CIJS,
There's a nice man who works in the men's department in my store. On occasion, I have heard him mention some concerns about how he should go about successfully dating others. Now, while I'm no dating guru, I have learned some things that may be of use to him: ultimately, IMO, you've got to be able to be yourself and be confident about who you are. Now, if you have done this on a date and the other person is not romantically interested, then there's nothing to be ashamed of: you gave it your best shot and were honestly upfront about who you are as an individual, which demonstrates a healthy self-esteem and confidence while showing consideration for the other person's time and dating goals. In addition, if the other person was initially interested in you, then take it as a compliment that you are presenting yourself well and confidently move on with your dating adventure.
With that said, this man is very nice, funny, erudite, and highly intelligent, which really sets him apart; he eventually wants to be a history professor. Hence, IMO, if he lets these qualities glow and come out in full-force on his dates (he doesn't suppress them behind some preconceived notion of machismo idiocy), then sooner or later, he'll probably meet a woman and make that special connection where both of them can be themselves around one another and be truly happy.
