Rule number 18147: girls usually don't want to date again so soon after a relationship ended- at least not just anyone. But exceptions happen.

I think being friends for now is a good thing. If she happens to be actually interested in you romantically, she might change her mind during that time, but if she doesn't, at least you two had a great time.

P.S.: Pro tip: Don't be too pushy about your interest in her. If she said no, accept that until she changes her mind out of her own will- because trying to convince a girl into dating you after she dumped you once is a no-no. Talking from the girl's side: It's hella awkward. And can be annoying if you're extremely persistent. Speaking from experience here.

If women don't find you handsome, hope they at least find you handy.

Ive pretty much told myself this, and but its good to hear from someone else.

Personality have been in the dumps for the last day or two. I will be turning 25 soon and I still feel like any girls are never into to me. With every girl I find, they turn me down, end up being a fake (on online dating websites), back stab me or I just become a friend only. I've experienced nothing but rejection. I've read articles and articles on how to be confident, what women want, and how to be a man. I'm a nice guy and I do like nerdy stuff, but that's how I'm. I don't act odd or strange around other people. I act normal, but yet no one ever wants to like me. I can be emotional than most men, but I'm not a cry baby that cries at everything. People tell me that I'm more aware of my emotions in a realistic way than most people and it's not a bad thing.

Girls just want the bad boys or the gangster type of people. I feel like the people that like the stuff that I like are hard to come by and are already taken. I also have aspergers and I feel like no like me because of it. I talk, think and walk like a normal person. No one could tell if I told them. It's not like I'm like "Hey I have aspergers!!!". I would love to be with someone that understands me, someone has something in common with me and can like me no matter what. Even if they know if I have aspergers that they can like and love me.

Sometimes I feel is loneliness, and sometimes I just want cut off from my own humanity. I fear that I will be lone for the rest of my life. I do wonder if it is better off dying young or living alone for the rest of your life. You could say "You will find someone". What if you did find that special someone, but they are always taken by someone else when you get the chance. I feel like that my life is over :cry.

I know that feel bro. Sometimes I wish betrothals and matchmakers were still a thing. Sure those have their own issues, but when you're this niche in your interests and not particularly outgoing or social enough to "play the game" you end up feeling desperate.

Still, there is virtue to the single life as there is to the coupled life. It's just harder to notice.

They still do exist. They're called mothers and fathers. :lolol

One, in the milieu of Western society instead of some remote village in the Sichuan Province, betrothals and matchmakers don't really exist anymore.

B, my parents don't know anyone with lonely single daughters into the stuff I'm in to. I'm an anomaly to them as it is, most of my family and family's friends are all rugged sportsman or craftsmen-types.

And Γ, are you just trying to be clever? :lol

Sorry for you predicament in relationships. I'm in the same boat.... sort of. And maybe I was trying to be clever. Never know.

I would've assumed that while statistically your singles pool is smaller, it was easier to meet single gay guys because that singles pool is smaller and those in the pool would be more active in making their availability known whereas in a straight singles pool, which is much larger, it's more passive because folks bank on the size of the thing and cosmic RNGs.

Then again I'm not gay so I don't know what the gay dating scene is like. I barely know what the straight dating scene is like.

I'm an anomaly because according to a lot of people I don't come across as gay at times. (How this is possible I have no clue.) Also I'm a nerd so even other gay people find it as a stigma. And I'm not very attractive. So yeah....
