AI Thread Summary
Social anxiety complicates dating, especially for those who find themselves approached by attractive women but struggle to form meaningful connections. The original poster expresses frustration over a recent experience with a girl they like, who seems to be more interested in setting them up with her friend. This highlights a common issue: the need for clear communication of romantic intentions. Many contributors emphasize the importance of being direct when asking someone out, suggesting that ambiguity can lead to misunderstandings about interest.The discussion also touches on the perception that attractive individuals may be seen as players, which can create barriers in forming genuine relationships. Participants recommend strategies for meeting like-minded women, such as engaging in hobbies, attending social events, and utilizing platforms like Meetup.com. They advise against relying solely on online dating, citing mixed experiences, and encourage expanding social circles to increase chances of meeting compatible partners.Overall, the conversation underscores the significance of confidence, clear communication, and pursuing interests that align with personal values to foster more fulfilling relationships.

Pretty sure I've been rejected 999 times. Got a great one now...no risk, no reward.
I highly doubt that and I'm pretty sure you do to.

Be a man...step up. There's reallly no nice way to say it.
I used to think like this then I started to read some of Mark Mason articles and began to understand why things like: ""be a man", "step it up", "confront your fears head on" do not work. I'm not going to explain everything since it is already nicely explained by him. The line in the above quote does not work for a lot of men trust me buddy. If you do not believe go do some research online you'll be amazed what you read there.

Stick with the friend zone for a while too. Long relationships tend to come from patience...quick relationships come from...well, being fast.
I see now how much I've grown. The above quote is also wrong. I've seen it countless of times go wrong and slowly began to understand that once your friendzoned it is virtually impossible to get out since attraction is very important and once you're dismissed you're pretty much dismissed for life. Again if you do not believe do some reasearch.

It is fascinating to see how many myths are still ingrained in peoples heads I wish people would do some more research (theoretical and practical) and find out how things really work.

I think psparky's right.

If you've checked out, it's like sending the signal, "Don't talk to me, I don't want to meet you." That won't work, because no sane person is going to "force" themselves on someone has has shut down.

How do you expect to meet a good match, if you refuse to meet anyone?

I've found that chewing on lawn gnomes is a great way to meet women.

Remember too that woman have the same fears and axieties of men. They are also fearful of rejection, they get embarrased, they can also be afraid to make the first move. Women laugh and cry, they watch movies, they play sports, they have hopes and dreams, they want to party, etc...etc. Women are the same as men except men have a penis and women have a vagina...and maybe they "occasionally" have a few extra emotions. (clearly, we need to go back to basics here)

So just go up to a woman and start just like you would talking to a guy. "Hey, how you doin...how's it goin?...are you new here too?"

In fact when my current girlfriend approached me at a meetup a while back, those were her exact words. She was actually just looking for a friend at the time and I was in a "2 year dating stretch of absolute crappola." She friend-zoned me for 4 months till I broke thru. Hell...forty years ago Mom used to say "Friends first...".

Give yourself a goal...tell yourself that you need to go to at least one new place a week, and talk to at least 2 new women...or something like that. Pretty sure things will start happening.

Like Morgan Freeman said in Shawshank Redemption..."either get busy livin, or get busy dyin".
