Why are YOU single?

I'm single because all my mates have buggered off so I have know one to go out with!

I have also lost all my confidence since I became a fat mess!! Need to lose my gut then I can find a Mrs Oxy..... maybe in a couple of years!

fao: Pushovers.

If you're just a pushover when it comes to girls, then just keep trying to not be and eventually you'll get used to not being one. Try and 'poke around' a bit, and you'll get the hang. If you are a pushover by nature, then you'll be a pushover at work, at home, with friends, etc., etc. You'll certainly need to grow a pair and stand up for yourself. I'm not telling you to go take a swing at your boss, but there's no harm in saying "No" once in a while.

Generally, the initial reaction to something is the correct one. Don't mull over things, just react. You'll get it wrong sometimes, you'll get it right sometimes. Big deal. If she says "no" to you, don't sit and think "is she just being a girl? Am I supposed to read between the lines?" just accept it's a no. If she was being difficult about it, she'll come back for you, or you'll be onto the next already.

The absolute worst that can happen is she will say "No." The Majority of the time it'll be "No, thanks." and rarely it'll be "eww" or some such.

The latter, believe it or not, is more favourable to you than to her. She now looks the complete bitch, so as long as you politely end the conversation (i.e. bid them farewell) and walk away, you still have control and you'll look good for it. I have honestly had several girls (all on separate occasions) approach me after I have been turned down by others, simply because I was polite about it.

Be cheeky, be cocky, poke fun at them once in a while, make them laugh. Don't start a comedy routine, just silly quips every now and then. Always make eye contact when talking. If she is not doing this, then bid farewell and move on.

Those chaps you see who can walk into a place, and can approach any girl they like and (at least) strike up a conversation are only doing so because they've failed a millions times before and have gotten used to it.

Just remember: You will get turned down. So does everyone else.
 
Like obviously allot of here are geeks, nothing wrong with that at all...

Whilst a lot of us come on here, post and know a thing or two about computers, I'd say the vast majority aren't really all that geeky. Certainly wouldn't class myself as a geek. :)

Update: I'm back firmly in the single boat. Glad to be back :D

What about that FIIIINNNEEE pasty?!
 
Because she's out of a long and fairly bad relationship, still getting over it according to friends, and I don't want to mess up the friendship we've built over the past month and a bit yet. I'll ask her eventually, or see what happens, basically.

Enjoying seeing her once or twice a week, at least one of the times just on her own, chatting a lot, yanno... just being friends haha.
 
I am single as that is how it is at the moment, but something mayeb hopefully is on the cards. Time will tell. Doesn't really get me down, Meet quite a few women here and there. But I am very picky, all my friends say that. But hay, why not. I want to be happy.

I hope I will find it one day, mayeb the one is out there, who knows.
 
Why am i single? Well shyness and embarrasment really. Ive been overweight since my late teens. Ive lost 11.5stone since Jan 08 and my confidence is the highest its been for years. This weekend ill be telling a friend of 2 years that im crazy about her and have been for a while. We'll see how that goes then.... :|

Make sure you don't scare her off with your intensity!
 
Nah...i wont. Ill just tell her i enjoy her company a lot and my feelings for her have grown a bit over the last few months. I visit her pretty much most weekends with a 3 hour drive each way. Im pretty sure she knows i have something for her...but im gna come out and tell her and see what she says.
