Har har. New to the forum, old (and bad) hand at the dating game. I hope you lovely people can help me out on that one. More on that later...

I'm a Navy special forces operator (not the typical harsh military man though).

22 years old hale and hearty. I take online personality quizzes far too seriously. I'm probably one of the most easy going and down to earth people around. A movie buff, I have a big collection of many genres (lots of classic and foreign flicks though.) I love to laugh, love to read, love to have serious in depth conversations. I consider myself pretty highly educated but mostly on my own time and terms. I've got a sort of dark biting sense of humour but timing for that is key. I like to make music more than dance to it but I can dance if the need arises.

 

However! I'm having a lot of trouble finding any sort of relationship with a woman. I usually get stuck in the friends zone (it's my ability to give advice and help people figure things out I think). Physically I'd say I'm above average. Special Forces service makes one a very physically fit individual and I've got a "pretty" face or so I've been told. No idea why I'm rejected so much so I came here for some fresh perspectives. Answers I've got before have been "maybe it's your race" I'm Middle Eastern and I really hope that's not the case, or "you seem unapproachable". Usually it's a variation on one of those 2. In any case tips and hints on how to seem approachable and how to approach? I usually just talk to a girl like I'd talk to any other person. That doesn't seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
