I have mixed success with women, and seems to come in bunches so I don't really know where I stand. I know this is not a very good picture, my hair is to long, I'm squinting or whatever and I have my collar popped I know I rarely wear those kind of shirts honestly. But I never picture well it kind of bugs me, I don't think I have one good picture. But at least this is a close up shot. So please just tell me what you think. If you want to be negative I don't really care. I am not looking for a confidence boost, or girls to drool over me. I just want to know what girls think when they look at me honestly. Thank you : )HELP me with this girl!!!?

i'm in my 20s and I'm getting really sick of being alone. It's not just having a gf but dating like every guy my age has already done. I feel I have missed out. I haven't been to a real date. Right now I'm a transfer student at a college and I haven't made any friends just acquaintances. I've been a nice guy but I haven't been extremely nice and I try to joke this semester. It maybe because I act awkward. I don't know. It's already been 9 weeks or so into the semester. That's a while already to not have gotten a date or have a friend here. I don't hink I have tried hard this semester. I try to feel out the conversation and be patient but i'm still dateless. I haven't asked any girls out on dates bu tyeah.Why do american men put up with american bitchy women when you can just go to Brasil, Aisa, Europe?

Should I trust a boy who's absolutely amazing to me..(an honest gentleman..) or should I just know that I need to watch myself and not fully give him my heart..?Is my boyfriend trying to tell me that I can't go to college?

My boyfriend went to a community college for one year and then transfered over to a state university that is 30 minutes away. I will be going to the same community college that he went to and then transfer to the same university he goes to. I'm basically doing the same thing as him. When he was driving me back to my house, I was telling him about how I'm going to college and will be going to the same university afterwards and he says "Nope, you can't transfer. You're not allowed to. You can't do that. You'll have to start everything over if you go to my university (he didn't have to start over when he went there! and you don't and he knows that) You can't go to that college." I can't remember what else he said but it sounded like he was totally discouraging me from going to college. Like he was trying to tell me that I can't go to school and trying to manipulate me into not going. Is my boyfriend trying to tell me that I can't go to college?
