You've gotta be happy with yourself before you can be happy with someone else. Jumping into relationships just out of fear of being alone is incredibly unhealthy.

35, single, unhappy. Females don't want a nice guy and I can't be an asshole towards females. 
Oh and I fail at tinder, not a match in almost two months. You have to tweak your profile and unlimited your display preferences. Lol, dude, do you really think that matters? The better question isn't the two months he's been on tinder , it's HOW MANY women have rejected him. If it's 12 in two months then yea maybe widen the circle. But if it's been hundreds , widening the circle will just increase the number of rejections . Ask me how I know |

I'm on an IPos so I can't highlight it, I read that last sentence all the fucking time. "It's hard to love someone if you can't love yourself " I'm not saying it's untrue, just.......misleading. Making yourself a good person, being a good person , knowing your a good person . Doing good, being honest, having character . All good qualities...... Now let's say you are that guy. You know you would be "good bf/husband material. You've built yourself a nice little life , now you say, hey, I want to share it with someone. You then spend years getting told no, ewww, and various other ways of getting shot down..... You then start reading GD dating threads and read the following..... "If you keep having bad relationships and bad women, there is one thing in common with all those different relationships........ YOU...... You then extrapolate that out to, well hell I'm being told no all the time, because there is something wrong with yourself. Run that out for a few years and let's see how much you "love yourself" Your self esteem will go into the shitter OR, like so many men in GD, your "self love " is still there , you just KNOW , you're a good person and don't deserve to be shot down hundreds of times in a row, so now you might get a bit bitter. And whoa unto to the stupid fuck who gets bitter in GD 
But wanna know a secret? Some of those bitter people who get lots of shit in GD, are the same ones who would answer "yes I love myself " A point that is lost on many. Glad you could put it in words. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GL8QXYUKatA/T3ORe07boBI/AAAAAAAAA3g/WbX4xEzYmig/s320/the-rock-clapping.gif Just don't turn out to be a woman hater for Christs sake, those guys do piss me off .

I used to work with a guy like that. Started dating his current girlfriend (they never got married, but they have two kids together and have been together ever since) when they were 15, and at the time he was just about to turn 30. He had spent literally half of his life with the same person by the time he was 30, I always thought that was pretty cool. Quote HistoryQuoted:

My best friend in school was like that, but I saw him flirt with a few other women. I think you need to play the field just a bit before you tie yourself down. Otherwise, temptation will get you at some point. |

I wouldn't say I'm terrible looking, I run and work out everyday, have a good job, and drive a nicer car. I just have no sociability, and total lack of confidence and self esteem. I lurk here pretty often and just made this account when I saw your post. I'm the same age as you and in exactly the same situation as you are. It's interesting as I was beginning to wonder if I was the only person to ever be in this situation. I suppose the odds were against it
More or less at this point I just figure I'm so far out of knowing what to do socially I'm better off just giving up. Don't think I've ever held a conversation longer than a minute or two with a girl on somehting non-work related LOL, certainly never had any physical contact outside of a handshake for work. I always feel like I suck at picking up social cues and fitting in as well. I think this is mainly because I was super focused on doing well in school and teaching myself so that I could get a decent job, which paid off but at the expense of not having much social contact at all. I also don't feel like I have any useful skills that would attract anyone. I have gotten into a bunch of hobbies outside of work such as firearms, cars, and amateur radio, but I see all these people on here who are younger than me and have rebuilt and engine or know how to machine things and I feel useless. I do keep trying to learn which at least keeps me entertained of nothing else. I tend to kind of suck at stuff though so I figure a relationship would be a complete disaster. Oh well, I'm generally happy for now. |

In terms of talking to women do this: Ask her what her interests are and what she likes to do and then take her answer and ask more questions from it (also good to share stories on how you can relate). Ask her what her life plan is, what she wants to do with her career, traveling plans, dreams, and ambitions. Ask her what her favorite movies and books are and if you are not familiar ask her to explain the story and premise. That will take at least 20 minutes to explain and then go from there. |

Didn't kiss a girl till 20 and didn't get laid till 25. I'm an Engineer and generally am not good in social situations. Find the one that's in the same things your into. It's a law of numbers. There has to be someone in your area on these dating sites that is compatible with you. Before you were limited to who you knew or happened to stumble upon. I'm definitely not one to help with your game, but I've come to realize you can't be afraid to just smile and talk to women. Even just some small talk. Online dating is awesome and is more socially acceptable than it was just a few years ago. Found my wife on Eharmony. Now with tinder you can get laid more frequently but still look for the better quality women on the pay online dating sites. |

