<p>Okay, so I feel a bit creepy saying that I looked at a few of OP’s old posts to see if he ever mentioned any of his qualities, hobbies, personality, etc. All I saw was moping, complaining, and distress about never having a girlfriend so “late” in life. Then he says there’s no time for a gf because of constant studying, that most girls are ugly, most girls are unavailable, blahblahblah… excuses!!</p>
<p>This sounds like a bad case of self-pity for which the only cure is some lovin’. So, here is my sincere advice for thermo1:</p>
<h1>1) Stop making excuses. If you don’t “have time” for a gf, then don’t look for one and don’t complain. Simple. There has never been a deadline for getting a date.</h1>
<h1>2) And if you do have time, then what are you NOT doing right? If this is really that important to you, then maybe you can sacrifice something else.</h1>
<h1>3) Don’t base your self-esteem on the sole luxury of having a girlfriend or date. I’m not saying that you are, I’m just saying that you shouldn’t. You sound extremely intelligent and hard-working, which is fantastic and something to be proud of.</h1>
<h1>4) What have you been waiting for??? Once you get over the ‘time’ issue, it’s all up to you to make a move. Girlfriends don’t appear magically, it starts with making dates. Maybe start friendly conversations with single “ugly” or “fat” girls, and then ask one out for lunch, a movie, or even a walk…anything!! Just get experience talking to girls, making friends with them, seeing which personalities you like/dislike. But I must warn you!! Proceed with caution… because you may actually start liking one of them!!! -omg Gasp die-</h1>
<p>All joking aside, it’s always going to be up to you to initiate. No matter how many times you ask the internet for advice, we could be blue in the face with suggestions, if you don’t do anything, nothing will happen. Hint: most single girls don’t bite, but don’t be pushy.</p>
<p>So log off, get out of your chair and away from computers, and spend your time normally dedicated to complaining on the internet to actually working towards a date. I know I sound snarky and blunt in this [rather long] post, but you really really need to help yourself before anything we say can help. I wish you the best of luck and the greatest amount of courage to ask a girl out! Let us know how it goes.</p>
