What am I doing wrong?

So....I now have yet another love interest that I am chatting up from a dating site....

The last woman I talked to, who was older than me, hasn't been returning my e-mails. I thought things went great, but maybe she didn't. Oh well. Hopefully she's just busy and will respond eventually.

Still, I don't know what's happening that's led me to such failure in something happen for the long-term. I've had a number of dates and some went well and others didn't. Still, nothing comes of it.

I mean I used to think I just wasn't attractive....but you have to admit that if there isn't an initial attraction there would be no date in the first place, so that's out.

I think it comes down to the fact that I'm not really in a stable point in my life. I don't have a job and I live with my parents. Well. The latter hopefully will be fixed soon.

Anyway, I'm excited because my friend M. wants me to come hang out with her in Philly. She told me the Chinatown buses between NYC and Philly are pretty cheap. It would be great to hang out with one of my closest friends from college again. She's one of the most fun people I ever met.

And yes, a little bit of me hopes that she is interested. When she sent me the Facebook message I curiously checked her home page and was relieved to see that she and her boyfriend from when she was living out on the West Coast were no longer together.

And then there's always the woman from the site I just started talking to.

Man, possibilities abound but nothing ever seems to materialize. Don't get me wrong, I don't pity myself, I just wonder what the problem is....

If I only knew what women were thinking.
I would probably not tell anyone.
I'm guessing you have identified 3 factors in the above paragraph
1.) Life Stability
2.) No Job
3.) Living with parents

Many of the women on dating sites will request that men who contact them have a job and their own place.
Request is sometimes putting it mildly
Often it is a stern warning! - DON'T etc...

The three could be all solved with a job.
That would make you appear much more stable and allow you $$ to move out.

Good Luck!
 
I think the main thing is that you have to come accross as stable. not lie, but girls dont need, nor do they care, to know things arent going so great for you.

no one likes to hear someone complain (certainly if youre just getting to know them) - People like to be around people who make them feel good and are positive.

Until you get a job, you are stuck in your current state.
*I just read your profile and youre a grad of school - man, thats a big plus versus if you hadnt been doing much with your life.
Rather than complaining or drawing a lot of negativity about how you live at home and are jobless, how about the fact that its just a starting point and youre on your way to improving these things (its all about goals, and setting yourself to achieve them) - and it all takes some time.

things only appear worse (usually) when you draw attention to them.

looks like you have a nice dick and bod from what we can see - you might want an actual girlfriend, but how about banging some chicks? might not be ideal for you, but at least youll get some practise with the gals.

just think, if you are down and mopey with a girl youre into, and then the next move you make it to kiss her... thats kinda odd - keep your visit with your gal pal as happy and flirty. Dont talk to her about your problems, dont complain, dont sounds unstable - if you act like this with girls youre into, they will only see you as a friend (and sorry, but weak/vulnerable, etc...). They dont want to take care of you, they need to know youre doing fine, even if youre not entirely.


just think - its not being a spin doctor, but you can position somethings that arent so positive as not-negative, but improving.

Try temp work, physical labour, whatever - it'll get you money, maybe youll make some contatcs for a FT job and soon, the girls will be coming!

good luck man
