I was going to make the same point that thespian86 made. Focus on yourself, etc. I had a good reason for not doing so, regardless of the fact that I don't recall exactly what it is. Regardless, this is also correct. Being a whole person is important.

squeeeb, based on what I've seen of you in your blog and elsewhere, I wonder about this. You've claimed that you have no goals, and that you spend most of your time essentially floating. Perhaps it's time to find some new goals. Learn a new craft, pick up an instrument. Find something to be passionate about. You seem to have a fair bit of free time (I also seem to recall that you only work 2-3 days per week), so use that time productively to make you a better you. Having something to be deeply passionate over makes you a more interesting person, which means that when you do meet that right person you'll be more attractive.

I have met girls by approaching them randomly. The key is that when I approach a girl randomly, it's usually because she's doing something interesting and I'm curious to know more about it. I don't do it because I want a relationship, but rather because she seems like an interesting person and I want to know more about her.

I met Magpie through work, though, and this is my most successful relationship by far.
