After years of rejection... I decided to work out. From scrawny and nerdy to less scrawny and still nerdy... BOOM! It worked. Any relational advice for asking the right questions?

    That varies from relationship to relationship. Good luck.

    Well done.

    I'm as charming as **** but I got married before I got fat. After I put on weight, I genuinely felt invisible, not that I was looking. However now, I'm definitely getting more attention.

    No questions, only nodding. :p

    Wait, how did you get a girlfriend without knowing how to ask questions?

    This goes without saying....but won't get anybody a girlfriend on its own.

    Keep trim, don't drink too much, dress smartly, be witty, engage her in conversation all the time (and if she's worth it, she'll recognise this and be the kind of the girl you want and engage you about your interests too, but for starters, make it all about her).....it's hard being a guy.

    As I said, I was charming as ****, but losing the beer belly really counts for a lot.

    Asked and answered. Some girls (not all) put a lot of store into looks. Or perhaps he has a shy charm that some girls find attractive.

    What everybody of every gender and orientation is looking for is the magic combination of someone who is good looking without being vain.

    Wait, what do you want to ask? Why are you interrogating her?

    Not answered by the OP. Your answer doesn't count.

    You know.. I don't know how it happened. I just kept nodding (#MsJulesRenee) and... I guess I'm doing it backwards ;)

    Oh. Well, ask her how her day went and build off of that.

    That was your confidence, not your looks.
    If it's because of your looks, then she's not worth more than.....

    Every mature person in a stable relationship will simply say "be the best version of yourself". Then hopefully when you have an off day (you get yelled at by your boss or get a parking ticket you didn't deserve) she'll know that you're a decent guy and will put up with you. Ask her questions and listen.

    (Also it wasn't relevant during my dating days, but turn off your smart phone. Was in a restaurant recently with my daughter and a couple were on a date beside me. The guy turned off his phone in front of the date at the start...absolute killer move.)

    Definitely! Unfortunately, people do notice you A LOT more if you are fit. BUT being fit benefits you in more ways then just looks :)

    Just go slowly and pay attention to her. You might listen to that song, Dear Future Husband as well. :)B)<3:o:D

    Just get the basics out of the way. How often can we have sex? What cleaning am I responsible for? What bills do I pay? Probably in that order. Everything else will work itself out.

    Right on!

    Congrats on your new self confidence. It must be showing.

    You could maybe ask her how she is with money, if she wants kids, if she's hoping to be married some day, if religion is important to her, what she wants out of life... you know... get the big stuff out of the way so you know if you're compatible/looking for the same thing right now.

    Congratulations. Your personality couldn't find you a good woman, so you managed to find someone who is more interested in your physique.

    Agreed. Before I talked to her I told myself, "20 seconds of of embarrassing confidence." And it worked :)

    LOL I wish I could get that sort of clarity out of my boyfriend! That's just too d**m easy!
