Be completely honest, how do I come across in first impressions? I'm having no luck at all at the moment with "the ladies" and I'm wondering if maybe I just come across completely wrong, normally they can't avoid me quickly enough. I've even tried dating sites and if I'm lucky I'll get a coupe of messages back from them then they just vanish completely and ignore me.

I know I'm not brad pitt, but I can't be THAT bad surely? Any ideas from anyone are welcome, if you think something that sounds harsh, by all means voice it because I just don't know what to do but to be quite honest, I'm getting a little bored of being on my own now frown

Just be yourself, you will meet someone. Just dont make it obvious that you are looking. Women can read men very easily, if you act at all desperate, they can sense it a mile off.

As they all say, you will meet someone when you least expect it.

.

Almost exactly what I was going to say....plus, don't be worried to speak to women but don't overdo it (and by talk,I mean listen!). Get yourself in situations where you can meet plenty, don't act flash and be a gentleman! (Easier done if you are one to start with!) .....Finally, don't underestimate the power of the internets...simples whistle

Dude, we have met but I am also of the male species and it was at a huge gathering of cars so naturally the subject turned to our four wheeled friends. Thus I cannot comment on you sexual magnetism. You come across as a decent sort of bloke with a reasonably (twisted) sense of humour. Just keep hunting!

Alternatively if you have a
sister, you could both move to Norfolk wink

I don't think I've met you, but first impressions are that you work in IT and drive a Rover. Experience tells me you need to make up for one of those things. I have a friend who works in IT and drives a Rover and he was single for years biglaugh

You know what, you're probably not wide of the mark loser

Having said that, to look at it another way, I work in a growth industry in a managerial position, and own both an executive coupé and a race car - this is from now on how I'll put it across tongue out

Actually I had no music on. I was sat in the dark in my house in silence.

No seriously, I was listening to the new prodigy album and fighting my cat for control of the sofa.

Being in IT doesn't make you less attractive to women, and unless you rock up to a group of girls in your Rover with Cascada blasting out the radio, then they are not gonna know what car you drive...

To be honest, what job you do and what car you drive are not gonna come up in conversation when you first speak to someone, and unless your ice breaker is "what version of Linux do you like", then you should be able to get past the first sentance.

Your dress sense does say alot about you, and women notice that - so unless you look like your mum still dresses you, or you don't own an iron, then all's good.

If all else fails - I know enough bars in Pompey that will guarantee you carnal knowledge of the opposite sex for a couple of bottles of WKD (not for me...them wink )

I agree with Matt...But at the same time, what we speak to you about isn't necessarily what you speak to a lovely lady about. So it's hard to judge from that perspective unless you attempt to flirt with one of us (Which I'm sure Matt will welcome).

Gut feeling is...You'll be fine yes

Dude, we should go out for a beer in Gos Vegas. I know some fairly slutty girls I can introduce you to.
