So not too long ago, there have been some threads here and there concerning dating. I kinda found it interesting, but I find it hard to actually find someone to date. Is there an easy way?

I mean, a lot of people keep saying, "Oh just go up to a random girl and start talking to her," but if you think about it, isn't it kinda awkward? And yes, I am aware of events such as pub nights. Going to one, actually.

The girls that joined didn't talk. Kinda defeats the purpose. =\

p.s. not everyone in there is a dude

Online dating...

[Reno V]

Join some clubs. You'll find girls with like-minded hobbies.

Use your social circle and ask friends to hook you up.

Next time you sit next to a cute girl in your lecture, chat her up about how you like unicorns or salad.

OR, and I mentioned this 4 years ago I think, go up to random girls and say "I'm sad, I need a kiss". Or if you're a bit bashful, which looks to be the case, substitute hug for kiss.

Just get in the habit of talking to anyone and everyone, be it a simple hello or whatnot. No one will get to see how much of an awesome individual you are if your mouth is closed. Be passionate. Talk about what excites you.

Give them a chance to give you a chance.

Edit: This might be fun. Try and talk to more girls by the end of this year than you have posts on this forum. I guarantee you wont be having these issues anymore.

just talk. what u need most is confidence and the balls to say hi and engage in a conversation. Whether that goes smooth or not, u can be friends, potential gf or just someone awkward you meet.

Too shy? Online dating does work.. chances are slim and it is tricky (in one now) and requires way more luck.

Easiest way: get a friend to hook u up/meet freind's freinds

So any update, AdelaisAer? If you took my advice, how'd it go?

Here's some more I just remembered. You might be fixating to much on the outcome, in this case finding a girlfriend. Just be completely free of outcome. Your only criteria for success should be to just chat to a girl. That's it. Anything else is a nice bonus which you are not striving for.

Just let loose, be cool, and shoot the sh*t. It'll get easier the more you do it (like any other skill), I promise.

This works every time. I am so attracted to guys who talk about unicorns and salad. It's just so... *cough* Is it getting hot in here?

...but make sure not to use all moves at once. You want to bring up the unicorns to get her attention and let her know you're interested. Then, when things are picking up and she's got her hand in the cookie jar, that my friend is when you close with the salad.

WARNING: ORDER SENSITIVE. SALAD BEFORE UNICORNS AND DISASTER LOOMS.

you should go with your gut instinct. if your shy and awkward around girls, maybe you might find a more promising relationship with a male partner.

Girls have cooties anyways, so most of the time its not worth it.

I eat cooties for breakfast.

I'm like I am legend. The last surviving male immune to cooties.

I agree with this advice. Don't chat up a girl, thinking "I really want a girlfriend". Just talk to people, make friends. If you approach every girl with the hopes of dating her, it probably won't work out.
