Subject: Do you help or have you ever helped somebody in dating?

Written By: deadrockstar on 07/12/06 at 12:32 pm

I'm frustrated as hell from my lack of success in the dating world and I've tried time after time after time to get some help from my brother, my uncle, my dad, it seems like noone I know is willing to help.  They just don't seem to care and I'm getting sick of it.

I wanted to know if this is how people are in general or if my family/friends(well, actually just family I don't have any friends here) are such Aholes.  :\'(

All of my family have been very helpful with me and still are. My cousin David has always been a fountain of wisdom for me.


Thats good.

I don't know why no one in my family will help.  I can't even get them to TALK to me about it, they just change the subject as quickly as possible and/or give me a variant of "don't worry about it". ::)

There are some people you don't want help from in this department!  :-X

What kind of help?  You want them to set you up with a blind date?  Or you want advice?  Can we help?

True, but the three people I mentioned(my dad, my uncle, and my brother) are all good at it so I don't understand why they refuse to help.

Setting me up on a blind date would be nice, or just setting me up with somebody period.  Advice too.


Can we help?


I hope so, but theres probably not too much you guys can do being on the internet.

I wish there were some local personals, but the paper doesn't have them.

I'm thinking about going to the local strip club because its probably the closest I can get to any action.  Its  18+ not 21+ so I can get in.. i know you just get to look at the dancers and all it does is get you hard up but damn I am anyway.  At least I can see some boob if I go there.

If I "set someone up", I try to be careful about it. I don't set people up, just to set them up. Just because I know a single guy and a single girl (or visa-versa), doesn't mean that it will work. I usually try to get a sense about people, what they are looking for in a relationship and if I see some commonality there, I just may try to set them up. But, I do it in a certain way. I will introduce them to each other and then whatever step they decide to take is up to them. Even though I may feel that two people are right for each other, they just may not have any chemestry together. In high school, my then boyfriend and I set his brother up with a friend of mine. To this day, they are still married.

Having said that, I haven't really used the dating sites much yet. I've registered, but am still hesitating taking the next step...


They're a total waste of time unless you're willing/able to pay money for a membership.

Have you really tried many online dating sites? Is this speaking from experience?


I've tried literally somewhere in the ballpark of 15-20 different sites, and ALL of them have free membership which allows you to search but not do much else.  You have to buy a premium membership to send messages and things of that sort.

Yeah I'm aware of that, have you ever took that step and bought 'premium' membership to send messages? Do ppl really have much success? It struck me as a bit of a rip-off the first time I saw how much they were charging.


It seems like a rip-off to me too.  Most places charge something like 20 dollars a month, or over a hundred for a 6-month membership.  No way am I going to pay money like that for a service that cannot be garaunted to work for you.  Besides, I really don't have the money.

I don't take a lot of stock in dating services. Of course the thing is when you stop looking, that is when you will find someone. There are always chat rooms/message boards that do not cost but who knows who/what you will find in them. You have to be careful. There is also another place where I have known people who met and eventually got married-Pogo.com. It is a gaming site. You can play games, chat with people and for the most part it is free (but they have an "excusive" club that you have to pay for-I never did). I also know that yahoo has groups-I don't know if they have a singles group or not (not something that sought out).

For off-line, going to school is a great place to meet people. Churches, social clubs, volunteer services, even working on a political campaign you can meet people. Bars are the WORSE place to meet anyone.

Try Nerve.com.  It's a different kind of site and their pay structure (at least last time I was there) is different.  You purchase a certain amount of points and then use a point for each time you send a message to someone -- something like that.  I don't think it's too expensive.  Forgot about places like EHarmony -- WAY too expensive and you might not wind up with any dates anyway.

However you're feeling, try to keep your communications sounding positive.  Desperation and pessimism scare people.

Someone you know (a friend, co-worker, family member) sets you up on a date with someone you don't know.  Hence why it's called a "blind" date; you've never seen the guy/girl before.

I didn't have much luck at school.  I'm just so shy I can't approach people at all.  I didn't make friends either.

I don't really participate in any of that kind of stuff which probably doesn't help but there aren't any activities like that around here that interest me really.  I swear to god this town is like the f*cking arm pit of America.

The only local dating service is Christian. ::)



However you're feeling, try to keep your communications sounding positive.  Desperation and pessimism scare people.


Yeah, I know.  Its just hard to keep from it, at least for me in my situation.


This is just a theory, but they might not want to take you along on their "adventures" because they are afraid you may be relegated to wingman status.  This is not to slight you in any way, but it does happen.  I have played wingman for my friends many a time, but that was voluntary...your family may be afraid that you may become the wingman subconsciously.



What do you mean, like they want me to learn on my own?


This, if it's true, is why any method anyone suggests won't work.

you need to find a way of feeling comfortable just chatting to females, getting to know them as people rather than potential bed mates.  Do an evening class or join a social group where you will have something in common with everyone going.  Then you can widen your circle of friends and go out as a group with no presssures.


