I was told that I was too nice. People told me I shouldn't be a door mat. But everyone is different and has different tastes. I'm just a nice guy and I try to be courtious to women. What's wrong with that?

Ok, thanks everyone!

I've only managed to get into a conversation with once girl since I've been here. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.

What's the best way to write your first message? Or should I just do a mutual match instead of a message? Or something else. What's the best way to start talking to a girl?

I definately agree. I spen the entire summer needing one and got no where. But I've come to terms with it, and wanting one makes things much easier for me and my date.

I have depression, it stems from my social anxiety. I think the depression is what really kills you. I'm on meds for it now.

Thanks! Yeah I wish I had some more descent pics. I'll try to post some more, thanks!

Can you rate my profile please. I've never been good at putting them together. Thanks!

Thank you everyone! I must say this is the biggest welcome I've ever gotten on a forum!

I've been here for a while but I never really got into the community here. But I'd like to now, so hi!

I normally wouldn't tell anyone that but I'm sick of hiding everything. I have social anxiety so I am very shy and I get nervous in social situations. But I'm finally working on it, I wish I had done it years ago. Never had a girlfriend and never dated before this year. I only started dating this year. I had my first date ever in June. So I'm pretty far behind everyone. Well, things are going slowly, but I'm much better than I was!

Anyway I just thought it was about time I introduced myself.

Yup, I live in RI too!
