Should I even try dating?

A long time ago I got frustrated with dating and decided that I wouldn't even consider it unless a woman asked me out first.


Besides, I had a lot to keep me busy. There was lots of schooling --

1. Is it strange that a guy could go through most of his adult life without any woman thinking he is attractive? I dont think that is the case at all....Just because a women doesnt approach you would not make you an unattractive person at all....Sounds like you suffer from low selfestem and you seem to be a bit to harsh on yourself...How do you expect anyone to love you when you dont seem to love yourself?...


2. Should I attempt dating since Natural Selection already seems to have judged me "too ugly" to date? Yes...you seem to be very accomplished and intellegent...Why dont you put yourself out there...I think for the most part a man or women can kind of tell within the first few moments if that person is interested..If you see they are then go for it!!!You really need to stop calling yourself names...Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...What might be beautiful or attractive to me could be something different to someone else...Attraction is more than just looks..Its personailty too...!!


3. If I date, and if (a really big if) things progress, how do I broach the subject of my inexperience, or should I just lie?Never lie...Always be honest...And why dont you just let things happen naturally...I think first you should really work on you and boosting your selfesteem...I think once you do that you could become more comfortable in your own skin.
