As much as I hate to admit this (and will not do it pubically where people know me)... here it goes.....
I never dated in high school... was never even asked out. I'm not hideously ugly or anything. I'm no Miss America either. Just an average looking all american girl. I have lived in the same town for 18 years and pretty much graduated w/ the same people I went to kindergarten with. I was always quiet and shy. I didn't wear makeup or dress up. Not really a tomboy, but not a girly-girl either. Another thing is I've always been told that I'm one of the "marrying-type" girls. When guys get to the age where they are looking for marriage, i"m the type of girl they will be looking for. However, when they are just looking to go out and have a little fun, they date other girls.
My first year of college I met a few people. Some guys who flirted but I was oblivious to it at the time, so they didn't think I was interested. I was always super nervous around guys, b/c i was scared I would flirt w/ them and they wouldn't like me or would already have a gf and then I would look like an @ss.
Finally last summer I gave the online dating thing a try (ok, feel like a total loser admitting that). I met an awesome guy who went to my college. Tall, Dark, Handsome, muscular, a total hottie who definitely did not need to meet people online, but he was tired of going to bars or other places and only meeting girls interested in one-nighters. He was my first date ever, He was my first kiss. I also gave him the v-card the night of my first kiss
(boy, do I regret that decision). Anyway, he was looking to really get settled down (and get married) when he graduated in December. I was just starting my sophomore year, so needless to say, that didn't work out.
The one thing I like about dating online is you know the other person is at least a little bit interested in you before you meet face to face.
After dating him, I became much more confident and outgoing with guys. I have been on dates with a few guys sice then and I have seriously dated one other guy. He was 25.... like I said, I attract the ones wanting to get married.
Just put yourself out there, build some confidence and ask the girls out. You might just be surprised at the girls who accept!
