I have been single now for quite a while and want this to change. I have tried a few online dating sites and speed dating once. Neither are suited to me. I am quiet shy and not suited to approaching strange women in bars/pubs etc, don't have the guts to approach then women and alcohol doesn't give me any courage just makes it worse. Breaking the ice is very hard for me.
I have been on a few dates recently but nothing has come out of them. Either theres beenno chemistry there or with two of them theres isn't really a realtionship there, just ended up as **** buddies. Whenever those two ladies were in the mood they'd call me and I'd go around and we'd just have sex. But I am looking for more. I want a proper relationship/a companion not just be sex on tap for them.
What are good ways of meeting new ladies/friends, given that i can't overcome my shyness (i have tried and made a fool of myself). I want and need to increase my circle of friends. Proper friends not just people who call me when they have a problem.
Thanks in advance guys.

Not that i'm a dab hand at dishing out relationship advice but my only advice is not to stew yourself up to much about it. It will happen but sometimes you just got let things take their course. If you do then you run the risk of becoming very anxious, which will show when you do.. If you come over too anxious or nervy, then this might put others off..

Keep mixing with people with common interests. This is always a good start..
 
anytime mate. Just would like to meet a nice normal lady with no issues and preferably quite local. My last girlfriend lived in Birmingham.. driving up to see her was a chore/pain sometimes

Just holla at a nice looking girl you see walking round. I always say if you ask a girl out and she says no, you are in the same position as you was anyway if she says yes BINGO!

You're damn right it does, and they know it too...hence the generally positive response if/when you get round to it ;)

So why not casually say that to someone that catches your eye? Putting it into practise was soo much harder than writing this out. :(
 
Don’t risk it mate.
From the women in my life I have come to the conclusion:

Their crazy and irrational at the best of times…
Abusive and psychopathic at the worst of times…

Stay safe, go gay.


You all may think have a fruit loop for a girlfriend is fun and interesting, but when she has name for each part of her body, your in seriously dangerous territory.

Mine actively searches out dusty surfaces to rub her fingers along them. :/

I've never been sure what it's about, but it's pretty mental and worries me slightly.

But you can't just go upto a lady and just say "hi, whats your name........... would you like to go out on a date with me???"
