It is one of the most common questions I get at Teen Advice, "Why can't I get a date?". It is also one of the
hardest questions to answer. There is no one reason why people remain dateless. There are no hard and fast rules about
what makes you "date-able". It all comes down to individual circumstances.
What plays out well in one school might spell social disaster in another. We have all heard the stories about the loner who changed schools
and became the most popular person on their new campus. Conversely, what gets you a date with one person, might fail miserably
with another. Dating advice from friends is really hard to take seriously because what works for your bud may not work for you.
Your personality may not be able to carry off the same sort of approach, you may not be able "work those moves" with the same
cool style. When it comes to dating, we are all as unique as fingerprints.
That is not to say that there are no dating generalizations. But those generalizations aren't so much about which dating
techniques work, as they are about why certain dating styles are doomed to fail. Even if you are the coolest most confident
person in school you will find yourself on the receiving end of dating failure every once in awhile. Then the inevitable question
will arise, "Why?! Why me??".
While that is a question that only the person who rejects you can answer, there are ways you can figure out what the problem
might be. Every dating style there is will fail on occasion. To figure out what your style is and how you can change
in order to avoid the big dumper, take our exclusive "Dating Style Quiz".
Good luck and Happy Insight!
