writes:Hey everyone, I have something very cliche to ask. I'm 20 years old and for the first time in my life I really am interested in girls and I wanted to start dating. Problem is most people by this age already had that eureka moment, so I have no idea what I am doing.I've started investing in some new clothes, I have trained myself to have better posture, I practiced chatting with strangers so I can lose my shyness. I think I have come far, but what is next? How do I actually meet girls? Surely I can't randomy go sit next to a girl I don't know in the bus if it's only the 2 of us on the bus... That would be awkward.Also, once I actually start dating a girl, how many dates until it is seen as acceptable to move forward with the relationship?I feel like my inexperience is ruining my chances! Thank you in advance!

Let things happen naturally. There are no written rules for what you should and should'nt do when it comes to dating. By all means look on the internet at stories and articles giving advice on dating etc Read books, magazines and watch dating shows on TV to give you ideas as to what to do and expect. This will help somewhat as to what to expect.Continue focusing on your appearance but personality is important too and confidence. Be polite and a gentleman at all times. Mostly you'll learn from experience as time goes on. How to meet girls? Socialise. Join a club, the gym a swimming club. Basically wherever you feel you'll meet more girls. Internet dating is good too.If you're busy and can't socialise, internet dating is good. I started online dating 6yrs ago because I was too busy to go out etc The internet allowed me to connect with someone in my own time and arrange to meet up when it was convenient for us both. Alot of people internet date, it's popular nowadays. There is a free site called Plenty of Fish that you can try. I use it too and have had luck on it. As long as you're over 18 that's fine. Make sure you stay safe and meet dates in public places. Never give anyone money. Mostly have fun. Dating is supposed to be fun so don't stress out too much.

Girls are not aliens from another planet. They're all around you. Stop being afraid of them.
