Too picky, or am I unlucky?

Its kind of hard to say since there isn't a guaranteed way to get someone to like you right away. The more meaningful relationships usually take a while to start, so don't get discouraged. Just take your time to get to know someone and maybe you can interest them in some of the things you like if they aren't already into them.

@Megitsune I kind of get what you mean... When I date someone, they have my attention, and I usually try to make them feel special, do stuff with them I wouldn't normally do... within reason. As much as I like someone, I'm not currently in a sound enough mind for me to go jumping out of a plane for a skydiving lesson. @Fatalis I understand... Thank you for the kind words. Honestly, I wish I had more friends. It'd be nice, really. People who want to talk to me, and those who in turn I want to talk to them.

@Muffin* Well, I do offer being nice as standard. It's just who I am... I mean, I slip and let my anger out sometimes, but it's usually because I bottle what I have to keep the other person happy. I do like to write poetry, and actually hand write letters, not just the easy email. I offer something with a little more substance. I also love cooking for someone I date, because it feels nice and it's already relaxing when I do so.

In my experience, when you are true to yourself then people respond. You don't even need to worry about being a gentleman or being nice. Just be you. You are perfect as you are and if some people can't accept you then they can suck it. Haha.

I've said this before on other topics, you just work on yourself. Don't do things that you dont want to do just to please the other person. That line you said about bottling things up just to keep the other person happy, THATS AWFUL. You can only do that for so long and all you are creating is a false face for the other person to fall in love with. You have to be yourself. Now being a nice guy is not enough, its great dont get me wrong but theres so many people out there who are nice off the bat. 1. Dont feel entitled. (Oh IM NICE SO THEY HAVE TO LIKE ME) 2. Dont give up 3. Dont try hard (Who cares anyway man, watch some anime, play some games, if a girl comes along great. DONT SWEAT IT) 4. Maintain yourself. (Most girls like guys who look well-kept. Examples. Have your own sense of style, groom yourself, work out if you feel like it) 5. Have something to bring to the table. Thats it I tried too hard. Im supposed to only deliver one liners and maybe a gif on this website
