Q: Exhausted Almost Any Chance of Finding a Girlfriend
asked by: madhornet on August 9th, 2005
New User
I'm now at the point where I can't think of anything else I can do to find myself a girlfriend for the first time in my near 29 years of existence. I've tried meeting people at the football, work, while playing snooker/pool, in pubs/bars. I joined a 20-30's walking group in the hopes of meeting some girls to get over my shyness better but that didn't work either. I've even tried to think of places to go where I might be able to chat to some girls but i'm at a loss now about where to go or what to do.

The only other option I can think of is speed dating or one of the various social events that are held in london through various websites but I don't think I either have the confidence or belief that there would be much point being my failure to attract any women at all during my entire lifetime. I am obviously repellent in some way I cannot control, I don't have nasty body odour, i've been told I have a good personality and sense of humour but I guess it's all down to good looks and not being too nice/gentlemanly. In which case i've got no chance - I have no intention of changing who I am just because that's what women are attracted to. So staying single for the rest of my life it is then.

That's really strange. Are you very outgoing?

what's wrong with showing a little chivalry? It may seem silly, but opening doors and pulling out chairs for women really does tend to leave a positive impression. And positive impressions are what it's all about when first meeting a person.

Hmmmm your from england and that means you have a british accent, move to the usa and girls will be drooling over you just by your voice.

I'm sure there is a girl out there that is perfect for you, you just havent found her yet! Have you tried meeting people off of the internet I met my boyfriend off of the internet and it's amazing how much we have in common!

That is true, girls would go nuts over that accent here.
If I spelled that right.
I dont care how ungly, weird , stinky a person is even people like that find someone. So, I doubt you are any of those by the sounds of it, you are a typical nice guy, and it is always harder for nice guys.
Or, do you have that I really want a girlfriend written all over your face look? Because I know that turns off most women as well. Then they know they would have you in the plam of their hand, women dont like that either. Well good luck hope this helps, I am single, no dates either and I really dont care. I thikn when it happens, it happens, and dont look for it.
But then I have only been isngle for six months so I should probably shut up. I always get the drunks who want me to take care of them!

Please change your mind mentoladey(sp?). If you think you're not going to find a girlfriend more then likely you want. Think about knowing you will find one. Stop trying so hard to find a girlfriend,and let the girls come to you. Learn some dating tips and how to talk to girls. It's not hard i'll help you.. If a girl is in a pub alone,and you're use to the place and you know she has never been there before. Then go up to her shake her hand and say hi my name is ______,you must be new around here, can I recomend a drink that is good,what is your favorite type of beer etc etc. Right there is a gate way in to a conversation with the girl.. You can even pick up a girls email and number is 2 mins. How about a girl sitting down next to a sit at a pub or other type of place. Walk up to her shake her hand hi my name is______ is this bar stool taken,(if she say no, you can have it). Then reply back and show her you have a sence of humor with. Oh are you sure, you wheren't using it as your foot stool where you? You're not going to charge me a rental fee are you?

Just try stuff like that and see where it gets you... It not bad to be nice.
Keep on being the nice guy,and you will meet the righ girl.

My name is jennifer, bpjoe23! Oh ... Ooops! Just took me away with some of your dating tips, haha! Just kidding!

Don't give up, madhornet. There's someone very special out there for you and she's probably searching just as hard as you are! Think positive and i'm sure that she will show up when you least expect it.

Good luck!

Just be friendly and open, don't look all shy, don't try to hide, just make small talk and work on being her friend first. Being a female myself, I hate it when guys get overly nice (offering to buy everything for me tends to make me lose my temper), and I do like it if they just act like themselves around me. Just be a little funny, work on having a good amount of self-esteem, you know that stuff...

Remember, don't force yourself on her :) there's never any hurry...Oh and, yeah, move to the states. English accents are hot.
