No, they really rejected me. And we went on more than a few dates. This WASN'T a cold approach and they said no immediately scenario.

What did you talk about on the dates? And how did you feel about them? Were you feeling a connection with all 5?

At least you dated 5 women recently. That's a lot more interested women than I've had in a very long time.

Just keep meeting women.

Okay, next try asking some people who know you in real life what THEY see about how you carry and conduct yourself that might possibly be turning ladies off.

We willing to take their constructive criticism if they offer any.

And also, realize that this is just what happens when dating...

People either have an attraction to one another or they don't. When they don't they need to just keep looking. It doesn't have to be anybody's fault.

Right. A lot of weeding and sifting happens during dating. That's what it's for. Still wondering how the OP felt about each of those 5 women. In theory, he should be weeding and sifting, too, and so he shouldn't be particularly concerned, because the chances that he felt like he hit it off with all 5 would be nil.

Well, I feel as if it it's just steady bad luck and why would I have any better luck with the next five?

You're looking at it wrong. And you haven't told us how you felt about each of them, and how well things were (or weren't) clicking.

It's not bad luck. Experts say you have to go through about 100 people before you find someone you feel a good connection with. You've barely begun. 95 left to go! Better get cracking!

Actually you've done well. You had multiple dates with each. That's a LOT farther than some of the other guys here get.

A woman either likes you or she doesn't. You can't force anything if it's not there.
