I don't get how attractive guys can be all turbovirgin like TC. Like I get if yer ugly or fat or w/e. But TC is looks fine, he has a good job. I just don't get it. Not being a complete loser is like 80% of it.


As I said before, selfconfidence. I don't have that much.

You must also realize that women get flooded with messages. Might take a while to get to yours.


It's just that before she's been pretty regular with her daily message.

I promise I won't enter "pls respond" mode until the weekend.


Don't do this. man. Have some self respect and patience. Sometimes things happen in real life, and sometimes people just never respond. A couple of weeks ago I thought I was having a good conversation with this cute girl on Grindr. We talked for like a week, but when I suggested we meet for coffee or something she disappeared completely. *shrug* Does it suck? Yep. Am I gonna degrade myself trying to get her attention? Nope. If she ghosted on me then it wasn't gonna happen either way


Yeah, but I feel I have to try at leasr once more. It happened to me the other way at the beginning of me using OKC: a girl said hello, I waited a couple days because there was stuff going on with my life then I found kind of awkward to reply.

I'll make it dignified if it happens, I promise.

why do you need a cane

I'm handicapped, my left leg is shorter than the right one. Also the muscles aren't as strong as they should be on that leg.

I thought about going into detail in my profile but finally decided against. Not that I'm particularly shy or ashamed about it.

Do women in Spain have ridiculous standards too?


Not really sure, but knowing that half of Spain's youth don't have a job it shouldn't be that hard to look good.

French women, on the other hand, I'd say they have average standards? I get bonus points for being foreigner.

With text you get situations like this where you don't know what she's thinking. On the phone you know straight up if she's interested or not for the most part


True. But thanks to texting I get to think about what to say and not have potential awkward silences, especially before knowing eachother a bit. Can't have the best of both worlds.

It's been.. <12 hours right? Not sure about the time over there. Give it a while, and definitely don't go hitting her up with a "plz respond." You put it out there, if she doesn't get back to you within a few days I'd just move on.


Yeah, of course I'll wait. She mostly answers in the mornings, but sometimes at night. It's just stress.

Ultima Dragon posted...
Find it a bit strange that you've never been on a date though. Do you just keep to yourself mostly? I was expecting a basement dwelling neckbeard but you're actually a decently attractive dude. Multilingual, good job, and your profile made you sound interesting/lively/funny. What's the deal with that?


I'm very shy. I have never been a going out a lot kind of guy, and when I did hitting on girls was the last of my priorities. I can't see myself doing it, ever.

But I told myself that I would regret it forever if I didn't try dating at least once. And found out that having the first contact with girls online is less spooky and more manageable.

TopicShould I read Mistborn or The Way of Kings first?

06/12/17 8:42:44 PM

Mistborn is very good.

The Way of Kings simply has the best worldbuilding ever in a fantasy novel. If you aren't used to the genre and to Sanderson's writing, you could get blocked on it.

So do Mistborn first. Or Elantris.

What do you look like?


https://www.okcupid.com/profile/archbaruch

The photo is pretty bad, but my phone's main camera doesn't work so I had to use a backup. I don't really have fun-dynamic-liveloving Facebook photos to use.

I've been meaning to replace it for months, but can't think about a good photo to take. Seems to be kind of working I guess.

Also I've been told that my profile is way longer than the average guy (insert innuendo here), but I don't mind being wordy.

Boom. Sent. Don't care anymore. At least until she answers in 8 hours or so.

I guess if she says yes it'll be time to obsessively search online "what to talk about on first dates" or something.

I'll keep you gentlemen updated.


Now would be a good time to chat other girls.
Not only will this distract you from waiting for the reply, it will give you a head start in case the other falls through.

I'm not saying try to get some side girls going, I'm only saying get some other prospects in.
The western dating market is very competitive to those not in the top percentile of men.
So to make up for it, get yourself out there as much as you can.


In the 6 months I've been using this app, I've only messaged girls first twice. Didn't get any replies for either.

I've been messaged first around 20 times, but other than this girl and another one a couple of weeks ago I wasn't even remotely interested in the girls (I know, beggars can't be choosers). The other girl disappeared after 4 messages.

So, even if this doesn't work out I'll just wait until I message someone else. It's not like I'm in a hurry for getting a girlfriend.

For future reference, don't ask.

Say stuff like it's already planned.

Do you wanna go and grab some coffee sometime? < Looking forward to you accompanying me for a cup coffee.


I thought about doing that. But it comes out as really pushy, which I'm totally not in real life. It's already difficult to go in the dating world by being myself to add a persona on top of it.

Dash_Harber posted...
If you don't do it, you will regret it the rest of your life. Trust me, regrets way a lot more than embarrassing moments of being turned down. Not only that, but she wouldn't be talking to you, on a dating app, for a week, if she had no interest in going on a date. Just be casual, play it cool, don't act desperate, and don't act like she owes it to you. You will be fine.


Oh, I'm doing it alright. In a few minutes. I guess.

Problem is it's now 1:30 AM over here, so the longer I wait the creepier it will look? I suppose?

plz be joking.


...I've written my name in my profile, cause I saw it in another girl's profile and found it nice. Which explains why she hasn't asked.

I didn't think about it at the beginning, and it looked kind of awkward to drop that question in the middle of the conversation. So I'll ask before we meet up.

Just statistically speaking, the odds aren't in your favor. Don't let it mean too much if you can.


Well, my main hope is the fact that she sent me the first message without me even visiting her profile. But yeah, even if I royally screw up somewhere in the way I'll get enough experience to get a couple level ups.
