I think at this point my suggestion is he switch teams. Maybe he'll have better luck with dudes.

Say what now? I love my friend's girlfriends, my female friends, my friend's wives and my friend's female relatives. Not to mention my 2 sisters

The best kinda girls I like are either the nerdy type or the very athletic type. I used to have a friend who was my best bro's cousin. She was into working out, sports, videogames, etc... it was awesome. We could hang out, work out, watch action movies, go in the batting cages, etc...

His mom already thinks he's gay and is cool with it so he is halfway there already.

Stop the nonsense
Lol!!!!!!

Women are always throwing themselves at my younger brother and have since he was in high school.
He IS charismatic, though. I am not, but he is the life of the party type.

Sorry you have never seen this, but it is likely the same reason you are having trouble now.
*shrug*

I hope you're being facetious. It's awfully insulting to gay people to imply that a straight person can "switch sides"

I sent messages tailored to their profile that were not creepy or sexual at all

I got 0 replies from the 50 I sent





I will not stand for the nonsense

I have received some good info in the cold approach thread and the meet up thread. Those are 2 areas I want to try more so we will see if anything comes out of it
Dude! You are angry, feeling a little desperate, lonely, and frustrated. I'm sorry you find yourself in such a state. My point, as many others shared on here. Until you can embrace yourself, you are wasting your time! If you wrote 50 messages and got zero responses then your choice of words have sold you out as either insincere, desperate, needy, or a combination of all. Which my friend, you are!

Dunno. All I know is that I have never been approached by a woman in a restaurant or anywhere else while sitting alone.

It probably depends on what you're doing. If you're sitting at the bar making casual chat with the bartender and other patrons you're more likely to be approached than if you're sitting in a corner with your nose in your laptop/phone/book.

While I'm not great at casual chat, I'm talkative once I have someone to talk to. But if I'm by myself nobody's going to reach out or approach.

I honestly don't know what to do. I cannot seem to force myself to do the dreaded cold approach as all I imagine is going up to the girl and getting a nasty rejection (talking to a couple girls at a bar and hearing that "we are just here to have fun with our friends, please go away").


Is there any guy out there who has ever met his girlfriend someway outside of the old "friends/school/work" option that everybody seems to meet their partner? Do girls ever actually go out to meet a guy? It seems like 50% of girls go out in the night scene (lounges/bars/etc...) with their boyfriends and the other 50% go out to hang out with their lady friends all night


I don't think there's anything wrong with me. I can keep a conversation with most people fine. I'm friendly and respectful. All the female acquaintances I have in my real life (a few female co workers, a couple friends, friend's girlfriends) all like me quite a bit. I don't know why I find dating to be so difficult
I sympathize.

Other than being in the right place at the right time, I don't know what else to say. Just make sure you are working on becoming the best you that you could be.

I myself may have met my girlfriend at the library.
