I've been open to finding a g/f for about a year now, and I haven't been successful. I've asked three girls out on real dates and have been turned down all times. Just a few days ago, I asked this girl in my class with whom I had gotten friendly with if she wanted to go out for coffee and she said she wasn't interested.

I have successfully gotten girls to come out with me on "pre-dates", but they've never blossomed into anything.

I'm not insecure about my looks. I've heard enough compliments to be confident about my physical attractiveness. I also have a very diverse set of talents and interests, ranging from sports to arts. I don't think I'm a boring person.

But I'm Asian, and I can't help but wonder if that's somehow negatively affecting me. I'm not socially insular, and I'm very open-minded (the girls I've asked out have been Middle Eastern, hapa black, and white).

Is it supposed to be this difficult?

I have no idea what you're like, but perhaps you come on too strong? How do you project your confidence toward women?

The word that I've heard used most often to describe me is "aloof". I don't think I come on too strong.

You're probably not coming on strong enough. How aggressive were you on these "pre-dates"?
