....what should i do?

Have you tried talking to the shy girls, the average girls, the geeky ones? Do you belong to any clubs, where you can talk to girls casually? That would be the way to go. At the very least, you can use that type of environment to practice talking to girls, so you get more comfortable with it.