This sounds pretty good but theres not really anything like that around here.  Not anything that would interest me anyway.

I guess I could pretend to be a Christian and try that local dating service.

There must be something!  A cookery class, language lessons, exercise group, swimming classes, flower arranging, photgraphy, car maintenance, a political action group, charity work, scouting, music group.  What about work (I've forgotten if you work or not but I think you don't and are waiting to go to college?)  there are plenty of jobs out there where you could be working with people a similar age to you that get together outside of work for a beer or two (or whatever those underage do)


I really can't think of anything.

Here in a few weeks i'll start working part time for my dad.  Hes a residential painting contractor.  Its not the type of job where I'll be working with people my own age of course, but I've really got to take it.  My dad needs some extra help, and I can make more money doing that than at any other kinda job I could get.

I dunno, I guess I'm purely at the mercy of luck.  And mine is not so good. :P

I'll be taking some classes again in the fall, thats the only thing that could possibly work but it didn't last time.  I guess shy guys are doomed to be alone, its not f*cking fair.  Chicks can just wait on somebody to ask them out.  Why do we have to do the asking?

I think you need to start by seeing women as people and potential friends first of all.  I really don't get the impression that you do from the posts I've read from you on this topic before.  You mainly come across as something who thinks that you can hang around and a women will just ask you to jump into bed with her.  It doesn't work like that at all.

I just googled tyler texas and found a few pages.  this one seems to have links to some organisations that you might like to join

http://www.cityoftyler.org/Default.aspx?tabid=32

also this one

http://www.tylerbicycleclub.com/

And another list of organisations in the area

http://www.volunteermatch.org/bymsa/m8640/c/org1.html


I'm aware of all those, its just that none of them peak my interest.


  Honstly..?  At least act disinterested.  The women most likely to respond to my charms respond as such because the charms aren't directed at them.  As long as you're slathering platitudes and witticisms unto them, a certain part of every person's need for security and attention is fulfilled...

  Consider going out for drinks with several of your friends.  If you continue to balance your conversation 'twixt all of your associates, the charm will become apparent, and perhaps desired.  If you're just giving it away to one person, what need has that person to make any effort?  As shallow as it sounds, I've discovered that women will, in some cases, pursue a viable charm merely because they aren't the focus of it.  Let me disclaim, though, that in relation to my own personality, these are generally not women on my "committed" list.  I'm all up for a good lay, mind you, but I just can't figure out the nature of the one-night stand.  Apparently you have to lie about your name, or something, because it truly does become an emotional mess for at least one party, and usually both.  I've rejected the notion of the one-nighter because I've never successfully pulled it off.  The best I've managed is a 1-week affair; the worst a five-year relationship in which we both continually made each other miserable.

  So what will happen is that a woman will approach in an attempt to get to know the person behind that flashing charm; if you both happen to be genuine people at that moment, the potential is limitless....

  I have never "successfully" accomplished what I have just described (botched one-nighters, yeah, those were real).  But the whole point is that two people who put up fronts to impress each other are invariably disappointed in each other.  "Be yourself", as the cliche goes, but for heaven's sake, don't aim it at the object of your desire exclusively...


I never got the "just be yourself" thing. I don't see how I can be more any more than I already am. :D

I always get some variation of JBY on this topic.

I think that the reason your male relatives won't help you out with dating is that they don't want you to be disappointed and take it out on them if it doesn't work out.

Don't you live near enough to Dallas to go there? People have said this before, but...you could do a cooking class, since that is your interest.

What ARE you interested in?  If Tyler doesn't offer it, try a nearby town.  If you don't get out and do SOMETHING, you can't really expect to meet anyone.  I don't mean that to sound harsh, but if you're just sitting at home, unless someone who is visiting happens to bring a friend, you're not likely to meet anyone.


I wish somebody I knew would fix me up with somebody.  There are only 3 people to ask really, and I know none of them know anybody.

I'm going to be taking classes in the fall again, but I didn't meet anybody there last semester. 

So I'm really at a loss to solve this problem.

My best advice for men is LEARN HOW TO DANCE. Women love guys who are not afraid to go out on the dance floor. And personally, I think waltzing is one of most romantic dance. So guys, if you want to sweep women off their feel, waltz with them. (It worked for me.  ;) )

Okay, here's what I used to do before I was married (this doesn't include the random times I decided to hook up with chicks on the internet though :D )

I went out with friends.  Usually to places with lots of people around.  Also, usually in an environment where you can be active, not so much just walking around with a beer in your hand.

We went around, milled around, talked to people.  Discussed who was hot and who was not.  Migrated over to hot, stayed away from not.

