Hey everyone/anyone reading this. I first want to say, I know this is probably not the place for a post like this even though this is the off topic section. I just honestly felt I had no other place to go. It's pretty sad when an online gaming community becomes your place of consolation during hard times hahah - at least for me it is. Any, I've just been experiencing a rather common but challenging issue throughout my life. It's the only real challenge I've really ever been faced with. Before you read any further, let me notify you all that this is about to start sounding really cheesy. If you're not up for putting up with a pity party over something very superficial, just exit out of this thread, hahah. On the contrary, the cheesy-ness of this thread may make someone's day. Anyway, the challenge I've been face with is girls. I've always been fascinated by them; I've always found females intriguing and intricate. I admire them greatly and have a passion for them. The unfortuante thing about all this is that I tend to have the worst luck with them. I can't ever seem to find a female willing to share a relationship with me - something deeper than just friends. I have no problem making friends with females, I can do that all day with ease; however, when it comes to trying to engage in something more than friends, it's always a crash and burn. It's really become a huge problem for me. To put it in perspective, imagine something or someone you love absolutely, someone or something you'd never get bored of; a person or thing you would spend every moment of life with because they give you such pleasure. Imagine that thing or person always rejecting you and only ever willing to spend "adequate" time with you. That's my experience with females. I have such a passion for them, a passion not self-imposed, and yet I am continually turned down by them. It's very disheartening and causes me to wonder if I will ever have a chance in finding a mate. For those of you who have played with me in game, is there anything you can discern about my behavior that may be negative. Do I ever conduct myself in a disrespectful or immature manner? I ask this because I know that I behave in game the same way I do in public, and if I get negative feedback then I will have an idea of what to work on as far as my character goes. That is pretty much it. I've been searching all kinds of forums and chat rooms to discuss this issue with someone. I've had no luck as of late. I do not deny that this is a rather low move on my part, and I expect to get flamed on this thread. I just felt I would post this somewhere where maybe one person will take a look at it. In case I get lucky and someone can give me an idea of what's wrong with me. Thanks for reading. And any comment is appreciate.

Some starter questions and a few things...

1: How old are you? (And yes, it's important)

2: Where do you normally meet them and/or hang out at? I'm personally a huge fan of clubbing. I have friends that prefer lounges, some that prefer bars, and then again, I've met a ton of friends and a few ex gfs in school.

A key aspect that might be hurting you is that you seem to be friendzoning yourself. You need to make it known in some way or another that you are attracted to them. Once you establish yourself as friendzoned, it's almost impossible to break out of - They simply won't do anything. 

Another question is what are you looking for? Are you looking for a relationship? Or are you looking for .... (self censoring)?

If you are indeed looking to date someone, then don't put it out there like that. As I said earlier, let them know you're attracted to them. Strike up a conversation, hit on them a bit and plant seeds. Plant seeds everywhere since not all of them are going to grow. The more you plant the better your chances of success. 
(And by seeds, I mean drop those hints, hit on more than just one girl)

I am 19. I live in Germany, so you can imagine I go clubbing and bar hopping often. Just graduated high school over a month ago. Thanks for your reply. I'll try to keep all you've said in mind.

I've actually had the exact same problem with the exact same words. A little younger than you, but I just learned, after the crash and burn situation with 3 of my friends, I just stopped taking it seriously. I just hit on girls for fun now, and see what happens. 

Hitting on girls in clubs and bars aren't really my type. Maybe it's just not fun? I've never been in a club before, but from what I hear, I don't like it already.

Here's four golden rules if you like someone:

If you start liking them:
1) Don't think. Thinking = Overthinking. Overthinking = Fail.
2) Treat all girls as princesses. Keep Chivalry alive. Unless they're b1t*es, then just mess with em.
3) Don't break the bro code when a girl has a girlfriend 
4) Don't hesitate on talking to a girl. You only get once chance. 


I've learned #4 the hard way from the past week, and now I'm struggling to talk to this girl I like. #1 is pretty hard to do when you're in situtations like this. It's the rule I'm trying not to break right now.

Good luck.

Clubs are a good time if you give them a chance. But I'll leave that up to personal opinion. 
On the subject of #2: There is only so far that can take you. It's a double edged sword - You may be the biggest gentleman so to speak they have ever met - That being said, you run the risk of smothering or appearing too desperate or whipped. Others get upset when you even attempt to buy them drinks or pay for tickets to various things. I'd seriously say don't treat them like a princess; just treat them with the respect they deserve.
