dave first of all chill, you reek of desperation, and i'm a guy over KM of distance from you in the internet, I can smell it, imagine a woman.
problem one, desperation, a LTR should be her idea, you ask for dates, have fun and smash, only that should you be worrying
inexperience, you expect a lot, you need to go out more and learn to chill
stop lying, worse you not only lie to us you lie to yourself, we over internet can see it, you think people close to you don't?
don't think you are smart then others, the ones who does are normally dumb
try to be more fun you are boring and annoying
and its nor the first time we here say that
