Well, I hope this is not cliche, but it sounds like you need some work on the old ego, or chatting up anyone is going to be tough!

Poor is relative...ugly is subjective...and quite a few folks like the bald thing...

And I'm antisocial, but I'm married and doing OK at the moment...

Depressed...well, there's books, there's therapy, there's meds...are you having any luck with treatments like those?

I have started relationships while in the throes of untreated bipolar II, and that is not fun...if you have a depression issue, it helps (though it is not essential) to have some treatment underway before embarking on a relationship. Makes the whole getting-to-know-you thing a lot more pleasant.
Thanks for this!

Simply begin a talk with a girl about anything. For example you can ask "Where the library is" and then you will find out how to continue the talk.

Good luck!

Women love to laugh. They absolutely love it, and if you can make them laugh, you can make them come to appreciate you.

Have you ever tried an open mike night opportunity doing comedy? If you can get yourself up on a stage, women will find you more attractive, without a doubt.

Or just pretend that every room you enter is a stage. It will work.

From your work, support and threads here on PC you are far from antisocial. Bald can b a turn on for many women and believe it or not you are not the only bald man in the world. Ugly - well beauty is in the eye of the beholder and poor, since when has money ever made love true love, and in todays economic climate being pooor well you are one of millions. SO I reckon all in all you have a lot going for you except your apparent lack of self confidence. Do me a favour and get rid of that stick you are beating yourself with.

I think in my own opinion I believe that in order to begin a relationship , first you have to learn to like yourself. Personally I am Morbidly Obese, and unhealthy. I want to work on my feelings about me, and maybe someday I may be able to then concentrate on starting a relationship, but until I can learn to get along with myself, I have to put relationships on the back burner. I have accepted the fact that at my age and being Gay that most likely I will live alone and not have a romantic relationship. I hope you can find a way to be kind to yourself and not worry so about your physical appearance it is what you have to offer on the inside that counts.

Peace and good luck to you- kk101
