Why do people give you useless advice on dating?
I'm a male 21 years old and never been in a relationship before. Everyone out there is either dating, or has dated at least once. Heck I hear all the time how someone accidentally had sex with somebody or made out with somebody even though they didn't love each other. All of this happens to everyone around me except for me.
I often ask friends or family members about my lack of dating experience and their response is always the cliché "Don't worry there's someone out there for you. It may not happen now but it will happen." I have been alone for 21 years. Is that not long enough? Then they go on talking about their bad experiences with dating and my response is "Well if it's that easy then why didn't it happen to me?"

Probably because they know what your flaws are and are not telling you them because they don't want to hurt your feelings. Yes there is someone for you but you have to make an EFFORT to find them. I know how you feel, and I think one of the biggest issues that single people have is that they want the other person to find THEM. To do all the work, all the talking everything. You cant have that attitude or be stubborn. Because to be honest everyone is self centered and everyone thinks that they are a prize. You don't have to go up and talk to every girl thinking she might be the one, that is actually the wrong way to do it. instead put yourself in more situations to find a girl that you like. Start going out A LOT more, if you really want to be with someone that badly then you need to make your self available for that opportunity. Think about it like this, if your car is falling apart and has all these problems and you cant drive it and have some money saved for a down payment, you will never find that car if you don't go to the dealership and see whats there. Yea you can look online and click the next button all day, but you need to make a physical effort and be there in person

You're operating as though a date isn't something you work for. You have to find and earn a date they don't just come to you. You want dating advice? Here it is.
Have self confidence. Dress like you care about your appearance. Don't be an asshole. Be interested in what she has to say.
That's the basics, the rest is up to you to claim

I'll give you little bit, but you should checkout ez2tock2me.com.
Practice is the start of most things.
PRACTICE Smiling and saying HI to people, but mainly the opposite sex. Get comfortable with that much. Next COMPLIMENT people on things you like about them. All people from time to time, so you get smooth with Complimeing. You will be known as the nice guy who Smiles and says HI. Now, you are NOT invisible to people. Introduce yourself to people and get their name after a compliment. Compliments cause, Smiles make people more open to approach. IN PRACTICE in are allowed to mess up, but they don't count. Ask any Coach or Sports Player.
Meeting people, especially females, the one you are looking for, might find you.
Take your time, move at your own pace, BUT DO IT. How long you remain YOU, the way you are, is up to you.

If you aren't dating then that is probably your fault. Why don't you ask women out?
