I have been single since eternity. Here are my excuses.
- I had some opportunities during uni, but I was too stressed and busy with my course to take any any action
- I have graduated now, the environment is completely different.
- I am a quiet guy, introvert (this is not a confidence issue, I just have a quiet temperament)
- I have a niche personality - I have been described as 'enigmatic', 'thoughtful' and 'deep'
- I hate bars and clubs, and any sort of loud places - I have bad hearing AND my voice is low - it's very hard to communicate
- I don't understand how dating 'works' due to my lack of experience
- I have a high responsibility job and I am usually too tired at the end of the day to smile at strangers or make an effort
- Despite logically knowing that I have a lot to offer, my emotions/mind thinks otherwise
- Online dating NEVER works - far too much competition. I get some attention in public but these are in situations which are not suitable for approach (e.g. in the tube, etc)
- I don't know where to meet other young people that doesn't revolve around drinking or clubbing. I have tried meetup.com events but the attendees to stuff I like usually aren't my age
Everything else in my life is going fine. Dating is just the only thing that seems eternally hopeless, and I know it's my fault but I don't know how to fix it. Any advice?
Also, if there are any women (at least 20+) who are willing to be my dating mentor, I would appreciate it, I just need someone to get insights from and talk to
