Does anyone actually get into a relationship easily?
Does anyone actually get into a relationship by just looking at a stranger across a room or is that just in the movies? I'm not sure if it's because I'm ugly or it's just the way it is for everyone in England, but nobody ever looks at me in public. How do most people get into relationships?

It’s pretty easy if you’re very attractive, the lucky few tend to have a queue of people waiting in hope of them becoming single again. For everyone else it is pretty had work with a lot of effort to market yourself
It seems like nobody ever makes eye contact in England though, especially London?
It's so strange that there's around 8 billion people on the planet and yet it is such hard work to find a partner.

What would you say are the best ways I should try to find a girlfriend? I've not had any success in the past and it's making me feel really down about myself.

The problem is that we live in weird times where making eye contact for a prolonged period of time could be seen as rude, aggressive or creepy. The big debate is how long is ok for good eye contact.
Also Londoners differ, there are some who would briefly make eye contact and smile while others would simply blank you.
Also, females probably don't want to send the wrong signal hence avoid eye contact. I went to Yorkshire and there were loads of people smiling and making good eye contact.

If you are female, you should be able to secure a lad. Just go out to bars and smile/be polite. A good spot is Wetherspoons or All Bar One. Good luck
Kind of. I can find people to date easily, but it's because I'm confident enough to just ask someone on a date rather than playing subtle.

Learning from set backs, learning from more successful friends, playing to strengths and doing what you can on any weaknesses, practice flirting widely. But more than anything, keeping a bit of self confidence and having lots of tenacity and patience. With this something good comes along
Some people do.
It depends on their habits, ambitions, appearance, dealbreakers, social circle and confidence.
Not just looks or income level.
Some of the very horrid felon scumbags have very active dating lives.
Despite the fact that they have very unpleasant habits, highly dysfunctional lifestyles, no accomodation or history of employment and no desire to ever earn an honest living.

Kind of yes to the first.
I literally bumped into a guy at work when he realised I was behind him and unexpectedly pushed a door back open to let me through. We had our first 2 dates four days later and he's now my long-term boyfriend.

How did this happen? For me, when I hold a door open for someone, at the most I get a "thank you" and even that isn't guaranteed.

I feel you
I wonder the same too... How do people just start... dating? Like I have a crush on someone but how do I know they like me back (or notices me) at all? How do you know there's a mutual attraction and not just you fantasising about nothing?Original post by Anonymous

We thought we recognised each other, so we talked about where we'd worked and eventually sussed out he'd visited somewhere I'd been based several years before; weird thing is we don't actually remember seeing each other and never had any direct interaction then, so I don't know why we made such a strong impression on each other. First date was a 12 mile run, second was a very long dinner and it went from there.
We had just our jobs in common (military), no shared hobbies, quite different characters, so I don't know why it works, but it does.
