OK, I"m game. What have you done to try to meet someone you click with? That's not easy, you know, finding that person. What's your strategy, where do you hang out?
NO, not a logical conclusion! Me and my sistahs can attest that just because you don't get approached doesn't mean there isn't someone for you out there, somewhere. You just have to find him/her. And the chances are good that there's more than just one, at least for the short term. Like I said before, it takes time, patience, and that crucial ingredient--optimism! It takes perseverance.
Some of us just would rather not have to go through tons of rejections just to finally get a number and maybe a first date
This is going to sound offensive - but honestly, I just find that pathetic. You have one life to live. It's pathetic to not even try to find love if that's what you want out of life - and most people want love. It's the greatest thing there is - and it's worth everything. So you shed a few tears. So you feel bad for awhile. The reward far outweighs the price - if you are willing to put yourself out there.

I will never understand this mentality. It is like the only dating scenario they can imagine is walking up to a stranger and asking for a number.
And when that stranger declines for reasons you will likely never know, because---hello, it is a stranger with a unique and complex set of needs, desires and circumstances that you, as a stranger, are not privy to---that is some sort of brutal, personal rejection that steals a piece of your soul.
Did dad never teach you anything about getting to know women?

OK. I'm beginning to think women are more programmed for love than men. This is the inescapable conclusion from reading this thread. Men's much-vaunted sex drive is not serving them if this is where some of them are at. I hear you, don't get me wrong, it's not easy. It must be a difference in outlook. Optimism and perseverance are indispensible.
Yes, and I wouldn't buy her line about wanting to be single. Having been there, along with my gf's, I know that women who truly want to be single are extremely rare.
(god this is a weird thread!)
Maybe it is a small percentage of women then. I know it's not all women. The ones I've met claimed they wanted to be single and not be distracted by a guy.

Is this the problem? They're only doing cold approaches? That can work, but you have to have a multi-faceted approach. You have to work all the angles you can. Getting involved in activities with members of the opposite sex is an essential part of that. Especially for us plain, average folks.

I can only suspect that there's more to the story. Were these women you hoped to date? If so, they were letting you down easy. Were they women you were friends with, and you just happened to ask them why they were always single? Maybe they were putting up a brave front. Women need that companionship, those cuddles, and all that good stuff. It's impossible to admit to others that some of us get overlooked. (Except online, haha, where we're anonymous!)
I'm just sensitive to rejection especially since I've never gotten a yes..If I had success before then I probably would take rejection a little less personally becAuse I'd know they'res women out there attracted to me
