Hopefully this is in the right place/apologies for another topic of a similar nature to one that crops up a lot.

 

Just basically I'm losing hope a little here. I don't feel like I need a relationship or it's something I deserve but I'd definitely like one. I've never really had a proper relationship and I'm 23 (I know you'll all say there's plenty of time). The longest I've dated anyone was for 6-7 months and then it just fizzled out as they didn't want to commit and I did so I called it a day.

 

I am completely happy with myself and my life but feel like I am missing that one thing. I know this will sound arrogant and I really don't mean it in that way but I do love myself (in a non selfish way) and am totally content with no insecurities. I go to the gym 5 days a week, quite tall 6"2 with a good build. Ride/race mountain bikes regularly. I DJ. Play guitar. Highly in to fashion and always look and smell great. Basically I like to beleive I have a great and active/social life. I'm enjoying myself a lot.

 

I'm a pretty big music fan too and through my job I'm lucky enough to get free gig tickets to pretty much any show/music festival I like. My friends music tastes suck and I'd love to be able to take a girl but I can't meet anyone ever so always go on my own. I have friends but I feel so alone sometimes. I see all these couples enjoying themselves. Hell I even see couples walking hand in hand down the street not even talking to each other looking absolutely miserable. I'm super fun to be around and I can't get a girlfriend yet they can :(

 

I'm confident and beleive to be good looking (had a few girls tell me it too). On Plenty Of Fish (a dating site for those that don't know) I typically have an 80% reply rate and have met around 30 or so women off there. But what I've found is the girls on there do not want to settle down. They have a never ending supply of guys to chose from so they continue to date and date and date. I'll often catch girls checking me out in the street too but I know for a fact (and I have appraoched some before) that they'll freak out and look at me in disgust that I dared to speak to them. Like they are somehow better than me. I can deal with rejection fine, you only have to be on a dating site and meet up with women on there to learn that.

 

So far in my life the only girls I have ever dated have all been met on Plenty Of Fish. I wonder if I haven't met the one because I have a 'type'. I want to go out with an Indie/quirky kind of girl with the exact same music taste as me: Indie/Rock/Folk. Right now I can never see this happening. I already hang out where this type of girl would hang out. I go to a LOT of gigs (mostly on my own because I have no one to take). I'm yet to meet anyone.

 

I guess I'm posting this looking for some tips on how I can improve and meet more women. I'd love some motivating stories on how you met the girl/guy you're dating or in a relationship with/ex to show me there's still hope?

 

Thanks,

Unbeknown

Thanks Valen, maybe it was the wrong place in hindsight.

 

There are quite a few examples (both some classic school/work encounters, as well as many of the more unusual type) in the thread " How did you meet your husband/wife? " at http://www.loveshack.org/forums/romantic/marriage-life-partnerships/431985-how-did-you-meet-your-husband-wife#post5269799

 

And cheers, this is great. So nice to readso many different stories. Thanks a million!
