I've have had no luck with online dating. I literally get no replies back from women on these dating sites. I'm just gonna give up altogether.
Personality: INTJ
“Greatness, at any cost.”
I know this is kind of a cliche but do not try so hard and it will fix itself. I had a period when I was trying hard as hell to try and meet someone. When I gave up and just stopped bothering it came naturally.
Firstly I genuinely feel your pain. I have spent most of my youth dreaming over various crushes or wishing that I could find the happiness I longed for, feeling a fool for when things don't work out as I'd hoped.
I found I did not trust online dating sites myself, I think that is something that you would need to have a good think through and understand that whilst there are loads out there who would indeed use them for a laugh or to be cruel, I am sure that there are some people on there who are genuine. If this is something that you would be interested in then there would be no harm in trying so long as you keep that level-headed expectation of them.
I've only had one 'significant other' in my life and he was the best thing that ever happened to me. How did this shy, awkward lump of a woman meet her knight? We found each other on WoW - I joined a Guild and he was an Officer there, we got talking and that was it. We were together for 7 years and was the best time of my life.
I only say that because I want you to understand that when things are ready to happen for you, they will. I wasn't looking for anyone at the time and the 'beauty' of something online like WoW for a socially awkward person like myself, is that you can be you without any physical social barriers getting in the way.
The only thing I can add, whether it helps or not I'm not sure, is to enjoy your life. Enjoy your time whether it be online, in clubs or parties and although I understand how hard it can be, don't look for something, let it just happen naturally. Be yourself and above all be honest. There is nothing worse than a relationship based on lies.
nothing wrong with online dating. I actually met my wife on okcupid. I wasn't even actively searching, in fact i was going to delete the account that week, and she was just there for the questions comparing to her friends and they made her contact me.
The trick to meeting people is making yourself available to them. That means going out places you enjoy where there are the type of people you want to meet, and also making yourself available to meet new people online. trying new things, doing activities you enjoy can help a lot. hell, sign up for a class to learn something you've always wanted to learn, good way to meet someone. Make new friends, they might have a friend or take you somewhere where you'll meet someone. just increase your odds while doing things that are good for you.
Online dating isn't that bad of an option. I've dated a couple girls from there and it worked out fine.
Otherwise your best option would be to join clubs for activities that you enjoy. If they're there too, chances are you have a few things in common already. You don't have to outright ask them out right away if you don't feel comfortable. Maybe just ask them to hang out. Then you can play your cards from there.
Those who talk don't know. And those who know don't talk.
Sometimes good things happen when we are not even ready. If so,be natural. Try to be social. Life is unpredictable, you can go alone to the cinema and after movie you might find a person to date with. I totally don't recommend some online way to find right person. It's not the same. Some real life awkwardness might be the best way how to start things.
Online dating is the way to go. I found my wife (been married only about a year and a half now but were together for a few years first) on eHarmony and I can imagine no better match for me.
I would also recommend lowering any physical standards you may have. Physical beauty is pretty worthless and often (not always) the ones that are very good looking have terrible personalities and are high maintenance. Regardless, if you are in love the simple truth is that you wont care what they look like when the lights go out .

Tinder is god. Me and most of my friends have either just hooked up or gotten in a long-term relationship from there. It's pretty easy because you only get to talk to people who have liked you so you just have to hope that you two can connect mentaly. Even if you don't really hit it off with some women there then theres hundreds of more on there.
IDK where to start. Just be confident. Be yourself. DOn't be afraid to talk to everyone. Hell I've had gfs I met at the grocery store, gym, class, wherever! Online dating is good too but don't act like all the other guys saying hey or other boring BS. Don't be afraid to ask for #'s no matter where or how you meet them. What is the worse they say, no? But most importantly focus on yourself. Workout, education and or solid career, etc. Become a chick magnet

Once I lost my virginity I lost my urge to have a girlfriend
Now I don't even care, masturbating or fucking a pocket pussy literally feels better to me
Wanna talk about difficulties meeting someone, can we talk about my difficulties in finding relevance in a relationship
I found more opportunities when I stopped searching so damn hard. There's a good quote/poem somewhere about happiness being a butterfly that says this much better than I.
Focus on what you love. Maybe you'll get lucky and find someone to share/convert to that.
I think the most important thing is to make sure you are happy with who you are, before you start looking for something to compliment (as in pair well) you.
