I fit option 3 the most. The time I spent with a person in the past has not been defined to me really as a relationship (moreso a friend than anything). I also have only a few cluster of active friends, albeit this is by my own choosing as I feel awkward in social settings to a degree and...

To the original OPs question this might depend on the person you're targeting. For example if you're targeting someone who is really attractive and/or ougoing she's going to get a slew of people much like yourself messaging her. When she reviews her populated inbox she is likely going to be a...

Social networks like Facebook aren't meant to be a competition on who has the most friends or the most exciting (or loud). Just note what people post what they're willing to share and there are of course going to be people who tend to actually to be more active in life. There are also people who...

I'm connected to a dating site right now, but I hardly ever get responses back when I message people (I can't say I'm very eye pleasing and my profile might not appeal to everyone either). I've only met one person, since I've been affiliated with the site. I do think dating sites can work...

I'm glad you're confident about yourself, but are you being yourself? Based on your comments you sound like you've been given feedback to dress a certain way or behave a certain way. Do you feel comfortable in this shell? Maybe people are getting the vibe you are not behaving as your normal...

This just reminds me of the comparison tabloid celebrity shots found at the checkout line. I'm sure for the most part physical appearance-wise the models are very attractive. The premise of the shot to make them more "homely" could have been intentionally (the tired, stressed or non smiling...

Thanks for the share Estrios_Vega. I've been verbally referred to as "nice guy," but I think mostly in terms of my manner of speech and actions (the classification bugs me like crazy). As far as relationships go some of the points brought up do hit a little close to home as I could...

I've never had a girlfriend and I'm in my 30s, but I wasn't aware there was a requirement on when I'm suppose to get one. I've spent the beginning part of my life to focus on schooling and then building on my career (er... job now). In high school I thought by my mid 20s I was going to have a...

Thank you everyone.

I cannot speak for all scenarios and I do not know if you're referring to a relationship or friendship only, but finding a topic you are very passionate about can possibly help. In personal conversations when hit on a particular topic I am very animated. Alcohol might help entertain other...

Hi everyone. I've been a brief lurker on here and originally found the site when conducting a search on hikikomori (no I'm not one). I'm in my early 30s and live in California. I have a relatively stable job and do have family I'm very close to and people who I can call friends. As to why I'm...
