I truly have.

Mine is a world in which everyone else gets the girl, no matter how hard I try. It's the Red Queen's race: "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!"

So I give myself the exact same ultimatum I did back in 2001. I have until the end of February to at least get one kiss, one cuddle from a girl who doesn't turn her head away so as not to endure my presence. One moment when I don't feel like I'm disconnected from the human race. Anything more intimate is a bonus, of course, not to mention cloud fucking cuckoo land.

After that, I resign. From this forum, from life itself, for realsies.

Last time, I got nine years of sheer total bliss. What will I get this time, I wonder?

Stimbo, friend... you need a change of environment. Get a job and meet people. Join a club. Get help. I know I keep telling you the same thing, but this is the only thing I can think of. For different results you need to do something different. *hug

Oh, stop thinking about sex! You're always on about it. Morning, noon and night: "Will the girls like this, will the girls like that? Is it too big, is it too small?"

Their loss. You're one of my favorite people here. I am shocked that you haven't reconnected with someone. I know you still carry the torch big time and that might be getting in the way. If you're going to give yourself this sort of ultimatum then you'd better go all out to make it happen. We're counting on you - go get HER!

Just one kiss or one cuddle from a girl will make you feel connected to the human race again? Otherwise you feel disconnected? ... Come on Stimbo.

Ah L'Amour. The thing which you get when you're not looking for it any more. Ivy gives good advice. Find new things and new people. Broaden your scope. Fish in different waters. And don't force it, these things rarely happen when you do.

Not sure giving yourself this kind of ultimatum is going to work too well. From memory I tended to pull only when I wasn't actively trying. I think that we tend to give off some kind of sense of desperate that others pick up on when we set goals like this.

My best advice would be to chill out, leave yourself open to the possibility, socialize as much as you can and let things take their natural course.

Do that and it will probably happen, but not necessarily in your timescale.

I'm assuming you've already tried dating sites and the like.

Somehow I don't think that's going to help.

Agreed. Women can smell desperation at 0.2 parts per million. Like bloodhounds they are.
