5) Don't neglect seeing a dentist.
6) Don't lunge at any woman who smiles at you in the same manner that a starving man attacks the buffet at Golden Corral.
7) Don't mention your model airplane collection, your Dungeons and Dragons figurines, or your high score in World Of Warcraft until about your tenth, thirtieth, or fiftieth date respectively.
8) Don't talk about you in the opening stages of knowing her. Talk about her.
9) Don't treat her like she's all that.
10) Don't stare at her boobs.
11) Don't mention your mother and your past girlfriends
12) Don't ask her out as if you're pleading with the banker for an extension on your loan
1. My close are generally from Kohl's and I generally wear slacks and a matching shirt.
2. I maintain a pretty strict diet with regular exercise, so I'm more healthy than most 40 year olds.
3. I own my own house.
4. Grooming: check I do care about my appearance.
5. Dentist: check, although only once per year
6. I control all my lunges, but not necessary because I never notice a woman smiling at me.
7. I don't play any video games (and I don't even joke about my love of Star Trek)
8. My communication skills are really ok, but this is not an issue because I never talk with women who are potential dating partners.
9. Again, not an issue at this time, but helpful advice when dating.
10. " "
11. " "
12. I'm really laid-back and would never beg a lady to go out with me.

I do appreciate your message.

Never married and no kids? If so, you should have plenty of opportunities to meet women.

It is simple, but simple doesn't always mean easy. People tend to forget that.

Yes, I completely agree. I have many interests and get to spend time in other countries every year, so I'm not always sulking. I do appreciate that my life is not very stressful.

Yes, never married and no kids. In your second sentence, you sound a lot like my co-workers.

From what I've seen IRL, most guys that complain about not getting girls aren't that extreme. They're usually just normal guys that either don't approach, don't make a move, get too emotional about things, or keep doing the same wrong thing over and over again.

I do appreciate your message.
From your description, you sound like a normal, functioning human being that is able to interact with other humans.

Focus on the five points that I listed and you'll be fine.

Exactly this is me. I'm always polite and clean and good hygiene. Anytime I find a girl I'm remotely interested in, she has a boyfriend. I don't like the idea of approaching a pretty woman in the grocery store. Might get slapped for being creepy?

There's no need to pine for the college girl. Instead, come up with some fun things to do with friends or by yourself, do them, and keep an eye out for women who might enjoy an invite to come with.
Thanks.
