Topic: How many of you feel ignored out in the dating world?

It is a confidence thing. When you stop carrying all the pressure of "I have to MEET someone" or "I NEVER have any luck" or "There is some mystical quality that everyone has BUT ME"; then you can relax and develop some confidence.

If you like the way a girl looks, look her in the eye for Christsake and smile. Be genuine and sincere; and DON'T MAKE IT INTO SOMETHING IT ISN'T.

You aren't looking to be a player, so don't try to do what they do. Drop your expectations and accept whatever bounties are bestowed upon you. If it is only a 15 minute conversation... then that is what it is. If it is an invitation to spend more time together... then that is what it is.


This is a good reply and reminds me of myself when I was younger. I used to have this problem specifically where I would panic about making the right impression. I made a lot of gains since then and am opposite now and have no problems approaching women and talking (job i had came in handy for this), I am pretty confident when it comes to that. And I like talking even if nothing comes out of it, just feel invisible in general. My friends constantly tell me about how all these women blatantly check them out and while I'm sure they probably exaggerate some of it, I'm sure they aren't totally lying and they are not really much better looking or confident than me. In my case I just don't see it even if I dress nice, put on cologne, blah blah blah. Of course maybe I'm just not perceptive enough but I think maybe lots of guys might have felt this way at one point or another


Yep. lots of us have.

Like I said...you just have to step up and MAKE them pay attention.

It's a confidence thing, build up your confidence and then maybe you will find someone. And once you hit the friend zone that is basically where it stays "Friends". Good Luck.

The trick is this...walk around like you own the place..(head held high, lots of direct eye contact, easy casual smile)...throw in a simple smiling, "Hello" or "You got great eyes"....then just keep walking.

Appearing needy or desperate won't get anyone anywhere. They will then approach you. I ain't kidding....works like a charm and it don't matter if they are 18 or 80...they all dig a guy who is easy going and self confident.

I did when I was about your age, however, you learn with time what is important to you. Getting that drunk girl to go home with you or getting a phone number of a girl that looked hot when your beer goggles are on won't be as important as making friendships and seeing where things go!

I can relate to this. I am the "friend" and rarely do I date. When it comes to romance I am the invisible woman. When it comes to being a great friend I am front and center. Just keep being yourself, the right one will come along.
