I have been single for more than 5 years now and I have been trying to get a girlfriend since I have been single I have tried almost every trick in the book and all the cliches (just be confident, start as a friend, etc.) and none of them work. I don't want to seem desperate or like a pedo. I am not out for Sex I just want a woman to be my girlfriend and I don't want to ruin the friendship that is already established. I refuse to do dating websites partially because I don't have the money or time for it and partially because I don't like that kind of dating (from experience and seeing family do it I have determined that its just not for me) and I don't want to just walk up to her and kiss her or whatever (cause to me that would seem like I'm creepy or a Pedo). how do I get a girlfriend after all of this hasn't worked? please help. just to add on/reiterate I have tons of friends (over 600-700+) so the get a big circle of friends thing isn't a problem. and I also trust and talk to most if not all of them so that's not a problem. and like I said above I have tried all the Cliches (be yourself, be confident, dress nicely, etc.) and none of them have worked. also a lot of my friends are females (I am very friendly, nice, kind, etc. especially to women) so getting female friends isn't the problem. I have been told and myself think that I am not ugly at all so looks isn't a problem. if you notice I do everything right but nothing seems to be working and like I said above I don't want to ruin the already established relationships that I have with the women as friends, I'm not looking for sex like most guys are, Dating Websites aren't for me (again seen through experience and not just being judgemental), I don't wanna seem like a creeper or a pedo, and I don't just wanna walk up and like kiss her or grab her butt or something (I'm just not that type of guy). and I am friends and attracted to many different kinds of women so Its not like I'm singling out one type so having a broader spectrum isn't the problem. so please if you have something other than cliches (cause again I've tried them all and they Haven't worked) that can help please let me know. all the girls I have tried asking all show some form of interest in me. so that's not the problem. I am pretty cool around women and don't stutter or look at my feet or anything so that's not the problem. I do flirt in a lot of conversations with Women but that hasn't worked (which is a cliche which I already said Haven't worked). I laugh at Jokes that women say I have a very good sense of humor and can find a lot of things funny I also make them laugh as well but that hasn't worked either as it is a cliche which I said Haven't worked. please don't send cliches as answers I have already said that I have tried them all and none of them have worked. no matter what happens (if I flirt or if I don't if I'm nice or if I'm not) the girls always end up in the friend Zone to start with no matter what I do even if I don't want them to.

    How do I get a girlfriend after trying everything and having none of it work? Possibly by either dating foreign gals, lowering your standards, or increasing your attractiveness, wealth, status, appeal, or personality.

      Your romantic/sexual failures seems to be a much better indicator of your attractiveness and personality than compliments by gals that are in relationships/not ready for relationships.

      In my opinion compliments by gals in relationships/not ready for relationships are like compliments from women a guy's mothers age meaning they're basically worthless or bullsh*t since they come from gals that aren't interested in having sex with him, dating him, or being his girlfriend.
    • Answerer

      That's not the other side of the coin. The pics would show me what's your lowest beauty standards.

      You didn't easily disproved it rather you proved I my guess correct that you basically not having standards mean average looking.

      You also proved my other guess right that the gals were in relationships or saying that they weren't ready for relationships. In my experience you'll find such gals are quite quick to tell guys how good their looks and personality are even it isn't true.
    • Question Asker
      4 months ago
      you are right I could provide pics from google but on the other side of the coin whatever pics I provide will make you think that I am only interested in those specific types which I am not. and how does my previous statement confirm your guess? I easily disproved it. I have tried everything including the below mentioned but they have told me that they are already in a relationship (unbeknownst to me by the way) or that they were going through some stuff and werent ready for a relationship.
    • Answerer
      4 months ago
      You can easily provide pics of what you consider average looking from google either way your previous statements confirmed my guess.

      I thought you said you tried everything to get a girlfriend so how come you didn't try asking out any of these multiple gals that told you that you were handsome and had an awesome personality?
    • Question Asker
      4 months ago
      and for the other part I don't know I haven't asked and they haven't told me (that doesn't automatically mean no that just means that they haven't told me although they have told me sometimes that they wish they had someone like me)
    • Question Asker
      4 months ago
      again I don't have any pics to provide. and I really don't care about height or weight (I mean I obviously don't want anyone who is like 600LBS no one does but I mean if she is like 30 or 40 LBS overweight yeah I'm Fine with that but at the same time I am also fine with the Supermodel or fit looking body and everything in between) and I don't know any really ugly looking girls (unless you mean like Down Syndrome look or whatever in which case I have to say that's mean)
    • Answerer
      4 months ago
      Miscommunication as I was describing average looking for a guy.

