i deleted all ties i had to online dating sites and pr0n. i need to be more socially active. and get out more. stop looking for some ass and get a real gf. yes my past date i had made me think more of this even tho we met on base. just spending time with her for four days strait made me think a lot of how ive been living my life. it needs a change.
now its been such a long time for me since ive dated from meeting in person that i can remember, i dont really know how to approach a girl now. walking up to a girl and asking A/S/L? really isnt going to cut it any more. LMFAO. admit it, that does sound pretty funny. i dont really know how to approach a girl or where to really go to meet girls. going to a bar to look for girls is just as bad as online dating.
i dont remember how or what i did to meet and approach girls since i lost some memory from my accident when i was stationed in florida. i was too shy about all of my scars to go out and meet girls.
so some pointers on where to go and how to meet girls would be much appreciated.
all that is my new years resolution. to better my life and social life.
shes too busy with doing all of her goodbyes to her other friends and family before she leaves for boot. ill see her again when she is at the MEPs hotel the night before she leaves. gotta giver her her space on that. i know i wanted to see everyone i could before i left. so i know how she is feeling.
girls are all around you, you just need to open your eyes.
You need an overhaul, starting with your self esteem. It all boils down to inner confidence. Outward appearance means about as much as your shoe size. That's not to say you should dress like a slob though, either.
Start small. Inject yourself into the social fabric. Talk to the checkout lady. Talk to the people in front of you when you're standing in line at the post office. Make some new friends. Women are not attracted to people who do not have friends.
Don't expect to go from zero to hero in a week. This will take time. All good things usually do.
btw, I would NOT say that bars or online dating sites are bad... they're just tools. Places where people congregate. You think only a certain type of people go to bars? c'mon, get real. or maybe find a new bar.

Ya can't be doing all that badly--you just convinced a member of the opposite sex to spend the better part of 4 days with you--and a good looking member of the opposite sex at that. Doesn't matter what did or did not happen during that time--she didn't go screaming out of your place the first night so you have to have some good traits. Focus on those.

Take a Carribean cruise. After dating strippers for most of my life, (they are easy), I found the love of my life on a Carnival cruise. Never planned it that way, but it is what it is. Good luck.

that is a great example, next time your at the store, choose the line with the female that is near your age and just have small talk it will get you more comfy with nonsense talk with strangers
and make things easier if you find that one of these check out girls is dating material remember that in genera,...l Target workers > wal*mart
I met my wife at a part time job, though I had given up looking at that point, it seems the less you look the more you find. You could try and get something part time, or volunteer at a place that helps the needy, or hungry, you can meet people there too. Maybe you even already know someone but haven't thought about them that way?
Did you say you are on a military base? If so that changes things in ways I do not know probably.
Good for you, and good luck. Stick to it.

yes i am military. i generally dont like the kind of girls that go after a man in uniform because thats just it. theyre after the uniform. not the man. id rather have a girl like me for me. not because i wear a uniform.
target girls are tons better than walmart girls. lowes seems to have some cuties too. scronic carhops are good too. just need to watch out. some of those girls are like 16 but make themselfs look older.
if only i had a ferrari lol nah, i dont want a girl that is just after the car and not the guy driving the car.
Listen to what ryan.hess said. Here's your task for this next 2 days. Smile! That's it. Go out, make eye contact with everyone you see (guys too!) and just SMILE! Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day and your inner confidence won't be either. So, to recap, EYE CONTACT, SMILE. Make sure you SMILE! If you don't you'll just creep people out!

Think positive son! I've been blessed with being a goofy looking mother ****er, but I can talk to anyone. I will attest to what has been said here, and the tips about just striking up conversations with random people is a great suggestion. Even if it is only 2 minutes while you are being checked out (pun intended ) at the grocery store. Conversation is conversation.
And I've provided this instructional video...

Google is your friend. Also, from Two and A Half Men:

Alan: Hey, are you alright? Charlie: No, I'm not. Alan: What's going on? Charlie: Alan, I have always conducted my sex life according to three simple principles: One—if at all possible, ladies first; Two—it is easier to be forgiven than ask permission; and third and most important—the ten seconds it takes to put on a condom beats the hell out of the ten years you have to pretend to like soccer.
