You're young, busy and don't have a lot of time. Most people are busy and don't have much time. They walk around with blinders on and don't think of all the potential mates they walk by every day.
You won't meet many girls in the gymn or on the street.
I found my last three girlfriends on dreammates (
www.dreammates.com). There are dozens of dating services like this. I had dates with a half dozen or so before I found my sweetie. I had dates two or three nights a week.
Women get on the computer and then they have time to look for dates. There are thousands of women looking for you. There's a few dogs, but some are just busy students or too busy and prefer finding dates on the internet.
Find a few girls, not just one. It does wonders for your ego. Pick one you like best after dating them all and then dump the rest.
Worked for me and I'm an ugly, old, fat fart.
