Help catching up with dating

Question - (25 November 2013) 2 Answers - (Newest, 26 November 2013)
A male United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

My dad recently passed, and we were never close, never heard his take on gitls, dating in general. Where things like this easily could've been picked up in school(I didn't even go to a college where you live on campus, maybe I would've grown there), but anytime it seemed that I expressed interest in wanting to get advice or w/e about dating, girls, I never liked their suggestions because they were never anything good. At the least I thought I could get some help then but it never happened. I've been struggling on my own now ever since, some days I'll get lucky and get a phone number or give mine out, but I'm either never called or I don't make much of an impact that they don't remember who I am texting them a day, two later. It's just hard I don't want to miss out, it's just going to be difficult, hard this holiday season. I like to, would like to try new things, experience moments in my life with a kind loving girl. To share memories, good bad. One new thing would be too give her a Christmas present, or even to have her want to do something spontaneous; to live in the moment. Just wish that confidence felt more safe, natural, not so burdensome to me, I'm lucky if I'm even able to say hi, how are you!" Then I don't know what else to say.

What if anything can be done, what can I say/do as an ice breaker question, it's just so hard for me a lot of the times.

Yeah, I've tried dating profiles and that just bummed me out more. Working out a dating profile, sending messages and everything. Then I find out they have to be subscribed users in order to respond back. Then I'll end up seeing one of those girls out in the real world with sum guy, pushing a baby stroller, or knocked up. Idk anymore I'm just tempted to just stay home anymore I think I'm good looking, but idk about successful. Just seems like girls are just ready to settle down, and I feel left out for my lack of experience or w/e.

You truly seem like the most adorably awesome guy. And that may be the issue. You're too perfect of a gentleman. I'm lesbian but if I were straight I would so date you and if I knew u I'd introduce you into some chics. Make friends with girls and do the whole dating profile thing. Improve something about yourself. Maybe how you dress or how well you speak and with more confidence. If you're relatively attractive and successful then I'm baffled. For now though just make friends and see where things go.
