Does finding a girlfriend happen on its own? I dont put much effort to find a girlfriend. I feel I will know what to do when the time comes.

The girl who would be my wife just walked into a basement we were all hanging in. She was friends with the girl who's house it was. I could hear music as she came down the stairs. I did my hardest to woo her and it obviously worked. We dated for 16 years and have been married for 10. It was a chance happening. So I do believe in fate having something to do with it.

Ya, man. The key to success in finding a GF is to not look for a girlfriend, and always be yourself. A chick will notice you sooner or later. Until then, play all the games you want, and drink all the booze you want.

The closest I get to girls is when I intend to just have fun or just doing what I normally do. I never get close to girls at parties where I know guys and girls hook up.

No, you have to call some people and they bring it to your home.

Yes, it'll happen sooner or later. Not sure about your age or lifestyle but get involved at school in some clubs and stuff. Moping around on the comp at home... not going to happen.

It takes a lot of effort to fine one... and even more to keep one. Romantic relationships are not for the lazy or the faint of heart. It is good you are not motivated to find someone, as you probably won't, and won't have to deal with a messy break up.

Wasn't looking for any relation ship when i found my current gf of 2 1/2 years strong. We had fresh gym class together, i never really payed that much attention to her but i guess she had a crush on my since i looked like the guitarist from avenged sevenfold so i was labeled hot lol. But ya girls never really go for me but i decided to date her that summer for some odd reason. I wasnt even that into her and now i can't see myself being with anyone else so yay me.

It depends - If you're exceptionally good looking and/or rich it doesn't take much effort. But if you're like most guys and are neither of those things it does take some effort.

It did for me. Although that's usually a side effect of driving around in a $30,000 car while wearing a uniform.

For you, it depends on your attitude, your budget, and your location.

The only girlfriend I have ever gotten asked ME out, so I guess it happens on it's own sometimes. I'm waiting for the next girl who likes me enough to ask me out, next time I'm not going to act like such a poosy in front of her.

It happens, but it also takes some effort. So, both in a way.

that only happened in middle/high school for me

try just becoming friends with a girl first. don't talk to girls with the sole pupose of trying to make them your girlfriend. be friends first, then you will both realize if you want to be anything more.

yes and no. her attraction to you begins by being yourself and not doing anything except what makes you happy, but to make her your girlfriend you need to put in the effort, without making her your priority until shes your girlfrind.

Wow this is like a paradox to "Help me get a girlfriend" threads...Um I think it depends where your from like if your the only one some where in antactica, You should go find a girlfriend but if you live in a big city where there's a lot of people, then it can happen,you gotta expose yourself.

P.S- I know no one lives in antarctica >_>

All the times I've actually tried to get a girlfriend I have failed miserably. However just recently I have been hanging out a lot with a girl I met and became friends with last year, but didn't really give a second glace to at first. In fact, I literally just got back from watching a movie at her apartment. We'll see where it goes :D

Take it from me, if you're putting too much effort in it, you're doing it wrong. The effort comes in after you've gotten into a relationship.

No, because you have to work for it. Don't expect them to come to you.

No, finding love requires active effort and grim determination. You have to seek it, hunt it, stalk it with sly and stalwart predatory purpose. Preferably from a windowless van with a bottle of ether and a roll of duct tape. *nod* Girls like it when you romance them a little.

Although chance encounters are known to happen, you can't really expect to find a suitabe life partner without putting some sort of effort into it.

No. One should not put too much effort out. Have fun, act normally in general, do the stuff you normally do. Participate in some more social outings, and invite others along if you feel it's a good idea. Participate in clubs or whatnot that fit your interests, it's easier to meet people genuinely through those than at bars/clubs.

Hm, well, my current girlfriend (let's call her Amy) hung out with the same group of friends I did, so we saw each other all the time. A friend of ours told me that Amy thought I was cute, so I started going out of my way to talk to her, make plans, etc. We went on a few group dates together, then went on a few by ourselves. After a few weeks of this, I asked Amy to be my girlfriend and she said yes. Before this, I was going out with a girl I met through theater club (we'll call her Christie.) I thought she was cute, so I hung around with her a lot. People started noticing that we were always together and one of the cast members remarked that we were a cute couple. I asked Christie if she actually wanted to be a couple, she said yes, and we went out for two years. In both cases neither party exerted an incredible amount of effort, other than organizing plans and such.

If coming into a lady you're dating is a random phenomena then i don't think you're doing it right :lol:

As for me, yeah i'd have to put a lot of effort in to get a girlfriend, just how it is for me, never get any luck. But i don't have the desire/effort to bother. It doesnt really matter much in life.

It takes effort if you're actually LOOKING. Dressing up, going out, phone calls, dates, etc.

Being able to read body language will help you a lot. Unfortunately guys are much worse at that than girls.

Depends on whether you're good looking or not.I always seemed to attract girls even though I'm pretty antisocial and "have no life".

Yes to a degree. I've always found when you actively search for a partner you don't find anyone, but when you don't want one / aren't looking opportunities seem to arise.

Obviously if you sit around at home all the time playing games then it won't happen. If you go out and socialise with friends then you tend to meet people.

I've also had this happen a couple times as well. You're single for over a year and then meet someone. 3 days later you meet someone else.

Met my wife when I got a part-time job at a clothing store when I was in college. She trained me in on my job so we were talking to each other constantly, and we hit it off really well and before you knew it we just fell hard for each other :)

I find that a girlfriend tends to come into your life when the time is right.
