Its controversial, but I feel luck luck/fate doesn't exist. For instance, the ugliest guy I believe could get a date if he asked out enough girls and played a numbers game. I can't speak to the girl perspective though.
no.. something as complex as dating cannot be reduced to just one factor
certainly not luck
Yes, it's based on luck, sometimes we hit lucky, while other times we don't. Also, there are people to date, but they're immature and that's where we fail.
luck. right time, right place, good situation in life, etc.
It takes opportunity and action. It takes luck to get the right opportunity at the right time. You then need to seize it.
Yes, Dating is always a bit of luck. It's not like the girl you like will be your date every time. At the same time, matching sexual preference also matters. It all depends on you how you want your date...
It depends on a lot if things, But luck is usually about 15 to 20% of it.
It can depend on how Confident you are and even how Confident they are and in what setting etc.
Dating is almost zero luck. One single interaction may succeed or fail based on luck but if you got it you got it and if you don't you don't. End of story.
It is based on luck but also based on the idea that the person looking will have reasonable criteria. Your stated age range may be too restrictive to produce anyone of interest.
Of course it is. You're not always lucky in love on the first date.
Really?
@katestar89 I've been on a number of first dates that didn't go anywhere! Things WOULD'VE gone somewhere with Vicky had she not been such a scaredy cat!! But, it was HER choice not to continue. She couldn't handle a comedy movie that had a couple of minor scares in it!
I would've continued with Mary but, a number of her siblings were either born crippled and or retarded (out of 10 or 12, I only know of 3 that were born normal, from what I can tell) and, I didn't want to risk that with any of my potential kids!
I have to tell you something.
@katestar89 Okay.
Well. Anyway. I've never been on a date before
@katestar89 Is that what you wanted to tell me? Why HAVEN'T you ever been on a date, Kate? You're kinda Kute, Kate.

Well. Anyway. I've been waiting for a reply from the guy I grew up with. Brandon thane wilson
@katestar89 How long?
I don't know
@katestar89 If it's more than a week, maybe you should stop waiting.
What are you talking about?
@katestar89 You DON'T wanna waste your entire life waiting for him to reply! If you've given him a chance and he''s not responding, time to cut loose and find someone else. Even a fisherman knows when to stop fishing in the same are and find a new place to fish. Do you wanna wait for him `til you're an old maid?
Well. Anyway. You're right about
@katestar89 As I've said, I haven't exactly been waiting for Emily or Jennifer my whole life! Best to take what's available than to wait for what's not.
I haven't thought about it
@katestar89 How likely are you to get BT?
Bt? What are you talking about?
@katestar89 Brandon Thane
His name is Brandon thane wilson
@katestar89 Yes, but, I forgot there was a Wilson attached to it.
Yeah. I'm in love with him
@katestar89 Love is a two way street!
What do you mean by that?
@katestar89 Just because you're in love with him doesn't mean he's in love with you. Love is a two way street! It has to come from BOTH of you TO each other in order for it to work or be worth anything.
He's single now. But he will be falling in love with me
@katestar89 How do you know?
Like you said. That love is a two way street. He doesn't have a girlfriend.
@katestar89 Neither do I but, it doesn't mean I'm gonna instantly fall in love with the first girl that wants me to.
Oh. Really?
@katestar89 Yes, really.
Well. Brandon thane wilson and I grew up together as teenagers and we're adults.
@katestar89 Okay. Diane Rudl & I lived across the street from each other `til we got out of high school. I had a crush on her, for a while but, we're still not in love.
Wow. That's the sad thing I ever heard.
@katestar89 That's just the way life is! We're still pretty good friends and talk to each other, a couple years ago I even went out for a pizza with her. Apparently, it's not in the cards for she & I to be boyfriend/girlfriend. She still cute and, if she wanted me, I'd be happy about it but, I'm not about to hold my breath, live in hope or try to MAKE her fall for me.
What am I supposed to do about it?
@katestar89 Just stay good friends with him and throw him an occasional hint about how you feel about him but don't be a stalker, unless you wanna chase him away.
I'm not a stalker.
@katestar89 That's good.
I'm going to get highlights tomorrow.
@katestar89 Cool!
If I get highlights on my hair. He will tell me how he feel
@katestar89 It could happen.
Yeah.
There is definitely some luck especially timing involved in meeting the right person.
People change over time and is imposible to match with more persons than not; unless you are in the top 5 of attractiveness.
I don’t think it’s luck. I think it just has something to do with. Access.
Yes and no.
Yes if the person is in the right mood.
No if you know what mood you are in before the date
Dating is firstly based on looks, looks it the most important factor especially online dating, then it's status.
I'm afraid it's all up to chance. I've dated for a longass time with little success. I'm gonna give up and let Lady Luck roll the dice!
Yes it's all about the luck. I feel I'm not fortunate enough to find someone.
Some luck, but you can increase your odds by casting a wider net, as you did with the ages.
@thesimfans In my opinion, I say luck plays at least 25% of a factor whether dating succeeds or end in utter failure.
Nope. Just money and looks. If you don't have either of those give up.
