However you NEED to stop being so goddamn insecure and dependent on another person to make your life happy.

Heck but that's all I could do to meet someone... I don't know of any other means to meet a girl. I tried everything - dancing clubs, cafes etc all with zero luck. I did the best I could, maybe it seems like a game but I didn't think it was, it was in fact quite a rude game, to say the least.

You're trying too hard. Women can smell desperation.

Concentrate on self-improvement and making yourself happy being you and living your life. When you have built up your confidence and self-image, women will sense it and flock to you. When it's time, you'll know when to act or someone will come into your life; you have to trust in that. Don't keep actively searching for someone to make you happy because it won't happen -- even if you do meet someone, with the way you're thinking I'd bet money that you'd become too clingy and push them away anyhow.

If you feel that way then its very obvious to everyone around you that you are as well. Us girls can pick up on those things quickly. We arent attracted to pathetic/desperate losers.

DOH! 🙁

Booster... you want a spoiler? I've got a spoiler... 😀

I found your problem. Keep your head up dude, girls can sense desparation. You have to have a higher self-esteem. You can't be that bad.

Upon reading this line, I hereby declare this thread an official YAGT Parody, and I do also hereby declare Booster to be full of dook.

Of course, it is a parody. But of what? YAGT? I didn't entitle it a YAGT b/c I don't see any girls here, only, as you say, losers like me, for example. However, there is one thing that holds true for me. I'm such a person that when I'm done with something, I never get back to it. And I feel I'm never going to get back to all this relationship thing ever again, I don't have anything positive left in me after all the crap I've come through. I maybe got all wrong ideas in my head, but it is really painful to realize that you going to live the rest of your life all alone, not like other 'normal' people. The only thing that bothers me is that I seem to come back to these feelings each time I turn on some movie or listen to music, I rarely do that any more. You see people there who find love, who lose it and basically it's all about it. What I don't like is that I'd have not to watch any movies or listen to any music or read books b/c it would remind me all the time that I could do it to, but for some strange reason couldn't at the same time.
 
calling yourself a loser isnt going to help matters or your confidence. if my friend was saying "i'm such a loser, blah blah" i would get sick of that crap. i mean, are we supposed to say ohhh poor thing and make it all better or what. self pity is not the thing to do.
 
Hey Booster. Don't feel too bad about not meeting the right person. I know just exactly how you feel. Heck, I'm 29 and still not married yet and I only been in one serious relationship in my life (which ended pretty badly). I think the problem is that you think you are old and have preconceived notions of where your life should be at a certain age. You should understand that nowadays there are a lot more people single at a later age than the "baby boom" generation. I would try to just have fun like most people of your age.

I agree with everyone else's advice about making more friends (acquaintances) and networking. It shouldn't matter if they are 23 or 65. You might meet someone through a friend's daughter, uncle, coworker etc. But most of all you should feel comfortable being single. Being a happy individual makes you more attractive.

Let me offer you a :beer:. That usually does the trick.

Umm, issues? After 40 minutes you were having visions of your wedding etc? You, my friend, are desperate. That is really obvious to some chicks, and they dont dig it usually. Are you ugly or deformed or something? You seem like you are ok socially, but that could just be what you see yourself as.

I believe it's the 40 minutes you were having visions of your wedding etc? that screwed him over.
 
Guys, seriously, have some fvcking heart. It takes alot to pour your emotions and problems out to people, so cut him some slack. It doesn't help if everyone that you look to for advice just throws it back in your face and takes the piss outta you.

Well he's an idiot for coming here looking for advice. What ever happened to real world friends to confide in?
 
so? doesn't mean you can't have a little respect. Don't tell me you've never been down and out and not known where to go for help?
 
Hey, I was pretty concerned about your welfare, Booster! :Q I almost bumped your old thread to ask if the 'net chick was really a monster who hurt you. Good to see you again, Booster.

Booster, no, you have it all wrong. You've got major issues. The internet lady saw it in you, which is why she ran away fast. The Self is suffering and hasn't identified itself. I remember your thread about what sounded like "depression". You were asking how you could feel accepted and make friends (something like that), so you wouldn't be so lonely. I also remember you saying over and over that you didn't want women. Now read your original post. The tone is so different, except one element remains. The remaining element and common denominator is you and your esteem. You seem to lack in esteem. You haven't found yourself, so you hardly know what you really want. You think women or something else would fulfill your life, then you get a chance but panic because you're so unsure of yourself. You're so convinced that you cannot achieve anything. It's up to you, Booster. Take a break for at least 6 months. Try to socialise. I don't mean the bar scene. I mean simple relationships would help you. Don't do something silly like trying to meet someone from the 'net when your problem is having too little human contact to interact. I still wonder what your relationship is like with your family. I have to wonder if you have a relationship with your family members. It is hard for me to believe that if you did, you would have this major insecurity and issue on very basic things, such as relating with people.

