We are extremely close to shutting down this thread for the same reasons the PUA thread was shut down. While some of the time this thread contains actual discussion with people asking help and people giving nice advice, it often gets derailed by rubbish that should not be here. The moderation team will be trying to steer this thread in a different direction from now on. Posts of the following nature are banned: 1) ANYTHING regarding PUA. If your post contains the words 'alpha' or 'beta' or anything of that sort please don't hit post. 2) Stupid brags. You can tell us about your nice success stories with someone, but posts such as 'lol 50 Tinder matches' are a no-no. 3) Any misogynistic bullshit, including discussion about rape culture. 4) One night stands and random sex. These are basically brags that invariably devolve into gender role discussions and misogynistic comments. Last chance, guys. This thread is for dating advice and sharing dating stories. While gender roles, sociocultural norms, and our biological imperative to reproduce are all tangentially related, these subjects are not the main purpose of the thread. Please AVOID these discussions. If you want to discuss them at length, go to PMs or start a blog. If you disagree with someone's ideologies, state that you disagree with them and why they won't work from a dating standpoint and move on. We will not tolerate any lengthy derailments that aren't directly about dating. | ||

It's been an on-and-off experience if I'm honest. I've been on some good dates, some bad dates and some that were just "meh". I haven't been in a committed relationship for about 2-3 years now. Still surviving and looking for another potential partner. EDIT: Just for clarification, I've had 2 serious girlfriends, not a virgin. I would have to agree that the general consensus of being confident is a true one. Don't be an asshole (for no reason) but know what you want out of your own life, show that you're committed to getting there and don't compromise. Having a sense of humor also helps. | ||

Also, I'd definitely agree that being funny helps. I'm the "funny guy" in my group of friends, and I've actually had girls tell me they're attracted to me because I'm funny, so yeah... it helps. EDIT: I just realized that I am captain redundant of my own post. This is what I get for TLing at 2am on no sleep @_@ | ||

It just felt awkward and I never made a real connection with anyone I met on one of those websites. I realized that most of the women on there are single for a reason... Either they're unattractive, bitchy as hell, or have ridiculously high standards (or any combination of the three). Not to mention that it's hard to come across as confident online... It just never worked for me. Also, I'd definitely agree that being funny helps.

I think that's highly dependent on what sort of people you meet or choose to contact. Personally, I think that the biggest flaw that most people on dating sites have is that they say that they have a certain set of personality traits or interests or that they are a certain way and then they end up . . . not being like that at all. People either don't know themselves all that well (warning flag) or they're lying to try to fish for a certain type of boyfriend/girlfriend (bigger warning flag). I would have to say it works like that for both genders though males and females lie about different things. That makes it really hard sometimes to know if you're contacting a person who shares your interests or passions. | ||

That makes it really hard sometimes to know if you're contacting a person who shares your interests or passions. I wasn't that picky with who I decided to contact. Most times I wouldn't even get a reply. I don't mean to sound conceited, but I'm not an unattractive guy, and I'm also not unintelligent. My success rate is pretty high when I meet someone in person, so I'm not shy or unconfident either. Maybe it doesn't translate well to the internet, but still. Let's be real here... It's not that hard for a girl to find a boyfriend if she really wants to, so most of the women on those dating sites are doing something wrong. | ||

I think the problem is the fact that I was just talking to her cause she's mildly hot... I have no feelings whatsoever right now, so the fact that she likes me already just puts me off. I've had a few girlfriends and none of them have ever fallen for me THAT fast. Maybe I'm the one being weird, should that NOT put me off? Also if this helps for perspective on the situation: I'm 17. Well falling for someone too fast is a bit of a 'low value move'. However, don't let this decide things. Look objectively at what you like about her and her potential as a girlfriend. Unless shes some kind of "christian no sex before marriage you're my soulmate" girl don't worry. At the very least you can date her and see how things go. If anything I think you are overreacting to this, there is no reason why you can't date her for a while and move on if shes too needy or whatever, no need to marry her mate. just my 2c, goodluck. | ||
