I don't want to blow my own trumpet but I consider myself to be a naturally funny / interesting guy, and the consensus among my friend group (of guys and girls) is that I'm the funniest/smartest person in the group - they said so when we had to vote on it during a drinking game a few weeks ago. I don't actually think that's true but I mention this to show that it's not all an arrogant delusion.
For some reason this doesn't seem to cut it with women I'm trying to court/date, as they seem to lose interest in me within a few dates, if we even make it that far.
My sense of humor is pretty dark and deadpan so I'm definitely not a mindless hype man, but if you want to laugh and think I'm pretty good company.
The first thought is that I'm obviously not sexualizing the interactions enough, and that was true in the early days, but nowadays I try to touch, hold eye contact, flirt, and kiss by the first date.
The next thought is probably that I'm not very attractive or have misleading photos, but I'm 6'5 muscular and fairly good looking, so I would be very surprised if that were the reason. I do have a few regrettable face tattoos I got during my rebellious phase but I...jk. Although I guess you could say I look unmemorable because I'm just a clean cut guy fit looking guy. My dress sense and hygiene shouldn't be holding me back either.
The next thought I guess is that dating is just tough, or I've just been unlucky or have been going for the wrong type of women... that could partly be it...but I try to only arrange dates with women who I seem to have some rapport with over messages or when we met in person
I will admit that I'm not a naturally romantic guy - I'm not always wanting to hold hands and hug and act like lovebirds especially not in public, so maybe that's holding me back.
The thing is I think about guys I know who seem to fall into relationships and FWB easily and I can't really figure out what they're doing differently, some of them are straight up boring and aren't the sharpest tools either, nor charismatic, but they must be doing something that I'm not.
What do you guys think?
