Well, I've not been on here for a couple of months but have posted on this topic before. I've been internet dating since about august and with limited success. Just recently I went on two dates with this really nice girl who works in a hotel. She seems quite keen on me. I like her because...

Last night I had a girl round to my place for dinner. One thing led to another and we ended up in bed but to my horror of horrors I could not get it up! I kind of know why I had trouble. Firstly, there was the anxiety of the whole situation as it is a long time since I have been with a woman...

I'm just wondering because rather ironically my job involves a fair proportion of attending meetings and liaising with many different stakeholders to develop a solution acceptable to all. So obviously I need negotiation skills and the ability to chair meetings and make decisions. However, in...

...my crush on my former co-worker. Today I emailed her and she agreed to meet me for lunch in a park in central london. So we bought some lunch and sat and chatted for about an hour. It was fine but we mostly talked about work (not surprising because that's where we met). However, I know...

Well maybe I'm jumping the gun after just two weeks but things are not looking good. I registered with match.com and paid £65 ($130) for 6 months membership. My profile is certainly no worse than anyone elses'! For example, I spent lots of time on it putting down positive stuff I'm interested...

Hello everyone. Well tonight I went to meet this girl I used to work with a couple of years ago and we basically spent 5 hours in each others company. For a start I know exactly what my problem is: I don't flirt. As far as finding a girlfriend I have very little hope unless I can pluck up the...

Well last night I actually went out with some 'friends'. I put friends in commas because I don't quite consider them to be proper friends just yet. Probably borderline acquaintance / friend... Anyway, we went to this girl's birthday party and then moved onto this trendy bar full of...

I'm really struggling with this and when I ask I always get the same answer: "Join a club or society in your area". That's too generic and not much use unless you are interested in dance lessons! The problem I see is that most women meet guys at parties or while they are out drinking. It...

In my last year at college (in 2001) I lived with 6 girls in my halls of residence. They were probably the nearest I got to making any real friends but it is evident that I actually didn't. Since we left college I have seen them about 4 or 5 times in the last 7 years, and not for about 2 years...

Well not quite a date. It is just me and a girl and we're going to a comedy show and possibly to a noodle place beforehand. I say it's not a date because she has a boyfriend. They hav been going out for about 3 months. I've never met him as I only know the girl through work and have not been...

Last night I went to the pub with some work colleagues. After a few hours people broke of into groups and I was left with this girl I've known for a few years. She started asking loads of questions like why I don't have a girlfriend, why I don't do loads of stuff at the weekend, why don't I...

..I guess because the summer is here which tends to highlight how isolated I am. I left work today quite late this evening after most people had left to go meet friends somewhere. My isolation tends to hit home when I'm walking past crowded pubs with people enjoying the start of summer here in...

I am! In 7 days time to be precise. Basically this guy I have not seen for 5 years offered me a spare place on a skiing trip with him and about 6 others. He doesn't know the other 6 people either - he only met a couple of them at his new job during the last month. However, he is a very...

Anyone else think they are an easy target at work? I work in a small team of 6 where one of the guys is our manager who oversees everyone elses work. Most of the other guys are a bit older than me and have more experience (between 5-15 years older). This means they get to work more or less on...

..I'm sure I've said this before and many others also but.. ..I'm increasingly growing fed up with having to have shouting matches with drunk women in bars all my life. It seems that this is all London women want to do: get drunk in bars. I can't see myself getting anywhere in these...
