What can I do to get a date?

[ilikeindo]

I am 32, and I want more dating success.

 

I am not desperate, but just looking for somebody to be with. I am not classically attractive (few people are IMO), but I am generally good natured, ambitious (I want to end up eventually as a CEO of a large organisation), am committed to my career, like to cook, like to read philosophy, and like to network computers. I'm also a big soccer fan, and follow the league of my home country (English Premier League, a Gooner).

 

But despite this, I want somebody to be close to. I am thinking of going to dance classes, and recently enquired about joining a political group in the country I'm in now. At the least these are avenues to meet people.

 

But I also have had a monumental crush on a co-worker, which as we work in the same department is probably inadvisable to pursue. but she is so sweet and cute, I often daydream about her.

 

What can I do to improve my chances?

Well, you could have lunch with her from time to time and let her start liking you. Then maybe she'll quit her job so you can marry her and live happily ever after.

so what else can I do?

bump. no other comments?

Going out with colleagues isn't impossible... probably inadvisable but not verboten. I did it for 3 years and the girl sat 2 desks down from me. Didn't end particularly well though! Anyway:

 

1. Start exercising (obviously makes you look better but makes you much happier as well)

2. Take up some activity where you will meet people. Climbing is a great one.

3. Get better clothes and a haircut, and shave off your neckbeard

4. Set up an online dating profile following these guidelines: link removed

5. Enjoy!