      Again care to provide a pic of what you consider average looking for a gal. I highly doubt you don't really care about height, weight, looks otherwise you'd quite easily get a girlfriend in an obese ugly gal.

      The answer for the other part of the question were any of these gals that complimented you willing to have sex with you, date you, or be your girlfriend? If not seems like bullsh*t as people tend to give bs compliments.
    • Question Asker
      4 months ago
      and to answer your other question no none of the compliments came when I was complaining about my love life (I rarely do that to begin with) they were all compliments given just out of the blue.
    • Question Asker
      4 months ago
      ok then by your definition no its not average looking girls. I like girls shorter and taller than 5'10" I'm fine with a little weight on the girl (I mean she doesn't have to have that Supermodel body she can be a little big) clear complexion isn't needed (although most girls I know have a clear complexion anyways) and I'm not too sure what you mean by appealing facial features. but yeah as you can see basically any woman is what fits (as I don't really care about height, weight, looks, etc.)
    • Answerer
      4 months ago
      My definition of average looking is 5'10'' height, healthy body weight aka fit and lean, clear complexion, and appealing facial features.

      When they told you this was it during you questioning/complaining about your romantic failures and were any of these these gals that told you that you willing to have sex with you, date you, or be your girlfriend?

      If these compliments came during a time you were talking about your lacking love life and the gals wouldn't date you they may be bullsh*t.
    • Question Asker
      4 months ago
      I don't have any pics I can post. and what is your definition of average looking? I do have an awesome personality and I am handsome (I have been told this by multiple women multiple times and also myself think so and none of them were trolling or just trying to make me feel good about myself I am absolutely sure of this) and yet still no girlfriend (thats just the way it is and I have no idea why) so yeah
    • Answerer

      @QA
      Care to post a pic of your idea of basically having no standards as in my observations when guys claim such it tends to mean average looking.

      In my opinion if you did have an awesome personality and were handsome you'd have a girlfriend or have gals pursuing you as my guy pals and the hot guys I know tend to be heavily pursued by gals.
    • Question Asker
      4 months ago
      I don't have any money or any way of getting foreign women (not that I really want to anyways) I thought I mentioned it in the post but if not I basically have no standards (well I do but they are super general and can really apply to any woman so yeah and I am attracted to many different types of women anyways) don't want a girl who wants me for money or for being super popular, I have an awesome personality (women have told me themselves and have told me that I am handsome)

    So I've read that you've tried every cliché ... Have you tried being a real gentlemen ... For me that's the biggest turn on ever when a guy opens doors, thinks of my needs (ex. Bringing me soup and tea when I'm sick) with out being told or asked. It shows you're trying to impress them. It shows that they are special to you without anything in return. It shows that you are different than every other guy by not trying all the cliché's/lame pick up lines. And any girl that would actually be worth it would see you as someone they could be with ... Why? Because a gentleman is so hard to find. I mean ... Have you asked them out? I would assume so, but I didn't read anywhere that you did. So if you don't make a move ... A real move ... They won't end up your girlfriend and will go into the friend zone.

      Ok then when you hang out with them keep in mind you're interviewing as a boyfriend ... Don't get too comfortable, don't say or do things you wouldn't do in front of a girldfriend ... And guys should pay for dates before your in a relationship. If they want to hang out their not interested in you as more. I will always off to pay my share on a date, but if he's a gentemen he won't allow it, I only insist on pay my share when I'm not interested, and then when your in a relationship then its mroe equa
    • Question Asker
      5 months ago
      I have before but all they have said is that they would rather hang out or that we are low on cash so we can't do anything or whatever. Friends can also be a good thing though in that you establish a non sexual relationship with someone and get to know them and such before you decide if you want to start a relationship with them or whatever. how long does the window of opportunity remain open?
    • Answerer
      5 months ago
      Ask them out on a real date. Hanging out is not a date. By the time you get around to asking them out they probably only see you as a friend because you let the window of opportunity close.
    • Answerer
      5 months ago
      I think its simple ... Friends is a bad way to go. Don't start out as friends ... That's never worked out for me. I've been friends with guys and then after a year or so they profess their love ... But, as a friend I see things and accept things that I wouldn't accept in a boyfriend. I don't return their love and poof goes our friendship. Start out as casually dating or whatever you want to call it, but do not ever call her a friend.
    • Question Asker
      5 months ago
      not a typical date (Dinner and a movie type deal) mostly just a hang out get to know each other type thing. I don't know they always just end up in the friend zone whether I want them to or not (I do start a lot of them as friends since that's the building a better relationship and whatever part) I have genuine interest in the and they aren't random cause I know them via school and the neighborhood and whatever.
    • Answerer
      5 months ago
      So,I'm confused. You've asked women out on dates, but they never end up girlfriends? How do they get into the friend zone? Are you just picking random girls, or are these girls you have a genuine interest in? Perhaps you're simply not creating enough of an attraction for them ...
    • Question Asker
      5 months ago
      yeah. I open doors and am kind to women and such even when not on dates. like if friends or family and I are out to Lunch or Dinner or a movie theatre or whatever I usually always open the door for them and anyone else who is coming in or out whether it be male or female. I am very gentlemenly and have even recieved compliments and such on it.

