I am finding myself more and more socially awkward/self conscious around girls ever since my ex treated me horribly and left without reason over a year ago (she has since apologized and we are still friends), I think it is mostly out of fear of it happening again if I get attached. but I know the only way to get over it is to move on and I think online dating might be a good ice breaker because it would allow me to find someone who shares my interests, which could spur some good conversation.so have any of you tried online dating? how did it turn out and do any girls out there have tips on how to start a relationship other than partying/hookups (as most college students would advise.....I don't want to be one of those people, I want it to mean something when it happens-yours truly, 20 year old virgin

I think you just need to keep your eyes and ears open and recognises the signs when a girl likes you.And when that girl does come into your life, don’t take it for granted. Kick yourself if you have to.At 23, I’ve only recently found a girl that truly loves me and guess what, we met online. She commented on a blog post of mine, kind of by accident really. We replied to one another and followed each other around the web. From exchanging blog comments we went onto MSN, and from there we exchanged phone numbers. We finally decided that we needed to meet in order to know for sure whether there was something there. There was.It will be very exciting when you find someone who’s on a similar search.But, I think online dating was made for people who are actually good at actively dating. You need to look into things that interest you personally. Forums on topics you like, comment on websites you enjoy visiting or maybe start your own blog. Dating sites aren’t fool proof, but I’m sure they work... once in a while.The last girl I liked was the daughter of a famous warrior princess. She didn’t like me back as much and I wish I wasn’t so blind at the time, I could have been a better friend.All I can say is - Be yourself when you find an appropriate girl, but go out of your way to impress her when you two meet and are together.Good luck to you fella!

reader, anonymous, writes (30 September 2010): Ever since my ex left me just to be with another guy she met while she was still involved with me I feel so unconfident in myself. What she did to me hurt me so badly that I don't think I can ever go back to meeting people face to face. That's why I've resorted to using online dating in the future as well. I'm not really sure if it works for sure but I'm willing to give anything a try right now. Most of my friends who have used it have said that they like it. They found people that they could really connect to.