Hope you can find yourself help, Booster.

By the way, impressive to learn that you were not disappointed in your date's appearance. Was she exactly as she described herself? Do you have a picture to share of you, Booster?

I resisted the urge to flame him until his pubic hair caught fire and burned off; instead I actually gave him some honest, truthful advice from someone who's been in his shoes. If he doesn't want to listen, fine, he can keep having a depressing life full of relationship failures. Not my problem.

Well sorry mate that attitude isn't going to get you far with most girls 🙁.

Try to improve upon that for a start.

The situation will improve. You will get lucky later on. Just don't try too hard and just ENJOY life and what you have. Things will be better later on.

I went from the ages of knowing nothing to 14 and getting an interest in girls. But I wasn't too bothered by girls and dating. I just had my fun doing things. Going out etc. Then I'm with my current gf by luck. Sometime it just happens.

wasn't saying that you gave him bad advice, just people in general in the thread are flaming too much.
 
Hey booster, keep your face up and just keep at it. I think you shouldn't think too much of a girl and act like a normal friend. Don't give off a vibe to the girl where they know that you want them badly and everything. Girls like mystery... err ya... so do that. Treat them like normal people/friends and keep them guessing. This'll help you because it'll make them think about why aren't you all over them. You have to play games man... (unless she loves you at first sight) but even then you have to keep playing to keep their interest up. You're 24, yes it seems impossible now, but when you do get a g/f, it'll all be worth it. Even "the_good_guy" got a g/f and he used to write things similar to you? (I think.. err ya)

ROFL

Aw man, this is the funniest thread I have read all day. Man, some you ATOT people are some real losers.
That's a little harsh. I'm sure not the cream of the crop yourself. That's the bad thing about the net is that anybody can be whoever they wanna be, including tards like you.:disgust:
Next time when you try to make a point, make sure it makes sense before you hit "Reply to Topic"
Well, I did make a typo. "I'm sure YOU'RE not the cream of the crop yourself."

Next time YOU hit "Reply to Topic," make sure you aren't making yourself look stupid because you couldn't figure out an insult when one was directed at you.
 
All thoe some of you will take this advice and flame it or dun care for it. What you need to do is firstly stay true to who you are and honest about what you do. This even means cutting out that dang lieing to ya know. By doing so NOT only will you be the same person on the net as you are in true life but to the one you will meet again. You also need to stop thinking so much like a guy and start looking at a female point of view. They see things totaly differ then you. Keep in mind that true love is something so complex that you can never explain it. Keep in mind that you only going to gain love if you show it, only gain respect if you show it, be cute yes but only naturaly. NO pick up lines at all!!! Everything you do must be something that you not thought of but comes to you as a thought from your heart. What I notice in my pass relations is girls likes to talk to you as their bf/date/lover and they want you to listen. Dun cut in their convo pay them = respect and listen when it comes to convo. Remember the key to any love life is convo and without the flow of info love will never get off the ground. You need to be honest and open to her. Open about everything in your life cause belive it or not a girl wants to know a lot of about you.

I my self has had some very bad relations in the past but 5 years ago I made a huge change in what I was. You can make this change to but to do so you must learn, understand, and in the end you have to be a cute, kewl, guy that is strong but yet shows his feelings openly to your girl or other ppl.

I wish ya good luck dude i'm about 22 and finaly I been with someone more then 2 years! Like you i'm climbing in age as well and while others here will say oh dun worry your young even at 30 what they dun see is when your 30 the chicks are not there and when your 40 haha ya getting no one and well when your 60 exactly 30 years later you starting to knock on the ol door of death.

I my self want to have kids and see there kids and to do that kids at a early age is a must as logn as your matured enought and the other partner as well.

Meeting people takes effort.

Put yourself in places to meet people that have realistic potential.

Find something that you are into and do it. Take some classes, get a second job somewhere, join a church, or just get involved in your local community doing volunteer work. Get to know people, because people know people, and people that like you will want you to meet their single friends.

I think the key in your msg was that you don't really have many friends. I think that is the first course of action not jump into a advanced social behavior (ie. girlfriends, which even the seasoned pros have major problems with).

As a girl, let me say this. I am not into the dating games; they make no sense to me and seem like a waste of time, energy, and emotion. I am not a bad looking gal...I probably improved in my looks since I met my bf who totally increased my self confidence just for loving me for who I was; and I can see how that self esteem can improve how you appear to the opposite sex.

Anyways in terms of how you look. Dude..there are a lot of girls out there who are willing to look past that. The two most prominent guys in my past that I really really fell for (before I met my hot bf), were not really that good looking. But they were really good friends and sometime along our friendship I fell for them.

So perhaps instead of looking for a relationship, you need to make some friends..both boys and girls. Because my life is enriched by both my bf and the gal friends that I have.
