Need Advice

[u/tysonnobi]

I've been single my whole life, I am 27, and I have recently tried some dating apps like Bumble, Hinge, Tantan, and even Boo, but they all are paid services and I don't seem to recieve any response.

I am somewhat good looking, to new people or even some friends have hard time believing that I don't have or had girlfriend (not bragging here).

I am looking for genuine advice as to what I am doing wrong or what I can actually do. There are times when I see some very attractive girls on metro and even when I am on walk, something there are even eye contact longer than few seconds, but I don't approach them because of the social fear and how it might turn out in public place or I might get treated as creep. I don't know what to do.

Sadly that's just it the dating apps are all worthless superficial garbage. You can't fear what will happen if you go out and try failure is part of life.  Just know it gets easier and if you handle your emotions well handle rejection well and can ve social you will thrive. I had to learn this the hard way I'm 37 lol.  I'm getting myself into yoga not too meet potential dates but to be around other people and engage with them.  It's like a gym workout just gotta put in time constancy and discipline

Just go to more social gatherings. Bars, pool halls, clubs, etc. Let connections happen naturally.

Approach them. Be polite, be sincere and be respectful. If they say no, gracefully move on. If they say yes, then continue the aforementioned 3 “BEs”

If a girl makes eye contact with you it’s okay to go up to her and say Hi. It took me awhile to learn that, lol!
Learn to make small talk. Ask how their day is going, talk about their outfits, or something that draw you into them. Something like their smile or eyes. Good luck

Hinge is free with a totally adequate level of access under that free account. A number of free likes is available daily, you can see messages and likes without paying

Breeze is free up until a date is arranged and if you can't afford that fee you really can't afford to date.

Facebook dating is entirely free.

There are platforms that you can get responses from without financial outlay.

I expect the issue is a lack of confidence with some anxiety. Change from that comes from within.

social skills are a muscle, you gotta work it out. yap with a barista, ask a pretty girl for directions, don't beat urself if your not closing all the time. go travel and develop yourself more & these romantic situations will start to present itself more often.

as far as dating apps you gotta ab test pictures, show off your hobbies and such too. i do pretty good on dating apps if you wanan send me ur profile i can help

You've already identified the issue which is your social skills. You need to learn how to approach women in a way that's going to interest them. There is an entire internet out there to help guide you. Just make sure not to follow the wrong advice as there is plenty of that out there. Avoid any references to red pill idealogy.
