Especially at my college campus, this is the main reason I can't find anyone. Does anyone else have this problem? I met this cool girl at school, but then she waited until like our 3rd conversation to slip in that she has a boyfriend, sigh -_-. Then I met this other girl who was pretty cute, and she added me on facebook, and then I also found out she had a bf >.<

Damn, maybe my luck just sucks, everyone tells me to use OkCupid, but I'm like "UGHHH -_-". I do have an OkCupid account but no luck.

Women who are attractive and have other compelling qualities such as intelligence and a charming personality are always going to be in demand. Your best bet is to try and get involved in different activities that bring you into contact with people-as many as you can handle, and obviously things you enjoy doing.

Other than that, there's not a lot you can do. I have the same problem at my college.

If you believe you have the characteristics necessary to attract people, then it's more of a case of just meeting as many people as possible that you have things in common with. Nothing you can do about a woman being taken.

There are attractive and interesting women out there, it's just that you'll likely find them in the process of seeking out other things that you like to do.

Two girls isn't really a valid sample size.

There's just as many single women as men out there.

I know exactly how yer feel it can be a real kick in the teeth.

My advice to you is i find a night out with the lads helps take yer minds off girls and dont be too dependant on it all other wise it may bring you down a little as i have felt this in the past...

I never had a girl I didn't take off someone else. That was half the fun of it. Girls with boyfriends aren't 'taken', they just know how to pass the time until the real thing comes along. Maybe that's you.

I assume that was meant to be sarcastic...

I don't mean to be a dick, but . . .

College is by far the easiest place to find available women. You have to be missing an astonishing number of signals from an astonishing number of women.

I lived on a co-ed floor in the dorms and then in an apartment building when I was in college. It was literally impossible to not get hit on every day. Even my awkward penguin ass found a couple dates. Two words: study room -- I cannot emphasize enough how valuable the study rooms are to find girls -- helping with an English 100 paper is a fast track to dating.

Milling around before class can be handy. If a girl who mills around with you then goes into class and sits down with you, then you're in solid.

And once you get to know a few girls, work their friends. Then if you lose a girl to graduation or drop-out, you have back-ups options who also happen to have spent the last few months talking positively about you.

Clubs are excellent. Especially ones that work on on-going projects (example: newspaper). Deadline pressures are a chance, like the study room, to jump in and provide help. Help is always a chance for bonding and flirting. Same goes for a job.

Yea, my graduate school is a lot like that. I feel like I am finally ready to date (probably was in undergrad... but not really) but anyone I am remotely interested in had been going out with someone for like a year before I knew them. Beyond that even if they were to break up I have no clue about how long the waiting period should be after long relationships... :-/

Keep trying, you're bound to eventually meet someone who isn't committed to anyone and shows a genuine interest in you as a person. Look at this way, even if you're in the friend zone with a girl that's local, at least you'll still be invited to parties and other opportunities will arise from it. Don't build your hopes up too high on one person or take anything too seriously, just enjoy it for what it is.

Keep talking to girls, even if they have boyfriends cuz they might have single friends. Just don't give up. Having an active social life with lots of women is key.

I'm not terrible. I didn't so much mean that taking a girl from someone was fun as playing the game with a flirty girl. The coolest ones have boyfriends, they have no reason not to, but that doesn't mean they're married with children. If you just want free sex then drunk single college girls, obviously, but if you want meaningful involvement...