Now, my definitions of "hot" are different from yours, so it's up to you to decide, but my friends and I would start talking to my particular "hot" girl and then they would gradually go off and do their own thing while I was left talking to random hot girl.  This has several possibilities:

1.  You find out that hot girl is married/engaged/lesbian/doesn't like you/you don't like her and move on (or you just made a friend, which ain't bad);

2.  You get invited to another party/venue where you just increased your chances of meeting more hot girls;

Btw, that one poster was correct in surmising that your family possibly doesn't want to help you because they're afraid you won't implement their advice correctly or something.  This is similar to what I meant by the "wingman" comment.  They don't want you to flame out and become a wallflower while they do all the talking, and they might be afraid that when they let you do the talking you crash and burn.

Best thing to do is to initiate the conversation yourself, then keep asking questions to find out more about the person you could be potentially interested in, and go from there.

A quick look at this reveals it is full of the standard claptrap.  Some examples after perusing the front page for no more than 10 seconds :

Everything from the best ways to apply cologne... to which ones you should buy. Learn how to use it right for maximum response from women.  ::)

What are pheromones? Learn everthing about them and why they are important if you want to seduce and attract women. Get any women in the mood!

Yes, it's the famous Player's Rulebook! Follow these rules and you'll attract and seduce women like a pro. Pick up women by learning the do's and dont's

I wasn't a "player".  I was just thrusting myself into situations where I could maximize success, success being a phone number and an official first date.  Is that not what he is looking for?  Because a "player" goes for the easy kill and one-night stands. 

He's gotta start somewhere, why not do something with a history of success?  And even if he tries something similar to what I suggested, there's no guarantee he'll bat 1.000, but at least he isn't sitting at home wondering what could have been.

Unfortunately there are a lack of under 21 clubs around here.  A club would just seem easier because its more expected for you to chat her up there than at some random place like the grocery store or at the mall.  Cold approaches in places like that call for more experience than I've got.

Well, I don't where colonge myself... I don't like the smell of it and I've still had a couple of occasions where girls showed some type of interest in me(ones that I didn't even know).

But I seem to get more attention from bi/gay men. I can't figure out why... mainly because I'm not gay/bi myself. I think a minor reason for the lack of interest lately could be that people out on the street think I'm gay, one of my co-workers told me that her husband thinks I'm gay. What should I do about this crap?

This happened the last time I brought it up, where someone asked what type of colonge I wear(which my answer: none, but they never replied back to it, so I wasn't sure if they read it or not).

Nothing in that category either, let's see...

Hobbies: video games, music, song and parody writing, game idea thinking, anime & manga and guitar playing. Those things are enjoyed by both men and women as far as I can tell(at least most of them).

What I don't have an interest in hobby wise is: cars and sports(playing or watching). The only game I actually enjoy that's similiar to a sport is bowling and I rarely play that.

I don't go out to bars and clubs either.

Someone could be spreading rumors about me, but considering how private I tend to be in public(I don't trust anyone in my neighborhood and I don't hang out with them), I don't who would.

I'm sorry if I sound abit sensitive about this.

There's nothing wrong with being sensitive about it.  I wouldn't like someone telling others I was a lesbian if I wasn't.  Maybe if you got out more and associated with the opposite sex, that might help?  Do you have any friends that might be able to set you up with someone?

That would be an interesting place to meet someone. My parents met at a doctor's party as they both worked at hospitals and both somehow knew the same doctor.

Ah yes.  I met...more than one boyfriend through community theater.  ;)  In fact, I think just about everyone I ever did theater with ended up meeting someone there who they dated at least for awhile.  Great idea.

Band. Social activities and clubs are a great way to meet people with like interests.


Yeah, a cooking class or community theater might be good places for me.  However the thing is I have to a)have the time and b)the transportation.  I'm going to be going back to school in the fall, and I'll be working with my father.  I currently don't have my own vehicle either so I guess I can't do these things right now.

In the meantime I guess I'll have to accept the situation staying unchanged.  I don't see what else I can do.  I'm not outgoing enough to meet girls at college, and you don't really interact enough with other students in class to get acquainted with anyone at all.

It got lost in the mess, eh?  ;)  Hold on...

So he said:

Don't they have something called mixers for singles?

Then to encourage him to try new things, I said:

I have heard of the "speed dating" thing and also gatherings for singles.  Speed dating basically works as like a series of three-minutes-or-less interviews between potential datees...the guy asks the girl questions and vice versa, they answer each other, decide whether or not to switch numbers, and move on.  I actually think this is a lazy way to date, but if you have the time and think of it as going into a candy store and getting samples before deciding on which one to buy (which is a pretty shallow analogy but that's essentially what this thing is) you can give it a go.  The singles gatherings are sometimes broadcast on radio stations, so keep an ear open and find out where and when it is...the age bracket is also important, I'm not sure how big you are into dating 40-year-olds Wink  I do know some really cool 40-year-old women though.

If you're not having luck doing it the hit-and-miss way, these methods will somewhat increase your odds of success just because of the sheer quantity of choices in one place at one time.

I met my first and second girlfriends while in college.  Not as cool as my wife though Wink
