Well to be honest, it's not complicated at all. We just allow ourselves to get wound up in our insecurities or the insecurities of others. If you met a well-balanced, mature and genuine person tomorrow, dating would be easy peasy. Unfortunately, the world is full of people who are dating prior to having found inner peace, done the proper healing work necessary for them, and raised their awareness enough to see beyond what their rose-coloured lenses show them.

 

That is my theory.

80% of adults are in relationships which means that dating, in fact, must be quite easy seeing as most people have succeeded.

 

Dating is not easy for some people though. What you have to figure out OP is why dating isn't easy for YOU.

 

The 80% doesn't account for the kind of relationships they currently in. They could have wound up with someone that wasn't right for them, but decided to stick around anyway.

 

I knew of people who married someone they were never attracted to to begin with. Is it only successful because they married?

 

There's always a catch.

True and that's another thing is that I'm socially inept and can't tell if a girl is flirting with her eyes. I don't even know what that means or is. The only way I can tell if a girl likes me is if she grabs my crotch and tell me.

Reminds me of the line by (I think) Larry Bubbles Brown "She was reaching down my pants like a grizzly swiping salmon from a cold mountain stream; I wonder if she likes me?" ..lol..

 

For me the difficult part has always been the initial breaking of the ice, and that was/is still a problem I had with everyone, male and female. Reading people and understanding when a girl likes/is flirting with you is a learned skill. Sure it comes easier for some people, but it's something you can practice and improve simply by talking to people, everyone, men and women, as you go about your day(s). I know because I was able to do this myself.

 

Practice, practice, practice...
