god, depression after night out

In IRL

went out to a pub last night, came home alone at 3 am. fun time was had. but then, I was walking along grafton street and I see all these couples holding hands and being cosy. see maybe 20 couple making out on grafton street alone . this made me feel really bad - 1.my inability to "pull" a girl
2.i will probably be single on christmas + won't
get any action

now that I get it out of my chest, i'm not sure anymore if im just horny or depressed with my singledom.

any suggestions? on 1. pull a girl and score at the end of a night out?
2. meet a wonderful gf material?

Talk to women when you're out, be yourself and dont just try to come off as their best friendwhen you're trying to chat them up. That and it helps not to be ugly.:v:

Ah, don't sweat it, man. We all feel like that from time to time. I know I do. Especially this time of year. Must be something about Christmas (and New Year's especially) that makes you feel down when you see all those happy couples.

However, then I console myself by thinking about all the negatives of being in a relationship and all the shít you have to put up with from girls and I quickly snap out of it!

As a wise man one said, "Remember, no matter how good she looks, somebody, somewhere is tired of putting up with her shít!" So do what I do and take comfort in the fact that you don't have to worry about buying a Christmas present for a girlfriend and go spend the money on yourself instead!

Happy Christmas!

hey buddy you should be enjoying the single life, your young and have plenty of time to find someone.

Dont get a hangup that having a gf is the be all and endall of a perfect life, be comfortable and confident about your life first.Once that happens then everything will fall into place. Sure its annoying to see everyone loved up but this is life and you have to make do.

A niteclub isnt the best place to meet the girl of your dreams especially when your flamin drunk. Next time your out and you see a girl that you fancy do something about it.

Its all about confidence.

Go to the International on a Friday/ Saturday night and enjoy some cheery christmas comedy. It'll lift your spirits right the way up. Also the male comedians make a habit of slagging off their own neurotic relationships. It makes me feel a whole lot better, could help you.

Quite honestly, going out on a friday/saturday night is the worst night to pull anyone of interest, so honestly you should try looking elsewhere, and at other times. I can't give you any tips where to look exactly, but I met my last girlfriend in a pub at lunch time on a weekday, and the one before that at the local weekend market during the day. Never met anyone of any worth out on a night out at the weekend.

Works far better if you're talking to a girl during the day, then ask them if they'd like to meet up later. Or at least it works for me.

Cheer up man. You never know what's gonna happen, life is random. Make the most out of its randomness.

thanks for the moral boost everybody.

i kinda agree you on the above Karl Hungus. there is more competition and girls go crazier than weekdays. TBH, i think its easier to score when theyre pretty drunk and, easier to chat them up and set-up a follow-up meeting when they are sober.

i think i would have to be as drunk as the girl not to feel bad scoring her, which i never do during the week lol.

maybe going out on a wed/thursday is a better idea. i just like going to nightclubs because i like dancing. i agree that pubs are better to talk to anyone w/o the music and all.

Well, you might be depressed, but you cheered me up.

thursday and sunday are the best nights for pulling.
everyone is too busy concentrating on friday/saturday night to bother with the other days. also, there are less people. you can actually have a conversation without shouting.

Be 19 years old, dance and get pretty merry on a student night! Works for me!

Go with the way the night takes you. Try to stay relatively sober... I once got the big E from a lovely woman who was very interested in me due to the fact that drink makes men assh*les in a lot of circumstances.

Go and listen to the Tom Waites song 'Closin' Time'... sometimes the 'blues' can cheer you up...

i was out in town last night too, town was an absolute kip with people going to the toilet outside the Gaiety/ and puke everywhere. yes i saw all the couples too.

i went out with two really good mates(both girls) and it wouldn't really bother me seeing all the smooching etc, most them have probably had alot to drink and don;t really care who they're scoring anyhow. I think the best way to meet people is in a non- pub suituation, then you get the real deal. i actually find my fencing club is a great place for meeting people.
