I'm 25 and introspecting once again why I still don't have a girlfriend. The past few years since moving to Europe, I've been working on myself and things have definitely improved for good. I've managed to ask out a decent number of beautiful women and I've had the nicest first dates. However, the part after this is which I'm afraid I'm not able to get the hang of. After hitting it off, I do take the initiative to ask the girl out again. I admit I need a couple more dates to build up on that rapport before I'm comfortable enough to openly confess my romantic interest. That being said, I barely get to go that far ! Agreeing on seeing each other again suddenly becomes exponentially difficult. They either claim to be very busy or have other excuses as well. Assuming they're playing hard to get, I do play along for a while but at some point it is not fun anymore after which I just move on! That wouldn't be so bad if months later I didn't see them together with remarkably lame guys. What do you think is going on here ? Is it something I'm doing or not doing ?