For shits and giggles I created a "female" profile to see what competition I had(Which is a lot being relatively close to a military base) with no pic and just the usual message of "Want to know more just message me" and I understand why women give up online dating cause not 24 hours later my other email account was full of "You have a message" & "Someone viewed you". Was on another one that you could pay for back in '07/'08 after I got back from AIT and started college and was talking with one from it and ended up ejecting after a text on break from class one night saying that her boyfriend found out and she was pregnant with his kid was the only reason why she was still with him. To long of a story to post when I'm limited to 2000 characters. |

Quote HistoryThat. I'll have a gf for a few months, and then say fuck it I'm going to Nevada, or Texas, or Montana etc. Come back, bust out a bunch of work then the cycle repeats. Actually thought about hanging it up earlier this year, had a really cool chick. Decided against it though, I'm not the type to get married.

Single for all but 6 months of my life. It fucking sucks 87% of the time. I've worked 2nd/3rd shift since HS, so it's hard to meet new people....coupled with the fact that I am anti-social and am not good with words...and I'm fucking ugly
Like someone else said...dating is like having a second job. I'd rather put the effort into my hobbies. In the past 4 years, I have watched all of my close friends get married and have kids. The worst part is....I realized a few years ago that I want a kid of my own pretty bad. It's also nearly impossible to buy a decent house on one income... |

ive been separated for the last year. divorce paperwork was filed in november. needless to say, i feel i am damaged goods at this point. this makes 2 divorces in 16 years. im pretty sure i am done with marriage.
i miss a lot of the little things that go along with a long term relationship. the way you develop a language between you. hand holding. hugs. but the idea of ever being that vulnerable again scares the hell out of me. ive stayed away from trying to get close because i really dont want to burn another persons dreams to the ground because of the screws loose in my head. im not happy. im not dying. im just trying to get through today. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My story is similar to yours. Didn't kiss a girl till 20 and didn't get laid till 25. I'm an Engineer and generally am not good in social situations. Find the one that's in the same things your into. It's a law of numbers. There has to be someone in your area on these dating sites that is compatible with you. Before you were limited to who you knew or happened to stumble upon. I'm definitely not one to help with your game, but I've come to realize you can't be afraid to just smile and talk to women. Even just some small talk. Online dating is awesome and is more socially acceptable than it was just a few years ago. Found my wife on Eharmony. Now with tinder you can get laid more frequently but still look for the better quality women on the pay online dating sites. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: I do not know how some of you guys on here do not date, yeah it sucks but it can be a ton of fun I am with a different woman every week if not more Tinder can be a ton of fun. trust me get this and you will revamp how many dates you get/ laid Here are some hints: #1 dress nice #2 get a decent hair cut #3 get good shoes #4 lose the damn extra weight #5 have a good job #6 make time, consider it a second job in order to find a good woman. there are tons of women out there #7 be picky somewhat. Have your must haves and have nots #8 age does not matter( well sort of) never date younger than 21 never older than 48 #9 always have brians over beauty I've gotten to the point where it's really pathetic to be me. I'm 25 and have never had a girlfriend and never even fucking kissed a girl. I'm close to giving up and coming to terms with being alone. My story is similar to yours.

It's been about 15 months since my ex wife and I split up. In that time period I dated someone fairly seriously (moved too fast, stupid on my part) and now I'm dating another girl but not all that seriously.
I enjoy lots of the benefits of being single. I buy the guns I want when I want to (as long as I have the money of course), I travel a good bit, overall I pretty much do whatever the hell I want to whenever the hell I want to do it. I still have plenty of female companionship because we hang out most weekends. Truely happy? I'm still up in the air. I'm not unhappy that's for sure, but I turn 30 next week and watching the majority of my friends who are married have children I do get anxious about the future. I'm in no rush to get remarried, but I don't want to end up that dude who looks around at 45 or 50 when all of my friends have teenage kids and I have nothing but a bunch of guns and a cool house. In the meantime I going to keep enjoying life, building the business that I own, and getting more involved in my hobbies (which I already have too many of). Getting my private pilots license is on my to do list this year, as is taking several offshore fishing trips in the US and abroad. I might even try to take a trip to Asia later in the year as long as business stays good and I have the extra cash for it. |
