Hi there i came across this forum and i was hoping I could get a little hand here with my problem.
My name is Jackie. I am 27 years old and I work as a engineer. Currently I am 3 years single and in this 3 years I have tried to find a right partner with the future in mind me turning 30 soon. So I am going to be dead honest with my problem. My social skills with picking up women are terrible. I know what to do, what to say, how to act but i can't make the move to actually start a conservation with strangers. It just feels awkward to me and I am not comfortable in doing that, it's like some fear. I am a good looking guy and I get tons of attention from women, but well that's not good enough to get me anywhere without talking. And my second problem where to find a decent women considering my situation. Let me explain.
I did a lot of internet dating. Because it was just more comfortable for me. I tried internet dating for 2 years and still got me no where. I really believe internet dating is a waste of time for me considering the countless conversations and contacts I had. I just have bad experience with it and it tends to have a lot of problem individuals.
I go a lot to clubs. Yes they are full with good looking women. But the age usually around 18-22 it's just too young for me and to be honest I don't see a lot of decent well educated women in clubs. And hey if I do i don't speak to them either, great! I also visit a lot of festivals but I counter my social problem here once again.
My social life is very limited, I actually only have one friend. I have a couple relatives besides that, that's it. So not much help here either. In our office everyone is married. So nu luck there either. I also visit the gym a couple times a week, no success either.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated
