It's that thing you get with a cereal box every morning.

Then I need to buy some cereals and I'll get a sexy misspelled male.

I voted "so-so". I'm able to get dates semi-regularly but those dates don't necessarily lead to anything due to disinterest from either party. I've only had two long-term relationships and neither were with my preferred gender.

If I weren't with the lovely human that I am with now, I'd be alone for a very long time. I was blessed, in my opinion. *Shrug* If not, I'd be another regular of this forum and many others on WP.

It's not that I don't get dates, I just try too hard by not trying at all, if that makes sense.

Getting a woman's attention is a relatively simple matter for me. Lots and lots of trial and error (especially the error part) have shown me what works.

Keeping her interested once she's gotten to know me; not so much.

Getting dates is easy. Getting what I want out of those dates, an actual relationship, is not.

I've been on one date in my entire life. So, it's basically impossible for me. Guys never even talk to me. Like, literally never (unless we're in class and they want to copy my work :/ )

It's not difficult to find a man who is interested, the problem is finding one who stays that way once they realize I'm not like other women.

I only started dating in about June 2011 and then tried to have a mostly internet relationship with a girl I met on OKCupid, though I did have a few physical dates with her. That didn't work out and it ended 6 months later. I haven't had a date since then but I'm back on OKCupid looking for someone else.

P.S. Notice how many males chose "rare" in the poll compared to females.

^ rare's females make up about 50% of total females so far - but I am curious if the poll's results would be different if it was about numbers.

This poll is very very subjective, it's useless.

small sample size so far. there is a topic here where someone ask women here where they meet their husband/boyfriend and it is 5 page long

I disagree - but you can always make your own poll looking for specific numbers. This is more of a "relative satisfaction" thing. Some people may only want one date a year and respond with a so-so or something.... I could almost rephrase as "do you find it problematic or not?"

Thank you for the votes and comments, folks!

I get their phone numbers easily enough.

But a date literally does come up when the planets align.

..never a 2nd date.

that has been the bulk of my experience except for 1 girl who turned out was dating me because she needed someone 'safe' to hang out with. meh.

I use online exclusively (too shy to approach girls in person, mostly do to having no clue if we have anything in common or if they have any interest in me).
So I can usually get dates when girls respond to my messages and it gets to that point. I've even had 4 in a week once.
The problem is i rarely get a 2nd date. I think it might go well, but they don't seem to have any interest in me once we meet.
