How Do You Meet People to Date?

Question by Hamlet_89: How do you meet people to date?
I’m 21 years old in college, and I haven’t had a girlfriend in 5 years. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, because no one seems to be remotely interested in me at all. It’s either that I’m not attractive, or my personality is sub-par. I’m really not sure.
Here’s my profile:
5 11
blue eyes
tall,
normal weight (use to be athletic, but college happened lol)
sense of humor
Open personality (somewhat liberal)
Ambitious (I want to be a surgeon, and I have the grades and scores to get there)
Nice (I seldom get mad at anyone, and I’m good at resolving conflicts)
artistic (photographer, and violin player in my university’s orchestra)
Pragmatic
Smart…maybe just above average lol

Potential problems:
I tend to spend a lot of time working, whether it be tutoring, doing research, managing a student organization, or studying for my classes. I do leave time for myself though, so I’m not antisocial.
My social life isn’t ideal, I have a few friends, but they’re not really good friends, and I don’t really like some of them. I’m also a little shy, especially around a girl that I like, and I have low self confidence even though I’m trying to work on it. After years of never seeing that anyone is interested in me, my self confidence has inadvertently declined. As petty as this sounds, very few girls give me a hug. Typically girls are usually hugging everyone as friends, but with me they just wave, or greet me in a normal way. I don’t get it. Is this a sign that I am inexplicably unappealing? I’m very clean, and I always wear clean and pressed clothes…so it’s not that. I probably am wearing a “*&^) off sign” on my head and I don’t realize it.

My question is, how do you meet someone to date? What sorts of things do you do to find someone to go out with? How do you tell if someone is interested? I don’t hang out at bars, and I don’t drink.

Answer by Star Danser [Saffire Version]
Maybe they think you’re self-centered. I can understand how they feel, considering you spent about 90% of this question talking about yourself.
How about, instead, you talk about what you can offer a potential girlfriend, how you would make her happy, and what kind of girl you’d like? That way you aren’t talking about yourself so much.
