I've already done that. I went back to college a few years ago to try to finish up my Psychology degree, but that's been put on hold indefinitely. I can't pass the Algebra class I need, as well as the Geometry, Trig, Pre Calc, and Calc classes I need but will never use. I have a learning disorder which makes math extremely difficult for me because I just don't understand it. I have taken the same Algebra class 3 times and failed it every time because I just don't understand it, and I even had all kinds of extra help outside of class with it. I got perfect grades in everything else. I took a vocational class to become a Nursing Assistant, and I've had a job doing that for over a year and I love it.
Wow, you're the first person I've met on here that has had the exact same issue as me. I had to take Algebra 3 times and the best grade I got the last time was a C- I think. I was diagnosed with a math disorder.
It just takes me a whoooooole lot longer to understand the concepts compared to everyone else. I did fine with all the basic math up until Algebra 1, then the remaining math after that has been nothing but a disaster and deep embarrassment for me.
Sorry that was a bit off topic with the thread but I got excited.
Anyway, OP, on topic, maybe you should just focus on getting out and socializing in different groups and clubs of your interest without specifically LOOKING for someone to date. Just get out there and have fun, and make friends, and the more you get out and live life, and smile, and be carefree, and let the wind blow through your hair as you laugh uncontrollably at the heavens - Someone will come along.
Finchel_Gleek, I have some off topic questions related to the math thing for you. Would you mind if I PM'd you (or you PM me?) whichever..
Sure. Go for it.

I know this sounds kind of disturbing (since I'm mentioning fetishes >.<), but there are lots of men who have fetishes for overweight women and think they're gorgeous. Places like DeviantArt.com show what I mean. And I'm not just talking about overweight; I'm talking about morbidly obese--any shape and size. From very skinny, muscular, to overweight. It doesn't seem to matter there. Don't beat yourself down. Lots of people find men and women with weight attractive. Sorry for the randomness. There are places where every type of woman is found beautiful, for one thing or another. There are also BBW (or Big But Beautiful) dating websites where lots of men are searching for those types of ladies. I hope this helps you a little.

I don't think you are in the right state of mind to be asking others to rate yourself. I think you need a hug.
Me, too.
For what it's worth, though, you have cute hair and I like your glasses. Also, just because MyFutureSelfnMe goes after twigs, it doesn't mean everyone does.
I think Face Of Boo might be on to something with asking about what type of guys you usually look for, though. I think that a lot of the time, it's all about context. I know from experience that it's easy to start feeling badly about yourself when you're trying to fit a mold for someone else that's an awkward size or shape. But, if you can find the right person, who cares about you as you are, it is a wonderful thing.
You mentioned you liked this guy because you thought you'd had shared experiences and you'd understand each other? Maybe you could look for someone else who'd also have those types of shared experiences? Surely they can't be anything unique unto this guy. I mean, I'm sure he's special and all, but he can't be that special.

Hi Finchel_Gleek, if you don't know me already, I can tell you in brief that I am the WP's bluntest jerk, ask smudge about me for example, she'll tell you.
Ok, my first question: What do your target guys look/sound like in general?
I remember you said in the other thread he's in his twenties and extremely cute. How handsome he is? what's his career? Is he popular among girls? Is he sociable?
You might think that the reasons behind the serial rejections you're getting are intangible things like social skills or AS or whatever, but believe me, most of the rejections' reasons are more superficial that you might think.

Most of the guys I go for are just your average, guy next door types. They're usually kind of shy, as is the case with this one.
"People next door types" can be hot looking, can be obese, can be fugly..... can you be more specific? are they tall, fit and such like? You probably just mean they're not models but that doesn't necessarily mean they're average looking.
The problem is not in their shyness, recall what type they are and you might find out a pattern.

As far as his profession goes, he is in college studying Art. He works in the kitchen at work as a server. As far as looks go, he is about 6'2", skinny, and has brown hair and brown eyes.
Is that a next door type too?
IDK, I guess he's just average, but he's hot to me.

Not really. This is a small town. Everybody knows everybody here. About the only social places around here are bars, and I'm not much into the bar scene, mainly because I don't drink, and it just doesn't seem to me like a bar would be a good place somebody worthwhile, although I'm sure it's happened. That pretty much leaves me with work, the library, or church. Of course I have tried work. I have also hung out at the library, but have never really met anybody there. My church is big, and that's how I met my ex, but it's still hard to meet people there unless somebody you know wants to introduce you to somebody else. I've had coworkers, friends, and family say that they know guys who they want to introduce me to and I agree to it, but it never happens. Why ask me to meet somebody if you're not actually gonna introduce me to them? I just don't understand why it's so hard to meet people, much less get at least one date more than once every 5 years.
