    You sound like a great guy. There are so many single wonderful women out there. I tend to give women advice on where to go to meet a man so why not give you the same. First off, what hobbies do you like or activities? You are going to want to find a woman with similar interests. If you are in good shape a co-ed gym is a start. If you like to read, a book store like Chapters is great. Spot the woman that catches your eye, look at the section she is in(maybe she is in the cook book section) and ask if she can suggest a great cook book for say... maybe your mom(it's a gift). If you like to hike go to a sporting goods store and do the same thing...asking a question gets you out of being cheesy to a girl and has a great conversation starter. Even a grocery store is great ...ask where something is or what a great brand would be to buy in that section. Once a conversation is struck you could ask if she has advice in how to use the item in cooking to have a better effect, introduce yourself and ask if she lives in the area. If she is receptive, tell her maybe you will run into her again  and see where the conversation goes.Hold eye contact with her, a woman likes confidence in a man. Don't be afraid to be friendly but careful not to be too aggressive. Trust me from a single woman, there are a lot of strange men out there and we women become very aware of that. When you walk away don't be afraid to turn around and look again to let her know you think she is attractive.Use this tactic as practice to get over your shyness, in fact the more you do this the easier it will get. Eventually you will connect with someone you don't want to walk away from. Best of luck to you.

    thanks you very much. You seem like a kind caring person. I like to exercise and go to the gym. I also suffer with social anxiety. Iam trying to face my fears and do new things. You gave me great advise on how to approach a woman and not be to aggresive. Maybe iam to peaky on woman. Most of the woman i like have a boyfriend and the ones ive dated are overweight and iam not attracted to them. I just havent found the right person. I also think woman like tough or a confident man. I haveto build my self esteem and be confedent. Well thank again for the advise. I wouldnt know what to do with a woman maybe i should stay single and avoid relationship problems?

    Take Social skills class at a community college. Also do some Volunteer work where you live.Since you are going to church, tell your pastor or priest about your problem and I am sure he can advice you in some way. You will meet someone you like once your social skills improve. It will take time .

    Go to a church singles group . Or join a political group. Or join a civic minded group called Civitans. They have chapters all over the world. The way to talk to a woman or a man, is to ask them about themselves and their kids,and their job ,or whatever turns them on.  Say things like '' How did your daughter's dance lesson go ? ''   or, '' How are your classes going ? ''

    What about online dating sites like match.com or eharmony?


    It's worth a shot.


     

    You've come to the right place.  akaQA or also known as Quite Actionable has many women here.  The trick is to make it through the first 48 hours.  After that it's all down hill.


    In the mean time, are you good with your hands?


     

    I can't believe you last had a girlfriend when you were 12years old. You sound like you're not shy. You said you were good looking and fit. Sounds like you've got tickets hanging all over you. What about work? Can't you find one there?

    THANKS FOR THE ADVISE. I TRIED AT WORK AND MOST WOMEN THAT I LIKE ARE MARRIED. I ALSO STRUGGLE WITH SOCIAL ANXIETY AND DONT GET OUT AS MUCH AS I SHOULD. I GO TO CHURCH BUT HAVENT HAD ANY LUCK. WELL THANKS AGAIN

    Find a likely candidate and just ask her point blank if she says no find another candidate and ask her . The thing is is not to think about it just ask and if they say no move on to the next one and so on.Also remember it isn't what they look like ( although it helps) it's who they  are as looks can wear off pretty fast whereas personallity doesn't try the local social clubs not the Churches and don't fret if it's meant to be it will if it isn't it wont carryon Sir and good luck .

    FISH-O

    A likely candidate? I can't help but smile...that is very cute.

    i think you should pray...and start off doin small things out of your comfort zone, then just get bigger. but remember to be yourself. if a girl doesn't like who you really are then she isn't the right one. and someone will come soon.
