Hi,
I have been on several dates from online dating lately, but many of them have resulted in no second date. It is making me very depressed and worried that I might be some kind of hideous freak in person. I feel like giving up.

Don't take it personal
It's the catch of the game
We'd all like to believe that a person liked us as to why they accepted a date. Truth is, you don't really know why someone accepted a date from you. Some people will accept a date because they like you, while others will accept it out of boredom or wanting attention.
You're either going on first dates too fast, ignoring the signs of a woman not being into you before the date, or you're getting on these dates and falling flat.
You could contact a couple of them and ask if there is anything you could change one a first date for when you meet someone else. It might be harsh feedback or kind if lucky. But it would answer your question personally.
1 in 10 online dates result in a second date. Its a numbers game, the fact that you're getting dates is an extremely positive thing.
I got 16 dates with 12 different women in 4 months on line. So I got 4 second dates... but when I talk about how hard it was and how getting rejected is part of the process and it sucks... well I get no sympathy because most guys get zero dates.
Just keep working on it my man, you'll figure it out.
Personality trumps looks any day so work on that first. Then after you got that dialed in, hit the gym for a month or two and start using soap in the shower. Usually that’s all it really takes. Just put in the time and the results will start showing. But be optimistic and out in the work in the personality department first.

I'd suggest insisting before the date that each person will pay their own way. That should help eliminate the many users that only date someone for a free meal. that is very common and often why people only go on one date.
I NEVER do a meal date. I only meet for quick drinks or coffee.
Meal dates are for simps.
No, we usually go half or I buy one drink. I never go more than £15, so her drink would max cost about £8.
It's more likely your personality that's the problem.
How would they be able to decipher my personality from a 1.5/2 hour meeting?
Pot meet kettle
If you got dates you're doing better that the majority of men who don't even get a reply.
It's your personality.
If you got the date at all, you already passed the 'looks' test.
Oh bringing back many memories…
My problem was not being able to separate sex and conversing with women. I’d just try to befriend as many women as possible and put sex or dating on backburner.
Well you are at least getting the first date. That is saying something.
It's probably your personality. I've had dates with women that were attractive but not the personality for me.
Do you tell any jokes?
Yes, my face is the joke.
If you do not then memorize some corny, not sexual. Record yourself so your voice will not startled you. Practice before a mirror. Memorize five but have 3 that you can use in person. One as a sort of "Opener" and two for silent moments. Girls like to laugh and feel safe with a guy who can exhibit strength and ability in the "Silent Moments" This is in-person and not applicable to online unless facetime.
Maybe, but I've recently pretty much maximised my physical appearance and yet this stuff still happens.
I just don't know anymore.
Post a How Do I Look.
No keep your head up
Who knows? Maybe it is your personality?
I doubt it.
Yes. You and me both. Hideous freaks.
