I need a girlfriend. am i normal?

So OK, my wife died a few years ago. It wasn't a great marriage, but the only one I ever had. After a year, I tried on-line dating; I joined social organizations with eligible females. But nothing worked.

Women just don't want to be my girlfriend. They will date me once or twice, but then they dump me. Probably only gotten laid two or three times in the last six years.

What should I do?

You are a hopeless loser and all women know it. Give up and watch TV. 4
Goto social events, stay in the shadows. Female losers hate losers 6
Don't be dumb. Hire prostitutes. 10
Travel the world by yourself. You are wasting time. 27
Other, please comment. 12
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Well I'm separated and to be rather honest, for me personally, I'm at a stage where I'm just putting relationships on the back burner.

    However, I see you're a step ahead of me, you're now on the hunt for a life partner. My suggestion to you is ask these women, what stopped them from proceeding further in the relationship? What could you do to improve yourself?

      Great advise, very ballsy, but direct and to the point. One cannot fix a problem without first knowing what that problem is!

    See a therapist to work through your personal issues. You may still be grieving even if you're unaware of it. I'm willing to bet that you're saying or doing something to turn off the women you've been dating, and that you're completely unaware of what you're doing.

    I'm sorry for your loss, but if you're walking around with too much baggage it's going to overwhelm most people. Also you shouldn't be in such a hurry to get laid, because you need to get to know someone first. When you say you "need" someone it comes off like you're trying to replace your late wife even she wasn't perfect. No one wants to just be a surrogate!

    Get some professional help and work on your issues.

    • Thanks for the advice, but actually I am trying to avoid non-sexual type women that were like my wife. And, I find something to enjoy about each woman I meet. Just can't get past date number two.

        Taking one's time to get to know someone well doesn't mean non-sexual. My current partner and I waited nearly three months, but now we have a healthy, active sex life. I just prefer to wait til I get to know someone, and I also don't want to let sex cloud my judgment as far as compatibility is concerned.

        If you can't get past date number two maybe there's something that you are either doing or not doing that's turning them off, and it could very well be something of which you're entirely unaware. Are you talking a lot about the past? A date is neither a therapist's couch nor is it a confessional. I'm not actively trying to accuse you of anything, but sometimes when people have been through a lot emotionally they tend to open up too much and too quickly with perspective partners which could very well overwhelm and frighten off those perspective partners.

    Dude, condolences. Firstly, the comments that the women are making are standard female bullshit. If you had any potential with women you would know it by now. Based on your problems with sexual attraction, your marriage was probably a break even deal. Your wife was probably an excellent business partner, but bad in the sack. She probably only banged you once a month and she fantasized about other women while she was getting humped.

    I say cut your losses. Women are generally very predatory. It takes years of social learning to handle them. The women you could get involved with at this point, will only make your life miserable. Travel the world by yourself, and be happy that you at least had something worth while in your life.

    Make her laugh.

    It's surprising how easily the ice breaks between two people once a joke is exchanged (even I fall victim to it; by time I'm aware of it I'm already laughing and my guard is down lol); however, this method may not work on all women depending on sense of humor, intelligence (i.e. If you like clever jokes), and the situation. Also, making jokes will not guaranteed you a long-term girlfriend, it's more like breaking the tension between a potential one night stand or starting a Friends with Benefits kind of thing.

    Lastly, just smell nice and be well groomed. You don't have to be hairless, but if you like having a beard, then make sure it's nicely trimmed and clean. You don't have to dress fancy, just wear something you're comfortable in and (again) clean. The reason I say this is because women are afraid of getting abducted, raped, or murdered; if you look sketchy and dirty, we'll get scared and assume you're homeless or worse.

    • This is good advice. Really good advice. Perhaps comedy lessons would help.

    If you need a gf the only answer is to keep trying.

      Wrong-o, my wayward filly. If he needs a girlfriend, he can just rent one.

          Exactamundo, little sister. A temporary good time without any drama, head games, and ignorant games young girls play. It makes a lot of sense. Someday, you'll have a broader perspective and see the dynamics.

            A temp fix is not a gf. Reading comprehension... its a thing.

              Yes, reading comprehension. "...if you purchase the gfe its temporary". Again I say exactamundo. GFEs have happy shallow dynamics, and the girl gets money; how sweet is that?. I think your reading comprehension is limited to romanticized novels. Get out there and play with different kind of guys. You will learn much from the school of life.
