So, I have posted here before, and, in reading these former posts, I feel pretty pathetic. Anyways, now that I have matured in the last year or so, I, once again, need the advice of my fellow damned lovers.
To begin with, I have a pretty low self esteem, even though I don't let it show. I find that whenever I meet a girl I think is cute, and I'd like to date her, either I find an excuse about something that is wrong with me, or she simply shoots me down and goes for some other guy, who, in my opinion, is not that great of a guy and he acts childish.
I'm sort of that "nice guy" when it comes to talking to girls, but it's because I actually do care about them, but that somehow always puts me in the friendzone, or as a backup date. The last girl I'd had feelings for, went for a bad-boy after shooting me down, and she had something like a 1-2 week fling with him.
I usually try to be funny, sincere, friendly, and talkative when I'm around girls, and I subtly flirt, but it's more light. I don't think the problem lies in the fact that I'm unattractive, because I've been told I'm about an 8-9/10, and I stay fit and keep up with hygiene.
I'm not sure if it's just that there are few girls I know who fit my criteria, or that I'm just not boyfriend material.
So, ladies, what do you look for in a guy? If possible, I'd like specific yes's and no's, rather than the general stuff. Guys, how would you say I go about asking out girls? Should I make a change in how I talk to girls?
Finally, some background info about me. I'm a professional videogame player during the summers, I'm about to finish grade 10, I'm usually top of my class, I love socializing, but not in a "high school party" setting where there are drugs and alcohol, and I'm more about relationships than hook-ups.
I look forward to your responses!
Sincerely,
Matthew
