Dear Dr. Romance: Why Can't I Spark the Interest of a Woman?
Dear Dr. Romance:
I read your Dr Romance Blog and a small paragraph on "10 Reasons to Dump a Guy." I'm trying to find out why I can't find a woman, or better put: why I cant I spark the interest of a woman? I'm 40 years old I was never married nor do I have kids. Its pretty dam aggravating. I haven't even had date in sense I was 16, and she was cross eyed and chewed tobacco and was on some kind of antidepressant. What's worst I seem to attract those types of woman, or some woman that's twice my age which I had that happened to me several times. I know you said to be positive, but why am I having such terrible luck? I read all the ten reasons mentioned in that article and it seems to me that article was telling its female readers that (Mr Perfect from God) exist and that just not true. I'm a fat guy to, but sense this problem of mine existed before I ever got fat, How I look can't be the only reason. Tell me what you think please.
Dear Reader:
I can't judge your appearance, but one of the problems of online sites is that they rely heavily on photos. If you're putting up a photo, is it a good one? I'm sure you can figure out how to get a woman interested in you. "The Fine Art of "Squirrel Hunting" and "Where is Love?" will give you some clues about what works. "10 Reasons for Not Falling in Love" will help you explore reasons you may be sabotaging yourself. It's important to get to know some women --- they're not going to flock to you just because you're there -- you need to learn to converse with them. You're attracting some women -- so something is working, you just don't seem to like the types you're attracting. Are there women you know that you could have a frank conversation with? If so, ask them to give you their honest feedback, and don't get mad, but think about what they're telling you. It could be a grooming issue, or lack of ability to carry on a conversation, or coming on too strong, or being too shy. It's not usually weight -- there are plenty of nice women who could deal with heaviness. From your letter, I'm guessing you
might sound angry to women you meet, which is a turnoff.
The Unofficial Guide to Dating Again will teach you how to meet women in many different situations and develop connections.
