Well I guess it was well before 2020, but that's because I've been with my fiance for several years.

When I was dating, it blew me away how many girls I knew that had never been taken on a proper dinner date before. I thought it would be so obvious and routine, but it seems like a lot of young girls these days don't go through the traditional type of dates. Mine certainly appreciated it.

We still make an effort to go on a dinner date at least every other week.

Dont say that. There are billions of people in the world. There is someone for you.

What do you figure is the biggest thing holding you back?

I'm a well below average looking guy with no personality outside of nerd shit and nothing of value to anyone...

Anyone I've asked out has turned me down and I get no matches on dating sites/apps... Easier to just give up at this point...

I'm not the one you asked, but I want to answer too because I feel similar.

The fact that I don't really have much to offer, and that I'm terrible with taking a step towards someone.

I have no problems talking to customers, or some people during online games, be they guys or girls, but I'm beyond terrible when it's about getting closer to someone.

I have a beyond terribly hard time reading others, and I'm always afraid that I harass or annoy them or even worse just by getting to close.

I don't want to be talked to by some random weirdo myself, so why should it be different if it's me?

When the scenario is "hit on a girl in a bar" or anywhere else, what is supposed to make me better than the others?

I can't imagine a scenario where someone wants to be hit on, at least not by me.

Everyone wants to be hit on. Thats how most romantic fantasies begin.

Someone spots a beautiful stranger in a bookstore, and approaches to ask what they are reading. Two people cross eyes briefly while sitting across from each other on a crowded subway, and one compliments the other on their t-shirt. Two people in line at Starbucks strike up a random conversation about how the barista can never pronounce their namesits all really just common mundane stuff that turns into dream making opportunities

Knowing that both men & women are actually receptive to flirting, and sporadic conversations with strangersthe real question is why do you think that they wont be receptive when you do it?

Because they never did.

Neither during my times I hit the clubs with my friends, nor during dating apps.

Most of the time a simple "Hi" was already enough to show pure refusal, and the few encounters and matches on dating apps were full of ghosting after a few sentences that didn't went deeper than "Hi, how are you?" and trying to meet up.

This is literally the only thing holding you back. Learn to accept yourself and the value you provide the Earth (you do have value, man) and getting dates will be easier. Girls hate guys that have no confidence and the funny thing is that confidence can be backed by literally nothing and it will still make you more appealing than guys without confidence.

You are not well below average, but you have bad grooming. You can fix that.

Grooming and good clothes can definitely at least get your foot in the door. Hitting the gym also helps and trust me, most people won't judge you and don't give a shit about you there and are just there to improve themselves. And if someone cares it's most likely in a good way in that they'll come and give you tips on form and shit

That said I've been on quite a few dates this year. But I went on 2 dates this weekend with the same girl and she's amazing! She's trying to fix how little anime I've seen by offering to binge some with me >_>

https://streamable.com/8hm32d

The above video is parody but it represents a very real problem that lonely, introverted, internet denizens have when finally taking a chance on themselves, and going out into the real world for an actual physical datethey simply dont act normal.

Look, it might seem like Im being cruelbut I legit am happy for anyone that makes an attempt to get out into the real world and make it happen its just that I need to drive home the point that the number one thing to keep in mind is act normal

With great emphasis on the word act because you dont just suddenly adapt to society, and soak all of the mainstream social taboos just by strolling out into the sunlight.

Ive observed so many disaster stories from CEmen claiming that theyve given it a shot, and it turned out so terrible that its given them something akin to PTSD, and now will no longer try. They use it as sb excuse to just give up.

The thing is that CEmen have somehow got it stuck in their heads that they need to be themselves and that their date should like them for who they are and although thats ultimately true if long term relationships (with compromise) its not the case for first impressions.

You dont go talking about your mental disorders (especially if self diagnosed), your virginity, or weird nerd hobbies. You just try and behave like a normal human being. What does that actually mean, well that varies from person to person depending upon where your personality and social awareness currently stands, but in a nutshell, your goal is simply to get a second date. Nothing more. Nothing less.

So knowing shes going to probably go tell her friends about your date, dont say or do anything thats going to cause their friends to cringe and bring up red flags. If its not something youd bring up to a complete stranger while in line at the DMV to renew your license, then dont say it in your first date!

Dont give up. Just use common sense. Be normal. Thats the key. ACT NORMAL

A little under a year ago

Got tired of getting played by girls in the DC area who don't know what they want, or getting messages like "I like your profile but I don't like cat hair" which makes me wonder why they even bothered saying that in the first place as if I was gonna give up my cat for a rando

Best example of getting played was one girl sending the like and message first, and then 3 dates later she says that after some thought she realized she wanted to date someone of her race. How do you not know this by the time you're 28.

I dont think it is. I think a lot of folks try so hard to be outgoing and interesting that they end up coming off weird.

Being interesting is important. But not at the sake of normal. Honestly, someone could go to a date and barely talk so long as they ask questions, their date is talkative, and they listen. Thats almost like a cheat code for people who struggle with charisma and extroversion

Hes talking about the Sex & Adulting boards. I wouldnt call it mocking. My goal is to help.

The CEmen call themselves losers, and although that might be true depending on the eyes of the beholder, Ill die on the hill that nobody is predestined to live a lonely existence, and everybodys circumstances can change with the right motivation, and guidance.

I think that these types of self-help topics are productive. I enjoy giving the advice. But to each their own.
