ParticipantI’m 21 years old, and for the past 3 years I’ve been hanging out at a college that is in my hometown. I never went to college and I started going there to feel like I have a normal life. While I’m there I’m looking for a date. All the girls that I talked to all have boyfriends and there’s not one girl that ever talked to me. I don’t wan’t to be too agressive or desperate, but nothing is flowing naturally. Lightning won’t strike. I don’t know what to do. I know I’m the best guy out there and I have a lot to offer, but I can’t get an oppertunity. What can I do to increase my chances of getting a date? September 10, 2012 at 3:13 pm #25095April Masini
KeymasterLook for social opportunities on campus, like parties, volunteer events, clubs and special programs. The more you get involved in the things you’re naturally interested in, the more likely you’ll meet single women with similar interests. Having these mutual interests will make conversation — and dates — flow more easily. Obviously, coffee shops are great places to scope out and chat up women, but you can also try yoga classes and other exercise venues where women are more likely to be. If there’s a track and you’re a runner, you’re more likely to meet female runners who run alone — easier to talk to then when they’re in a group. Laundry facilities where women who live off campus are doing their laundry are great places to meet college coeds because they’re trapped for the entire rinse and dry cycle! 😆 And women are more likely to eat lunch alone, than dinner, so seek out lunch places on campus where salads are served — women usually look for healthier, more diet-like fare.[b]Everyone likes to be liked!

ParticipantIf a girl smiles at you, does that mean you can go ahead and talk to her, does it mean she likes you, or is she just being friendly and courteous? September 12, 2012 at 5:16 pm #25276April Masini
KeymasterIt means she’s open to talking to you — and maybe she already does like you. Either way, it’s an invitation — but not an insurance policy. 😉 September 13, 2012 at 10:06 am #23665sfmcarbaugh
ParticipantHow do you ask out a girl you don’t know? Every girl I know has a boyfriend or turned me down. So I have to ask out some random girl. I’m straight forward and I just ask them out on a date. Is that to aggressive or does it depend on the girl? How do girls feel when some guy they’ve never met randomly appears and shows interest in her? What is the best way to do this?

KeymasterThere are lots of ways to ask a girl out on a date. You’ve referred to asking random girls out, and if you’re going to do that, all you do is ask them. There’s no magic. But my advice is to get to know them first. A smile, some small talk, a conversation or two — and then decide if this is someone you want to date. I think you should read a book I wrote for men called Date Out of Your League. You can buy it here:
. It’s got a LOT of information about dating in it — more than I can give you right here.

Participantare there girls that like quiet men? I wouldn’t say I’m shy or have a lack of confidence but I’m quiet. I don’t know what to say or talk about. I was never any good at socializing. Will this hurt me when being in a relationship? Will I get better when I’m in a relationship? Are there girls that like quiet men or will I struggle to find a date?

Keymaster[quote]are there girls that like quiet men?[/quote] Yes!
🙂 [quote]I wouldn’t say I’m shy or have a lack of confidence but I’m quiet. I don’t know what to say or talk about. I was never any good at socializing. Will this hurt me when being in a relationship?[/quote] Being quiet is different than not knowing what to say or being inept at socializing. The latter is something you can work on. There are many men who are quiet and are still socially graceful.
😉 Lacking social skills will definitely be a drawback in a relationship. My advice is that you work on gaining social skills.I recommended that you read Date Out of Your League, and I’m going to recommend you read it again. It will help you in this arena. Here’s the link where you can get it:
. Buy it today! And read it tonight.[url]http://www.askapril.com/relationship-dating-advice/date-out-of-your-league.html [/url] 🙂 [quote]Will I get better when I’m in a relationship?[/quote] You won’t get better at social skills because you’re in a relationship — you’ll get better at your social skills because you’ll be more aware and work at getting better at them.
😉 There’s no magic wand — you have to do the work.[quote]Are there girls that like quiet men or will I struggle to find a date?[/quote] There are girls that like quiet men. I’m not sure what you consider a struggle — if you’re not going to work on your social skills, then, yes, you’ll probably have a harder time than if you do work on them.

ParticipantShould you look for a date or wait? When I have free time I like to go out where there’s woman my age. I’m trying to put myself in a position for an oppurtunity to meet someone. Cause I know that a girl won’t appear if I just hang out at the house all the time. Some people say you should wait and not look for a date cause love always comes when your not looking for it. Or every woman you meet will be a defect and you should let her fall into your lap. I disagree with that logic and you should put forth the effert (with out looking deperate off course). This topic goes either way with peoples beliefs. So as a relationship expert what are your thoughts on this topic? Agree with looking, waiting, or both?

ParticipantI understand that but I would still like a professinal opinion on this topic. September 18, 2012 at 11:14 am #25112April Masini
KeymasterWhich is exactly why I”m recommending you read Date Out of Your League. I wrote it! You’ll get a lot more information there than I can give you here. I’m happy to answer specific questions here, but you’re asking a lot of questions about getting started dating — all of which will be answered in the book. Buy it (it’s only $8.95) and spend the time reading it. It’s an investment in YOU and it’s a nice way to support this free advice site. If you still have questions after reading the book that are not covered in the book, I’d be very happy to answer them here for you.

ParticipantI like 3 girls, I don’t know what to do. I go to a college where I like 2 girls. I work at another college where I like another girl. I like all 3 equally and I think about them equally. I can’t decide which one I should make a move on or which one I feel stronger for. The college that I go to is a community college so their from the area and would be easier to date without long distance. The college that I work at is a four year university where she might be from further away and during breaks we might be apart for a while. But, since I’m technically not allowed to date any of the students (which won’t stop me) it would be so fun having a secret relationship. At least these girls do know of my existence. The point is I really like these 3 girls and I have no idea how to approach this. What should I do about this?
