well I suggest since you know what you have to work on...change for the better and get out there. You aren't going to meet anyone if you have no confidence in yourself.
Confidence is the expectation of success. It is a learned or conditioned response that comes after a series of successes. It's very difficult to be confident after a series of unsuccessful experiences.
What you can shoot for, though, is detachment. Don't get emotionally invested in any effort to strike up an acquaintance. An easy-going detachment about the matter can save a man from coming across as needy. I wish you better luck than I'm having.

Hiring an escort for sometime next week.
Wish me luck! 
All the luck you need is in the amount of money you'll have on you.
Be safe...

My recommendation is go out and rent a DVD of William Wyler's 1965 film, THE COLLECTOR, to see exactly how it's done.
While I do find the above comment hilarious, I can't help wondering whether Mr. Jack has seen the film MARTY, starring Ernest Borgnine in an Oscar-winning performance as a man in a very similar position. Might be uplifting to your spirits, chum. It's also good to remember that you're not alone in feeling the way you do, and that others might not be seeing you with the same self-critical eye you're turning on yourself.

The lessons to be learned from MARTY aren't applicable, unless one first makes a serious commitment to become a butcher.

Mr. Jack has said that he's a bagger in a supermarket, so the Meat Department is just a promotion or two away!

I'm sure there's a Mr. Jack following this thread, even if he doesn't happen to be Mr. Jack. That said, I'm going to bed.

Can a movie be far behind:
THE LEGEND OF BAGGER JACK?

There is no particular dishonor in having a compassionate heart.
I'm sure those of us who care about others will continue to give thoughtfulness to their problems when necessary.
If those to whom we give our attention are deceitful, then that is another of their problems, not ours, and one we can do nothing about.
The more sensitive of you will remember, I'm sure, the case of zippy, who posts here regularly. More than a year ago, it was apparent to some of us that his posts (and there were many) were not just off-the-wall and incoherent, but reflected a greater problem.
A number of us posted concerns and directed them right at zippy. He was at that moment, apparently, in a place where he not only could pick up on our concerns, but act on them to bring them to some sort of resolution.
The "new" zippy---although not posting nearly as much---is interesting, often witty, and nice to be around.
I am happy that he was able to pull himself up, and I am happy that some of us had enough humanity to try to help.