    What is it with you and the word "pedo"? If you want to date, but don't want to seem like a pedo... I'm sorry, how old are the girls you're going for?

      I think you should more research - especially on the meaning of pedophilia. Seriously.
    • Question Asker
      5 months ago
      16-about 21 or so. and I am 19. I've done research and such and its not illegal as long as no sex is involved and since I am not looking for sex I have nothing to worry about. I use Pedo in this way as a general term basically saying that I don't want them to think that all I want is sex (like most pedos do)

    What do you look like? How tall are you? What build are you? A picture would be most useful here.

    Have you previously tried to date women at all? Have you always been rejected or just never asked many out?

    If you are within the realm of normal personality wise (you say you do well socially so I'm assuming you are) you shouldn't have any problems with women, provided you are realistic with your standards compared to how attractive you are.

      if you noticed I said I don't really have standards or one specific type of woman I am attracted to its just general so I don't see how I can lower it from there. I don't have the money to go to the gym or buy the equipment for home or whatever and I am definitely not getting plastic surgery. I've gotten compliments and stuff on my looks before so I don't think that's a problem
    • Answerer
      5 months ago
      You look like me and your the same height as me? That would be your problem then lol. Personally I can only really get interest from overweight women and therefore maybe you will have to lower your standards. Alternatively you could try and improve yourself, I'm starting in the gym in January and planning on getting plastic surgery, hopefully a better body and face will be enough. Its pretty extreme but if you are struggling its lower your standards or improve yourself, there is no other answer.
    • Question Asker
      5 months ago
      I kinda look like your profile picture a little bit. I am about 5'8" 5'9" and of Average Build. I've never really been on a typical date (Dinner and a Movie type deal) due to lack of Money and/or me and my ex's being indecisive about what we wanted to do. I've asked a few out but they have always said no or that they were already in a relationship (unbeknownst to me by the way). depends on your definition of "realm of Normal" and my standards are realistic (just general no one specific type)

    The best thing to do is to start from a common interest. Whatever activities that you like, that can be done in groups and have women participating are great. You might also want to take up a group activity that girls like. That puts you where women are that like what you like. Get to know them and when you find one that you like...just tell her and ask her out if she doesn't kick you to the curb immediately. Beyond that it's a numbers game. Keep trying until you find one that you like who says yes.

      Cool. In that case, all I can say is that every time I've ever gotten a new girlfriend it's been when I'm not actively looking for one. It's like they can sense when you're on the prowl and run away. I figure I'll try to live a fun interesting life, be friendly, meet folks, and see what happens. Good luck!

      except that your theory is incorrect. I literally have tried everything and I haven't decided that I am done trying (in fact quite the opposite I am still trying everyday) I just need some advice on actually getting one in this situation
    • Answerer

      A lost cause is when you've decided you've tried everything and it hasn't worked so you're done trying. It sounds a lot like that might be the case. If you stop trying, nothing will work.

      All any of us can do is keep plugging away and do the best we can and not quit.

      would you mind defining what you mean by "lost Cause"? and how is a lost Cause a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy?

      The money was kind of a joke. What I'm getting from your tone and your comments could be wrong, but it sounds a lot like you've convinced yourself it's a lost cause. That's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Just food for thought.

      I have kept my chin up and kept trying as hard as I can. I do live what I would classify as a fun interesting life (I always have) and I have no intention of buying a love doll nor do I have the money for it or have a sex shop anywhere near me.
    • Answerer
      5 months ago
      I understand, but the reality is you just have to keep your chin up and keep trying. If you succumb to the temptation to feel self pity it'll exude from your pores and chicks will smell it a mile away. Live a fun, interesting life, and be friendly. Unless you're Quasimodo, there will be people that want to join in the fun. Keep at it long enough and you might find one that's right.

      You might not find one, but you'll have a good time looking.

      Or buy a love doll.
