I'm twenty and a guy and haven't dated before what's there to know about it?

My friends all though I was wierd throughout middle and highschool because I literally coulden't talk to girls who I found attractive. I'd try but no sound would come out of my moulth lol. As of recently with the help of a few of my friends I've practiced flirting without losing my voice but the only problem remains is that my social group is very small and all ther girls are taken so I came here. Any advice for a dating newbie?

Just get yourself out there, that's all.
No one knows anything about the opposite sex, so you're in the right place.

Oh wait a minute!...
you do have to pay for everything, sorry.

I did learn that recently.

First off welcome to the forums. Have you joined eHarmony yet?

I know that dating can be intimidating, certainly when one is out of practice or never really did it before. The best advice though is to go out and be yourself and meet women that like you the way you are.

So I am not sure what kind of advice you are looking for. You stress the difficulty of talking to women, my problem was never not being able to talk to ladies but rather being able to say things that amused them without them thinking I was too much of a dork. I quickly learned, if a woman wasn't amused or interested in what I had to say she wasn't the right woman for me. I have since met someone who does find me interesting and amusing and so can you. You just have to get over the shyness. You can do this by taking risks that you would never take before.

Next time you are at a grocery store and have a female checker, talk to her, small talk with the opposite sex when you have no intention of taking things into a relationship can be a great way to overcome any fears of conversing with women.

If you haven't yet joined eHarmony, I would suggest it. What eHarmony will provide you is the opportunity to be matched with people who are likely to be very similar to you, with that said it gives you a platform for guided communication to get to know someone and come up with conversation ideas before you engage in open communication. It can be a frustrating process or it can be a very exciting process, it depends on what you make of it. Either way, eHarmony is designed for people who want to meet a partner.

As for dating advice, always be yourself. There are hundreds of date ideas what I won't get into, but remember let things take a natural flow and all will be well.

I hope my advice helps, and if you are any questions, feel free to ask. You can browse the forums and find hundreds of other threads on numerous topics related to dating which may help you.

As always, best wishes and good luck to you. I am sure you will find a nice partner and you can go from there.

Not that hard at all...just get one of those Hot Wheels ones...carry it around with ya all the time...walk up to a girl, ask if she wants to see your Porsche, then pull it out of your pocket!

You know, I am kidding, but I did actually do something similar once.
