I'm a 29M virgin who is trying to put himself out there and finally meet girls and hopefully a girlfriend. When I was late High School age I had a few girls interested in me but my young dumb teenage brain didn't recognize or didn't know how to escalate. After High school I didn't go to college I went straight into a trade job where women are scarce or scary. I didn't have any real attention from women till my short lived relationship when I was 27 but I consider that to be a fluke because she approached me and our relationship was short lived because of the difference of age and she lived far away. She gave me my first kiss at 27 but we never made it to sex. I'm 29 now and finally trying to really put myself out there for real and meet girls. I have a good friend who's trying to couch me and I've been going to singles events. I've had a few conversations at the events but they either fell flat or I didn't know how to escalate. The one number I got never responded. I've tried the apps but an average looking guy like me has few chances and I've been ghosted stood up or catfished by the matches I did get. I recently deleted the last app. I'm in need of ideas because most of my normal activities are male centric or not conducive to meeting single women. I wish I were more attractive and confident but nearly 30 years of virginity doesn't help ones confidence. But I should be confident,I'm a successful electrician,I own a home,I have multiple vehicles,a camper,and I am a good person,but I can't translate my fairly good life onto my personality. I'm just not good with women. I need to do this though,I can't keep hiding away from it,it's definitely easier to hide but I've done enough of that. I need to go something because I've got serious FOMO for all the sexual and romantic things I should've done by now. What do you guys do to meet women theses days? I'm going to continue going to singles events but one or two events per month just isn't gonna cut it. Any and all advice would be helpful. By the way I'm on a path of self improvement,I'm losing weight and quitting porn.
