northshore11 should add real photos. come on be real with yourself. what a shame.

LOL, sorry, you only said it 6 times!

My best friend is 5'4 and she won't date anyone over 5'6, in fact, she is getting married this November and her fiancee has requested that she not wear heels in the pictures so he can look taller then her!

Hang in there, this site is awesome, and given enough time, you may find someone. I met a MM a while back, him and I just ended a 16 month relationship, we still talk, but aren't together anymore. Plus, I have something just as good from this site, a whole **** ton of really great friends!

maybe your right, but it;s hard to get around. i hate bars and clubs, so thats out for me..

parks maybe, i mean there is a park in avon lake where poeple walk and go swimming. i did get stared at by this gorgeous woman. but then she turned away so i don't think she wanted me to talk to her or even say hello. so i faced that fact and went about my business.

okay then the guy your mother and sister find are good. but the women i have talked to say shorter guys are not good enough. when i was younger i was told by a female friend that since i am short i'll never have anyone. that i wasn't good enough.. i stopped being her friend after that. but i'm not 28, maybe she was right?

what about taking some local classes, learn to paint or cook or something. Maybe someone at one of those types of thing could be the one.

I love going out to the bars and having fun and drink (probably too much), but I also have no interest in dating anyone I meet in a bar. Been there done that, and it wasn't pretty! LOL

maybe you need to work on your confidence too

Maybe she got into your head, and you believe that, and it shows that you are not confident in yourself. Maybe if you changed your way of thinking into a more positive way, it would project outwards! just a thought.

uhh...rufies? lolz....seriously, just go for it and ask her on a date. You lose 100% of the women you don't ask, as they say.

couldn't have said it better,

Work on your self confidence first, never sexier then a man with confidence!

your 100% right, but it's the lack of hey how are you today kind of experince i'm lacking here.

Very true... I'm still kicking myself for not asking a guy out a couple weeks ago, he came to install my internet, an hour later after great conversation, I never even got his name. A few days later I ran into him at the county fair, and chickened out of talking to him... btw, he was no taller then me...

i get that alot, the confidence factor.
when i do have it built up, wearing nice clothes no odor whats so ever i still get turned down when i do see a girl that caughts my eye.

whats left?

i know woman are just as scared to ask or even talk to a guy. but more then 90% it's still up to the guy..

^5 on the "You loose 100% of the dates you don't ask."

Try to smile at women first, it might break the ice. They just might come over, if not keep smiling at her but not in a creepy kind of way. If she smiles back go talk to her!

any longer then a minute of smiling at any girl who either get the cops called on me or her throwing something. smiling not such a good idea.

I don't see picking on people you are asking help from as real productive; maybe that is what other people see you do in other settings and they loose interest before you are ever up to bat.

I tried to help... then do what you think is right.

Showing confidence goes a long way. Also how you present yourself...I have a short male friend who wears his jeans rolled at the cuff, not good. Get them shortened/altered if need be. You are a nice looking young man, perhaps your lack of career hampers your self confidence and is unattractive to age appropriate women. Seems to me that people your age are looking towards building a future and many young women would want their partner to be able to contribute his fair share.

Good luck, keep mingling, the people here are awesome!
