I have had one night stands but never any girlfriends. Im home from the army working full time not alot of time dating. All my friends have moved away and have girlfriends or have families of there own. Im trying the online dating thing but not alot of hits on my profile. I dont have a picture on my profile cause im afraid one of my old friends might see it and laugh. Im very quiet and shy so i dont know what to do. I have tried everything possible I did the through friends asking, blind dates, and gone to bars and clubs I even did a dating show once and got turned down everywhere I go. I am starting to think some people are meant to be alone. I am about to just give up on love 24 and never had a girlfriend is pretty bad. Please just serious answers please.

well if you give up then you will never find her. she is out there somewhere just keep tryin. You will find a girl one day. if not get a pet and live alone.
oh yea and sometimes pleasant people are turned down. Picture this, ladies man falls in love with a girl. Hes never been turned down. Hes plesant and nice. She laughs at him. They do turn down nic ones. Even if you are turned down the odds of it lasting a long time and being real love are slim, thats a once twice in a lifetime deal. You just havent found the right girl yet.
so i really wander what do u think when u got turned down everywhere – that this is their own fault? and that they re dumb to turn u down? or maybe u re trying to figure out why everybody turn u down? cos believe me, nice, pleasant people never get turned down. they re greatly appreciated and welcome everywhere. so it is not that u “re meant to be alone”, it is that u suck as a man and as a companion and as a friend. i think 24 is not that late to sit and contemplate on your life and what is it in you that makes people turn u down. when u improve yourself people will appreciate your company and welcome u every where. and for a little help visit http://www.sosuave.com and read article “why just not to be yourself”. i think u will get what i mean after
I think “giving up” would be a horrible idea as it is clear that being alone really bothers you. I too had trouble with dating (I am very shy) and eventually tried online dating. In the beginning that got me nowhere but over time I started to work things out and I am now happily married to a woman I met online. I kept track of my dating pretty closely and created a guide that might be helpful: http://www.littleredrails.com/blog/table...
My contact information is listed at the site as well and I would be more than happy to share anything about my experiences if you had more questions.
A few other thoughts. First, put your picture up. Having your friends laugh at you once hurts much less than being alone (trust me). Also, if anyone gives you advice that says who you are is the problem, I can promise you that they have no idea what they are talking about. Everything I read when I was trying to figure dating out basically said that my shyness was the problem yet later I found success even though I continued to be quiet and shy. Being shy and being in a relationship are not mutually exclusive.
Best of luck and don’t give up!
