20. Because you're 20. That's perfectly fine. Just enjoy the ride and learn whatever you can from each go around.

Well yeah, that sort of thing happens. Most of the time, people will want different things from a relationship. One person will end up feeling like there's more chemistry between them than the other. For the most part, dating isn't easy, and it really shouldn't be, because you're intimately intertwining your lives, all your emotional baggage, with one another. When it's bad, it can be really bad.

Good luck with that. Its a bit different being an American abroad. You ought to try finding your local baygoyle hangout and work your way up from there. I was stuck in Italy/Germany for a bit and had to figure that out myself.

Then just keep playing the field. Trust me man there are lots and lots of girls. I use to be overweight in middle school and I was with girls. Just listen, try not to be weird (socialize with girls and without), be a little cocky without being cunty and you'll be ok. Don't act desperate and make any discussion you have about her and whatever she cares about. I know it sounds simple and hard at the same time, but keep working on it and keep trying. You'll fail and that's part of life, but get back up. Don't get hung up on a girl, on a failure.

Numerous reasons I hate this answer

1) then that would make them the "gold digger" of accents

2) do they really like me or just the accent?

and no I don't, I do many accents to include English but no I have a flat American accent, one that can not be pin pointed because AYOOO I'm not really from the US. And I'm living in England so American accent helps out big time but what ive experienced so far is just flings and nothing more.

I over analyze way too much shit and so I pretty much the KGB/CIA of social means. This is taking in to fact context, body language, actions, expressions, and history. Which is good and bad. Good because I can read some one like a book and be right about them. Bad because it can cause paranoia which I haven't had when it comes to relationships in a long time

I certainly don't have a good personality, and it's rather the central problem.

That can be self fulfilling. Also there seems to be this undertone in the geeky or awkward that is somehow convinced that tragic is sexy or maybe it will be and it's an easy card to play since you can always assert your sincerity and insist that it really is because no one will ever love you.

It's not a good look but if you're convinced it's true it will be.

If I want to make someone like me, I generally give them something. Brownies are a good one. If you know they're dieting, though, oatmeal cookies are an alternative that can be marketed as "more healthy." Admittedly I have only ever utilised this technique to make and maintain friendships, not romantic relationships, but I don't see why it wouldn't work for both. People can be surprisingly easy to bribe into liking you even when you're awkward, aloof, snobbish and anti-social.
