Tommy my man, just read through your entire thread. You've got some pretty sound advice from everyone. I'll tell you this, I'm the same age as you and up until a couple of years ago I hadn't gotten any as well. Then the internet came to my rescue. Not once, not twice but thrice. And never a dating site. Although I do know how they work. So here's some very important lessons about online women - 1) Never take rejection personally. You never know if the person at the other end has (EDIT - DOESN'T HAVE) a fanny or is even real! 2) Try every trick in the book. Different approaches work with different women. You can use this offline too. By using the same technique you are limiting your options. Try to be a charmer with some and get straight to the point with others. Its all down to the law of averages. Has to work! 3) Check your inbox. I'm sending some discreet advice your way.
EDIT - 4) Internet women tend to be more whacko than regular women. Or should I say more internet women tend to be whacko as compared to regular women. So if you're hoping for something long term - double check, triple check, quadruple check that she's sane. I got into a relationship with one and nearly ended up killing myself. I'm not joking.

One of the problems with online dating is that the women really don't give you much to go by in their profile. The burden to be "interesting" is all on the men. The girls know they'll get tons of messages regardless of what it says in their profile as long as they put up a couple of cute pics, so it's really hard to be different when messaging them.

Fair play to you for admitting it mate, most people in your shoes would lie just for the sake of it, there's nothing to be ashamed of and for the people that take the piss are jut unhappy themselves so are in need to make themselves feel better when in fact they just end up looking bigger dickheads so fuck them. Cant say Ive ever wanted to try the online dating for many reasons however I do find the biggest problem with these sites is that people go on looks first as its their profile pictures they see before anything else, this is why Id avoid them, obviously some people are different, its easier said as well to say don't let it get you down especially when you suffer from lack of confidence (i know i'm by far the most confident person, mainly though being shat on(not litterally)). Just stick at it mate youll get there, you never know whats around the corner.

Have you tried being direct? Sometimes that approach works best. Try not to be too concerned about being ''interesting''. Just tell them what you're looking for. Some might appreciate it as they don't want to waste their time with a long, arduous build up as well. There's nothing to lose.

I rejoined a dating site since I'm now single and I've had sex 3 times since last tuesday (although the tuesday one was someone I've got with before). Its all about your lyrics!
I didn't actually join the site so I could just have sex. I'm also talking to someone else who I had date with on Friday who I'm really into. Sadly, she lives quite far away, but I'm hoping there is a way around it. It seems like the best ones live far away from you. The sites do work though so I wouldn't give up.

What's your secret though? Because I've not had any luck. Is it your profile or your pictures or what you say in the messages?

I'm not looking for sex I just want a date!
But I've not had any replies so I'm interested to hear what Chris is doing differently.
What kind of things do you say in your first message?

chris We're trying to make Tommy feel better about himself mate? You arrive on the scene proclaiming you've bumped uglies 3 times since Tuesday, isn't helping! Hey, I was the one who first mentioned the dating site! I've done my bit. Now I'm just showing off Just lie and say you're a millionaire and you'll buy them a car once you've done it. Nah, I don't have any secrets. On my profiles, I'm just honest, well, brutaly honest. Women appreciate honesty. Also, if I send a message, I send something better than 'how's you' or some variation of that, but that's when I send them. Its rare that ill get in touch with someone first. I'm also quite selective, but also scared of rejection. Not everyone is gonna find u attractive. Well, everyone finds me attractive, cos I am.
