Even though I have no dating experience and 25 years old, I can say online dating is no easier than in person. I have to admit I want the girl to approach but as a result its leaving me dateless for a long time and continuing. Why is this? I will be honest I just don't know how to approach women, only men because I'm around them a often. I feel comfortable engaging in conversation with men because I know good topics to talk about such as sports, science and technology. Then I had a dude told me try hiring a escort for breaking down barriers and I thought that may not be a good idea. In addition to not knowing how to approach women and being a little shy, I'm nervous of how she may think of me. From what some men have told me women think of men being creepy when approached. I'm afraid I will experience what they have experienced.

I just transferred to a university, and I see plenty of women I would like to get to date but I just can't approach because I don't know how to go about it. Sometime I feel a bit ashamed of how I look. Sometimes I may not be attractive enough to draw attention. One of the reason when I do talk to any women I never look at her. Hard to make eye contact.

Standing in the sideline admiring women as if from another planet...will leave you dateless. The guys you are getting your advice from isn't good.
You don't need to talk to only men about the subjects you list. Don't you read the paper?...have a life story or daily everyday experiences?....come on.... that's what a lot of people talk about.

Learn some social skills...You can't talk to a woman as a human about whatever is going on ? Why do you and the bad-advice guys you hang with think they're aliens you can't approach? Stop feeling sorry, shy, etc....and just strike up a conversation...no-brainer...really...it's that simple....Good Luck...
