Well I'm 29 and have never been in any form of a relationship. At all. Not even a single date. As far as I know no women have ever been interested in me.

I'm seen as a really nice guy. There's nothing I wouldn't do for family and friends. I am an old fashioned sort of guy, and I respect women. I have plenty of female friends, some of whom I work with and am particularly close to. I like to pop in to work when I'm not not even rostered on and give them breaks and make sure they have breakfast/lunch, etc.

Not having a relationship is not from a lack of trying. Anyway, I thought I'd check my luck out on dating sites, as I was sure I'd be able to find at least ONE person from those sites. The answer was no. I ended up with hundreds of rejections

The last site I used, saw some progress. I ended up chatting with a girl, but it didn't end up going anywhere. Turns out that she was just looking for a nice guy to talk to. The others that I chatted to, thought may have been going somewhere, they ended up telling me that they just wanted to be friends, despite them actively searching for a relationship on the site.

Is it normal? Am I friendship only material? I'm so over being single, and don't know who to turn to, or what to do next. I've tried pretty much almost everything short of ordering a mail order bride.

    You need to be more upfront. AKA sexual

    if you act like a friend, you're gonna get treated like one.

    Dont online date (its so lame). instead pick up women at bars, clubs, supermarkets and the like.
    (do not wank for like 2 weeks beforehand)

    Trust me it's better

    i feel bad for ya man. because if you dont procreate, your genes will die!!!

    you sound like me in the future. I strayed from online dating for the same exact reason you gave up on them. Fuck, good luck man. Really though, work has only ever been close to a relationship in my life. Being unemployed is like being in the wake of a 5 year relationship.

    Wish i had another half (person) to help me balance it, but i am severely picky though (i think you can relate?)

    You could suck me off on our first date. Wouldn't that be nice?

    Maybe talk to the people you have progressed with slightly and get feedback from them. It might be hard to hear, but they can tell you why they didn't see a relationship working between the two of you.

      LOOOL what a typical women comment.

      asking a women for feedback is complete BS.

      most girls will try and fluff talk thier rejection instead of being honest.
