There's an old saying "... boys chase girls until she catches him ..."

Open's up a whole new set of thoughts, don't it?

She'll let you know when it's time. Just don't miss the moment. Sometimes it's the right thing to do.

It depends what "give up" means. I've only tried to get a few girls, and none of them have worked out. I haven't tried to get a girl to like me romantically in a long time, mostly because of how horrible everyone I've liked has turned out to be. I should really start trying for less attractive girls because they're less likely to be assholes.

I'm kind of over it at this point. I mean if you really just want to laid it's not that hard, but a steady bf/gf relationship is a lot of work and a pain in the ass. It's just way too stressful and time consuming. Not having to worry about it is a load off my mind and one less problem I have to deal with. Also I just got really tired of all people who keep saying shit like "You gotta keep trying man, you just haven't found 'The one' yet." or other iterations of the whole soul mate BS. Plus it's almost always up to the guy to the make the first move and ask the girl out and risk getting rejected... which really sucks and takes a toll on your self-esteem.

I'm not really confident and have a rather weird personality, basically enough to have 99,9999999% of the girls not to want me.

So yeah, I've given up on the 'highly evolved western dating game'.

I broke up with my boyfriend recently because I figured it was better to be single than to be in a relationship with someone I didn't really like. Important life lesson, that was.

I think I've sort of given up trying. I mean... if the right guy comes along, I might pursue something with him, but I'm not... actively flirting with dudes or swiping people on Tinder or anything. It's just not my primary focus anymore.

But hey. Have any of you guys tried Tinder? If you're really that desperate to find someone...

That you identify as a "highly sensitive person" suggests that you've read or been told something and now -chosen- to embody this definition.

You didn't see it as criticism, you didn't see it as a challenge, you saw it as a life sentence.

Wake up, get your crap together, and change who you are.

Yay. Problem solved.

I've never "Tried" to get a girlfriend. I dated one girl back in high school, because she asked me out.

I've never asked a girl out myself, and I doubt I ever will.

Hey, OP, guess what.

If you can't be happy on your own, you won't be happy with a girlfriend. You have to be happy by yourself first before you think of dragging somebody else into the equation. Thinking that "girlfriend=happiness" is stupid. Stop thinking you deserve a girlfriend, you'll never get any girl that way.

Haha, to be honest, as nice as it would be to have a boyfriend, I'm more interested in college and building my career at the moment. A boyfriend can wait until later. :3 Although that doesn't mean that I won't date around, I just won't settle down anytime soon.

So just be patient and have hope. Continue to work out, volunteer, busy yourself with activities. Go to events, don't be afraid to meet new people. And most of all, have fun and enjoy yourself~

aw jesus, have some dignity. This is one of the main problems why so many people can't get dates. Stop treating women as if they deserve better than you or are too perfect for you. Women are not perfect creatures they can be just as much assholes, selfish, depressed and lacking in ego as the rest of you are.

When ever you look into a mirror and wishfully daydream of that perfect girl skipping off with a 'better' man because you don't deserve to grace her presence....hit yourself, hard and tell yourself to stop been a giant wet blanket.

This. Also, OP, you really should stop thinking that girls/women are these otherwordly creatures sent down from heaven or something - they're just people, and they wanna be treated as such.

As for me, I'm not trying to search actively for a life partner or something (cuz, y'know, I'm trying to ignore my biological clock everyday). As soon as I meet someone I'm interested in, I'll give it a shot at getting to know her better. If it doesn't work out, both of us go back to the status quo from before. The more pragmatic you look at it, the less it hurts when you get rejected.

Don't view girls as the be all, end all, they're not that great. Although you probably wouldn't know that (this was not a dig at you). Your self worth doesn't rely on whether or not you're in a relationship or if you've eff'd the puss a thousand times.

I suppose I can sympathize with you, because during my times as a horny little freshman, never having been with a guy ever, was thirstier than a fish in a desert. There's nothing to worry about, I guarantee you 100% you'll find someone, it just takes time truuuust me. I don't know you personally but you seem to have good grammar and spelling and that alone is an attractive quality that not a lot of men carry. But just chill out man, it's not a race, and don't generalize girls you wanker, that's rude.

I've pretty much given up. I'm at a stage in my life that while sex seems fun, I hate people and don't want to be around them.

Yeah I've had my fair share of rejections. Just take the hit and keep going and ultimately it makes things that much sweeter when you finally get that mutual feeling. Never really actively searched even before I met my ex. That said, I do really hate the whole dating game, it's needlessly complex and nearly entirely superficial

No point in having a gf, they will eventually just cause you heartbreak if you get too attached. Just find a cool girl hit and move on.
