| romantic talk is not necessary on a dating site to get a date. in fact, it would be fake, as you cannot possibly have any romantic feelings to a person you have never met. if you think enough time has passed for her to feel like she knows you and that it's safe to meet you, just ask her, "i had a go... |

| I neither understand (nor like the tone of) many of the remarks in this thread, which are an attack on the person as opposed to an attack on her work, her ethics or her credibility. However, the whole Cassandra thing seems to be motivated by the creation of a monopoly enterprise based on charging p... |

| They all sound like good suggestions. My personal issue with learning to be more successful socially is that it still exhausts me to interact with people and I think that is a neurological thing and not easy to change. I have been interested in CBT. Can you give examples of what kinds of issues it ... |

Now, I only check email, and work full time, go to school full time, go to meetups, play team games, pool at my college, even gone on dates with four girls, one wanted to take me home, and got a se... |

So if you got a date within say a year of joining the group, would you be willing to put some time and effort and just approach it as work? Imagine the tremendous boost to your self esteem when you go on a date and have fun.
Analyzing sucks. Learn skills by doing. |

Pick one thing and I will try to think of what would have worked for me when I was 13 years old. I liked video games, was better than average in math, very good in science, lonely and isolate... |

He likes a wide range of all kinds of music 2. he plays the trumpet (but doesn't practice, so he must not like it that much) 3. He is amazingly good a... |

| Facebook date request is logical, but NTs are not logical. Many NTs get intimidated by unexpected Facebook messages. A message can be interpreted in many ways and often girls automatically interpret the message as "creepy", "stalking", or "weird". Facebook is not a dating site. If you want, you can ... |

| It is good to experiment. It is better to ask in real life though - more effective. For example, say, Hi how are you? blah blah blah. What are you doing this weekend? I am going to see this movie and I have nobody to go with. Let me know if you are interested. something of this sort. |
