    Well I have to tell you. Your cute and you seem really sweet. I would just go out there and be yourself. Like what someone else said on here when your not looking its much more easy to meet people and not stress than they see the real you. Good luck

    or, to be ugly about it, you could go for an easy lay, get it out of the way and then move on......

    Yes there are crazy people with online dating but it does work. Been with same person going on 10 years met online and only lived 10 miles a part. Where elese can you weed thru 100's of people while scrolling online. Much better then sitting in a bar. The paid online services are much better then the free ones. There is also one that meets in person called events and adventures they are in the major areas and now I see match is doing same type of concept where it is face to face. Speed dating is also a fun night out. It is all about expectations if you just go for fun you never know what you may find. Your pic on here is very cute I highly doubt once you get out there you will be taken very soon! =)

    Find the things you love to do, Go out with friends to places you like & would go to by yourself. Have fun, she will find you there, & if she is there then you will have that in common. Just be yourself, you are young,good looking. Best wishes.

    I'm not into the online dating AT all- so many douche bags just trying to get into your pants!
    I always meet guys through common friends and out at various bars/pubs. I tend to not talk to the really drunk ones, but look for someone that might be a sober driver! I always have a great conversation that way and you know the conversation isn't just happening due to alcohol.

    But give it time as everyone says...you're a good looking young man and the ladies will start flocking! It's all about confidence.

    Yes, give yourself some time to let your head catch up with your body. I am almost at my goal weight and my mind still hasn't caught up with my body. It takes time. You are cute as the other ladies have said--I hope you believe us and we're not just saying that either :-). I agree that when you aren't really looking--it just comes along! That is what happened to me! I sure as hell wasn't looking when I met my husband and he pursued me with a vengeance even when I told him I wasn't interested in a serious relationship. It worked--we have been married about 11 years now :-)

    Starting BMI 2/3/2012 - 38
    Goal BMI-24! REACHED and BELOW!! 10/2012 Current BMI 21.0!
    The best goals reached are the ones hardest earned.

    You are who you are, whether you are 500 lbs or 200 lbs. Your the same person on the inside, just a bit more confident in your physical appearance at 200 Enjoy the interest woman show in you, but don't be too confident. That can drive women away. My advice, just be yourself. If that causes you to stumble while in conversation with a woman, it is what it is, you are who you are, and if she's the right woman, she won't even care You need to be with a woman who understands you and can be okay with where you are now vs where you were 2 years ago. Someone you can be honest with and feel comfortable around. Cause trying to hide who you used to be is only going to cause problems later. Be honest and have fun! Good luck!
