Hey there,

I have been having some troubles as of late. I was in a relationship for 3 years and my old girlfriend left me (long story but bottom line is I was crushed afterwards for various reasons) and have been single for about 7 months and have been ready to try to find a date with a new girl but am just having a hard time.

 

I am in University and go to the gym 3 times a week and have lots of hobbies and sports I like to play. I try and go out occasionally with friends to the bars but that isn't my favorite thing to do. I am having a hard time meeting women that are potential people I can date or people in general.

I have big classes so it is pretty hard to get to know anyone since most of my classes have different people. I try and go out to coffee shops and the mall a few times a week to do my normal thing but never get to meet anyone unfortunately.

OLD is out of the question for this smallish city even though I have tried but the women on there aren't really the type of women I would like to date.

 

My main question is where can I meet some girls I can take out on dates and how do I even ask for a date? I met my past GF in high school so had the same classes for most the time how we met. I am a fun guy to be around, I am pretty funny, have fairly good looks and well kept/dress nice (no Brad Pitt or anything), have a strong future in my field of study, and I am a great boyfriend in my opinion and treat people really well but I just have a hard time meeting new people.

When I am in the Library at school or at a coffee shop how would I approach a girl? I'm pretty shy if I don't know the person but really open up after I know them. Any help would be awesome!

I get down sometimes because I just can't meet anyone even though I know it will happen eventually since I am a good guy.

What OLD site have you used? Have you tried multiple different sites or just one and didn't like it? There are a lot of OLD sites out there. I like OKCupid. It's even free.

I tried a few but its not the site its just the city I live in is fairly small so it's all the same people and not a lot of people who are actively trying to get a good career/university. I am not very picky about women but that is one thing I find important.

You may need to branch just outside of your city. Isn't there a nearby large city, or no?

My city is about 60 000ish so it isn't small but not large at all and the nearest similar sized town is about 2 hours from here.

Just say hi to your fellow student and talk about studying.....
