Short story of my life:
Still a virgin at 26. I was on this site a few years back. Tried doing the AA program to lose my virginity. I was told that cold approaching wasn't a good idea for me and I needed to try online dating. I don't feel like I have a lot of social anxiety but everyone has social anxiety to some degree right? I was also told that maybe my looks aren't good enough, which may be true.
Anyway, I've really tried following the advice on this site and on other places but I can't seem to get past this barrier of trying to get laid through online dating. I have an extremely hard time getting replies or matches. If I do get a reply or match, I can't get a follow up reply or I get unmatched very easily. I don't think I'm necessarily saying something wrong, just doing what every other guy does. It seems like as soon as I push for the meetup is when the ghosting happens.
It's the same pattern that I've had with girls in real life. I can't even get girls to go on dates with me. Even simple stuff like coffee or froyo.
So what do I do at this point? It just seems so fucked and I can't seem to get out of this rut. Please help. I'm tired of being alone my whole life and missing out.
