hi, does no.2 approach requires you to be a regular member? as in constantly visiting her work place?

2 days per week is good enough for me. Also dont just sit there and stare/look at her. Go have some light talk with her.

I see.. my plan was to straight up walk to her and strike a convo on the first visit.
I also find it way more successful to approach in a friendlier way instead of straightforward complimenting her and asking her out.

Whatever method is most comfortable and natural to you, just do it.

I went talk to her if she free. If the 45minutes i am there she is busy, i will just walk away like any of her customers. Soon she realises me and will smile. I also will smile politely but also not like too desperate to talk to her. Only when she is free, so she wont feel stress.

If u wan something, go grab it. No point using the reason shy..think about it.

Well update here guys...

Gave TanTan a 2nd go, and I picked up the courage to just send a voice message. I didn't put much of hope on it,, but heck did get some replies and conversation flowing with 2 girls. Well well...

But of cuz I'm not limited to just TanTan, dug out one ex-colleague's insta and we also went on a roll.

Thanks for all the encouragement guys.

Being single is better than matching with a wrong one.

Take your time. Find the right one. It might come. I've always thought myself to be single too forever(late 20's now) . Then suddenly it just happened I got someone from my social circle haha.

Somethings just unexplainable sometimes.

Yeah, I'm 25 and single. So.. Anyone else have this feeling where, the older you go, the more the scary thought of "Oh, I will never find a date / gf / cuz I'm not getting any younger". That thought seriously scares me.

I've tried Tinder, Tan Tan, and so far thats the only 2 I tried. How does dating even works these days??

I need tips. And no, simply walking up to a girl its like a creeper move.

Ppl keep telling me, "you're still young, you're still young". Erm... I'm only as young as my age. And let's face it, the older guys go, the harder it is to find. Especially in this day and age. Dating used to be so simple. Now dating apps are just filled with attention seeking insta models. I swear, I swiped more lefts than rights.

You like someone. Approach, ask phone no. Followup by messages. Ball of steel mode.

And dont do those online dating stuff. Watch out for ladies physically, ask for no right away.

Right in the face yes, like cold call. But you need to hunt for the number first. Choose what you want, type of look that you ok with.

Even stewerdess I can do this easily, ask name wherefrom etc. International flight, not Malaysia ok.

first, i still think that 25+ men are more attractive

also, with age, people stop being insanely passionate and don't look for relationships just for the sake of...relationships, you know?
you are entering the age when people like each other because of behavior and personality, not because their photos on insta

i would say - let it go?
and not because you're still young, but because that's how universe works - when you stop seeking something so eagerly and start concentrating on your personality and idk some kind of self-development or anything - good things start coming to you as if you're a magnet for them

i tell you what. Simply walking to girls is not that creepy. I used to score 4hp numbers in public library. You have to know how to carry yourself. What topics to start of, how to carry conversation, how interesting are you. That a lot being say you need to practice.

I am still single up to 27. Never in relationship before, only god knows why. Yes sometimes i feel like giving up in term of love. I still keep my mind never rush into shits but never reject opportunity.

Good luck.

For a guy, at 25,generally speaking, no money no house no car. Don't be afraid. Make your career and money in your pocket. It takes money to be romantic or spontaneous or kind, qualities that women seek.

Disclaimer: I am single, but here's my thought.

You might be putting too much pressure on yourself, which is not necessary a bad thing if you use it to improve yourself.

Back to the topic, essentially modern dating is a number game in which you will have better chance of meeting someone if you know more people. This is because both girls and guys are spoiled with "choices". Other posters mentioned about being more financially capable, I do agree with this as well because it can gain you access to more venue to know more people.

And about texting, generally girls today are terrible at conversation (sorry to any ladies here sweat.gif ). They are used to guys being the initiator, that they rarely put much effort into it. BUT from my experience, if someone is interested in you, she will try keep the conversation going! If she don't, then move on, don't further feed the need of attention of some people.

These are my experience, and hopefully you can avoid some of my mistakes while I was at your age.

Good luck!

Im a year younger than you but I dont feel the urge of getting into a relationship because I have already set my goals which plays a big role in my life. My ultimate goal is to do masters in overseas and I cant let anyone to stop me. This is the sole reason why I think getting into a relationship will be tedious as it will disrupt my goal.

As advice: Have an ultimate goal but if your goal is to settle down then I dont think my advice works. Good luck anyways.

25 for a guy is still a long way to go.
Build up your network of lady friends whom you want to get close with.
Get to know their inner and never fall for their outer as looks can be deceiving.

In the end, you want someone whom you want to spend the rest of your life with and gets to see her face daily in the morning.

exactly, if the girl is interested, with your somewhat okay conversation skills (as long as dont be like the girls who give one liner or give close ended reply, make life difficult for the girls to reply), the girl will just keep the conversation going and eventually go out with you.

in contrast, even if you have exceptional conversation skills, if the girl is not interested, it's a dead end too, when you feel things are not progressing / she's not responding well / feels like talking to wall / feel like one sided effort, you're not wrong, your gut feeling is warning you and is often right, move the fuck on and dont look back. Find next target.

One thing to add is, when the spark is fizzled out with the girl, and she's gonna leave, dont stop her, there's really nothing you can do to get back someone who doesnt feel for you anymore. You're only losing your dignity if you try hard to make her stay, since she's gonna leave anyway, why not save yourself that dignity and effort?

Take that humiliation of her leaving you positively and use it as motivation to further build yourself, with enough disappointment translates to unwavering motivation, which is the state i am in now. I found my ultimate financial goal and is working hard towards it, and it's working, i really have to thank those girls for pushing me this far to gain this ability. Got money already, scared dont have girls meh? You can play as many girls as you want.

Of course, progress is still going very good for the girl i'm currently pursuing right now, in my recently opened thread, just hope i wont get the same bad ending as i usually get, but if it happened, i wont feel a thing since im already numbed wink.gif

Well said. That's just how it works, as we become more good-looking and earn more, naturally will attract more people into our life.

To TS, when you find someone you are attracted to, don't feel like she's your only chance of happiness. Once you rid of those thinking, you may become more comfortable to talk to her and she can feel it too.

And good to hear about the positive progress you made and making. Keep it up thumbsup.gif
