Am I too boring and weird to date?

A male United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Lately I've been thinking about future relationships and stuff, and it's just hit me that even if I did get a girlfriend, I would have no idea what to do with her.

I do not like the bar or club scene at all. I cannot and do not like to dance and the thought of hanging out at some bar drinking until 3 am seems boring to me. I also do not like over-crowded places or people in general when they get drunk.

Here's what I do:

Wake up

Go to classes (if I have any that day)

Go to work (if I'm working that day)

Go to the gym (if it's a workout day)

Browse several forums and websites for a few hours

Play games for a bit

Sleep

Repeat

+ Go out with friends once every few weeks.

Am I too boring and weird to ever get a girlfriend?

Honestly, that is a pretty normal looking schedule for your age group, especially if work and classes take up a lot of your time.

It doesn't necessarily mean you are boring or weird, but if you are concerned, you could add a few more things into your routine to keep things interesting. One way that I personally found to be great is joining a sports team, because it brings you into contact with lots of new people, practice fills in your week, and lots of socialising opportunities come up.

The important thing is you can still be an interesting, engaging person to talk to and potentially date, even if you do spend a lot of time just at work, school, and on the computer. Keep up with current events, read books, go watch movies, eat out at different places, do random, fun activities so that when you do find yourself meeting people, you will have plenty of things to talk about and keep the conversation going.

(there is nothing wrong with finding the club scene boring, lots of people feel the same way as you, the point is not to try force yourself to like it, but to find activities you do enjoy instead)

Good luck with everything, stay positive and open to opportunities! :)

Frankly, what you described would be a very boring lifestyle. Its ok, that you don't drink, many girls don't , but spend hours on line and playing games is very boring. Also, you've out with friends only every few weeks? Really? I am twice your age , and I see different friends almost every week, but at your age I was out few times a week.

What about hobbies? Do you like outdoors, like hiking, beach, biking? There are also concerts, movies.

There are plenty of boring, wierd girlfriends to be had.

However, I'd suggest spending less time on the computer and playing games. It's not a a healthy alternative to real life, and there are plenty of things to do that can help you grow as a person.

Playing with electronic devices for multiple hours a day is the same as watching TV for that long... It's like you're just waiting out the clock instead of living your life.
