I've never kissed a girl or anything like that and it's kind of getting to me. I'm feeling bitter about life and really questioning whether or not I should continue on with my life but I am sure that there are others like me ? if you are in the same situation as me what keeps you going ?

Yeah man, you need some counseling. Going on a date/kissing a woman will not help your depression, nor magically make life grand.

Dates just don't happen. If you have not been dating and find it a monumental task to approach women, be comfortable around them, and have a chance at dating, then you really need to seek some professional help to work out the roadblocks in your life which are holding you back.

I personally went many years without much in terms of dating, or any success at it. Mostly I suffered from severe social anxiety in terms of trying to develop romantic relationships.

I overcame all that and am happily married now. So it is not a life sentance, nor anything to become depressed or suicidal over. The thing is, instead of letting it cause you to suffer depression, you need qualified help to allow you to work through the impediments, and overcome the obstacles.

I'm a year younger than you and I'm a woman.

I'm not bitter about it though.

You shouldn't be either.

If you ask 100 women out on a date, I can pretty much guarantee that at least 1 of them will say yes. Try this: approach 100 random strangers. Suggested locations: bars, convenience stores, malls, clubs, gyms. Say to them: "hi, you're really hot. Want to go out on a date?"


If you are average looking, probably 5-10 will say yes. Even if you are well below average, you will get a couple of women that will say yes.

In my experience, the cold call approach doesn't work with women. I'd think it'd only really work if the guy is in the very good looking category. The reason is you're a complete stranger. This is partly why I think online dating is so difficult to be successful with.

So the key is getting meeting people casually to develop relationships over time and when the opportunity arises ask them out when you have developed their trust. By far a better approach.

You can get a date the first time you meet someone. I think it is best to engage in a bit of banter before asking for the actual date. If you make her laugh a few times; you're good to go... usually.

Unless you are extremely handsome, hitting on random women you meet is going to have an extremely high rejection rate. Most people date others that they have known for a bit or have met before
