I like to believe I have the potential to be successful with women, BUT...

[runaway]

25 y.o. guy slightly frustrated with his love life. Not trying to sound pompous but I believe I am an attractive guy. I have been somewhat successful thus far. I've been told I look pretty good. I treat ppl with respect. I have many talents. I have gone on numerous dates over the last four years. I've hooked up with a good number of girls, had the FWB thing going here and there, but I can't seem to find "the one."

 

I am starting to get jaded. The person doesn't have to be with me for the rest of my life, but what I really want in my life is a girl I can form a special bond with. Something that lasts. I do try to just live in the moment instead of thinking far ahead. My life has been just fine without the "special person" in the last few years, but I believe my life could be even better with that person. It's just not happening!

 

People always tell me that when things don't work out, it's not really about me but it's really about them. However, I believe I can improve my "game" so to speak. I am not sure as to what I am doing wrong. Perhaps there are things I do unknowingly that turn women off.

 

Perhaps my "game" is really weak, but I don't know what my particular weaknesses are. I think I may need some coaching and guidance. What do you suggest?

If you get that line a lot, yeah, it's you.

And they haven't got the guts to tell the person why that is so.

One problem with dating advice forums is that people rarely

get a straight answer to their problem, especially if the problem

involves not being able to get dates, being constantly rejected or

flaked on, or just not being able to find someone they could have

a relationship with, despite the fact that finding a relationship seems to be

no problem for many other people.

 

They're expected to somehow figure it out for themselves without

having any resources at their disposal that would help them find their

answers. It's like everything has to be a mystery or a big secret.

...BUT I'm openly asexual.

 

Straight guy + asexual = does not compute.
