ever tried a convention? I've gone to a few and there always seems to be a lot of single people going in and a lot fewer singels leaving the convention but a hell of a lot more couples.Cowabungaa said:That's my problem as well. I simply have no idea where to find the kind of girl I like, and more importantly, find a girl that likes a guy like me. A girl that isn't scared off by the big Star Wars Anniversary poster on my wall, or the Cylon figurine on my subwoofer, or the sheer amount of videogames and sci-fi/fantasy/comic books on my shelves. And hitting on girls on forums and ingame...yeah no.
Yeah I guess that's the problem; there ain't really any conventions here. I once went to the MCM Expo, but that's in London and I have baaaad experiences with falling for a foreign girl. Geek culture is so underrepresented in this country, or it's incredibly underground as a D&D dude told me during the MCM Expo.Zyntoxic said:ever tried a convention?

I had a friend who met his current girlfriend in the wating line for the Wii console release event at the local gaming store.
point is, there are plenty of irl social events for "geek stuff" and there is usually plenty of singles of both genders and every sexual orientation.
so snap out of it! silly excuses are silly! and you know it *angry glare*

The only geeky Dutch conventions I've heard of were anime conventions, and I'm really not into anime and it's associated culture.
I know only two, what can I say, I'm still a geekBoyninja616 said:"Only 2" he says...inFAMOUSCowZ said:I'm close to one.

I'm 18 going on 19 and am no closer to getting my first so... screw it.
OP: I've been so unlucky with women who I like that my personal mantra has changed to:
Apparently, one of my friends knows someone who likes me, but considering they won't tell me who it is I don't really believe them. At all.
I think that both our respective girls were letting us down easy. Something I've never really understood - if you let someone down easy then they'll still hold onto hope. And in the long run that'll hurt them even more because they're constantly hung up over you instead of moving on because they might think "well, he/she might change her mind later".katsumoto03 said:Similar to this, but her reasoning was, "I'm just not looking for a relationship with anyone any time soon."FightThePower said:Nope. Haven't found the right girl.
Nearly did, but then she decided to friend zone me, even though she remarked she would be 'happy' to go out with me. Oh well.
Cut to a week later and she's now dating someone. I'm glad for you, OP, but I'm not quite joyful right now.
