I have been asked by a woman only once. It's tough being a guy who has to go "hunting."

Most of my friends are ladies. I guess it's because I am very loyal and a good listener. My female friends would talk about other men in front of me, share a little about their relationship or sex life, and engage in girl conversations with me there.

Maybe that's why I am not good at picking up hints from ladies I do not know that they are interested in me. Could someone give me examples that are most common?

Well you don't want to stay single you're whole life do you. If you're having trouble try match.com or another dating site. The Internet is so helpful for MANY things nowadays.

You're cute when you blush.

Aw shucks you're cute when you don't blush.

Tried online dating and found it to be a waste of money and effort. Thanks for the advice though.

Newbie, it is not so much about writing a clever profile. It is about putting down the remote, getting up off your lard butt and going out and doing something interesting.

A man who is taking flying lessons is more interesting than a guy who scores 2000 on Space Alien Invaders.

A man who volunteers at the food bank is more interesting than a man who watches The Real Housewives of Omaha and knows whats for sale on the infomercials.

A man who is on a local pick up Basketball team is more interesting than a man who sleeps until noon and eats cheese puffs for dinner.

If you are asked "What did you do today?" and your answer is "nothing", you might want to work on that.

Is it really that bad out there, in OLD-land? lol! He said it was about not following the usual profile formula, and being creative. I thought some people here could use some pointers. He said he was rolling in female attention.

but, whatever.

I don't ask Men out or speak to them first. It would then be expected I would be assertive in general throughout all aspects of a relationship and that would drive me insane. You smile, make eye contact and give someone ample opportunity to make the second move, the first being "the message". What I need is someone brilliant, really smart, and successful enough to have few dollars and have made decent choices. Apparently that was an impossibility after college, where I should have married one of the many guys who were insane about me.

I was never one of those women who settled for anything just to have a body in the bed, a free lunch, or anything else. Without a real connection I'd rather not have any relationships, so I'm basically a recluse. I'm convinced most Men want the most physically attractive, whatever that is to them, female they can afford to maintain. It's about fulfilling an agenda in their lives, they aren't looking for love or "spiritual" fulfillment, they want lots of action and beer.

90% of all Men and Women want something or someone outside their range. I'm probably no different. There is one thing in life I couldn't compromise, sleeping with someone just to get needs met. I'd rather be abstinent and have been for many years now. I'm a good example of someone who has decent looks and is fit, but is a train wreck on the inside. 55 and no kids if anyone is interested.
