ConfusedDater Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Then why pay for the sites if you are getting all of your action from the free sites? because it seems like the free dating site only gets me dates when I pay for a membership on a pay site-lol But if I just use the free site and no other pay site then I get no replies Link to comment

george237 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Instead of online dating why not apply the comunication skills you have learned with women face to face. This way you can get out of the whole online thing. Link to comment

george237 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I don't have it in me to approach a woman in public, never have You have it in you to approach a woman via email. If you get shot down in public you have the same chances of seeing her again as you do by a girl that shot you down on the internet. Start taking chances. Link to comment

ghost69 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I don't have it in me to approach a woman in public, never have i think this is why you are so shy and intimidated to talk, bring up topics, etc when you finally do get a girl from the internet out in public. you don't possess enough social skills.

hers Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I think it's a matter of not wanting to possess social skills. I find it very difficult to approach people in public. I shoudl be out at dog parks marketing my business and talking to people about my business, but I don't do it b/c just thinking about approaching these strangers makes me want to cry. But I find it no problm to go up to a table to wait on them when I have waitressed in the past, or to start talking to a server at a restaurant when I'm a customer or talking to someone at the pool table next to me who is shooting pool. You sink or you swim. You're sinking, CD. If you don't want to swim, don't. But you can't complain about it if you allow yourself to sink. Link to comment

Maybe it's not the social skills as much as he is trying to impress her and is afraid to bring up topics because he thinks she may find them stupid. Be yourself and you will find the person your looking for. Also it is easier to talk to women shen you are not putting on a front. Link to comment

Stambler Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 hahaha. Hopefully it's not in a car with the heat on. No, usually outside! Once the relationship is serious, however, the 'ol "Dutch Oven" is essential! Link to comment

george237 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Go out and get rejected it's the only way to learn. Eventualy you will happen less and less. Just be yourself and go with it. What's the worse that can happen? Link to comment

george237 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 that's what i always advocate. can't learn until you try. I think people are just afraid of being rejected. Like the girl is going to laugh in your face or tell you your a loser. Everytime you get rejected you will get one of the following responses. 1) I have a boyfriend 2) Sorry I'm not interested 3) I have to take this call 4) I am sorry I was just leaving It isn't as bad as you think it is.

Pegasus Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Go out and get rejected it's the only way to learn. Eventualy you will happen less and less. Just be yourself and go with it. What's the worse that can happen? Ok, I think I have the best story that actually happened - since I was very shy, I decided to get over it. So, I bought a book "how to overcome shyness with women" or something like that; I don't really remember how it was called but that's the idea. So, first lesson was to approach a girl you don't really like (so it should be easy) and ask her on a date. The idea was to get rejected - just to get used to it. So, I've drinked few beers to get some courage and approached a girl hanging on the corner waiting for someone. I've said "I was watching you from the bar and think to myself - this girl can drink a lot of beers! So, can I have your number to call you so we could get drunk together?" (no need to say, I thought it was a sure way not only to get rejected but also get my ass kicked since she was a pretty strong lady). The only thing she said was...."sure, I'll write it down for you" and started writing. That pissed me off so much that I pulled the book out of my pocket and teared it down in front of yelling " * * * * , I can't even get rejected when needed...". My friends watching from nearby bar almost died out of laugh. I'll never forget it. Link to comment
ConfusedDater Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 well I have a aniexty problem so if I was to approach someone I wouldn;t look to cool if I was shaking, sweating, and stuttering. And I know all three of those things would happen which is why I don;t want to talk to anyone in public. Link to comment
