I’m what you might call a conventionally awkward nerd. I recently made a dating profile with some pics of me playing chess, guitar and hiking.
Not going to lie, as someone with a huge lack of romantic experience, my confidence has boosted after seeing the amount of matches I’m getting from pretty much girls i find attractive.
This has given me social confidence around others, but the issue here is that I am absolutely shit at speaking to people especially online, can i get advice from those who’ve managed to get dates/girlfriends from online dating?

I’m a gal myself but essentially just be yourself. Don’t worry about coming up with a crazy opener line, most normal women appreciate a hey, ask them about themselves. Ask what their interests are. Listen to understand not just to wait for your turn to speak. Steer away from heavy topics early on
1) Be genuine and share who you are. Not everyone is going to like you and that’s a good thing. Being genuine will allow you to find someone who likes you for who you are.
2) Express curiosity in who you are talking to and try to find out what makes them a great person. Decide for yourself whether this person is a good match for you or not
3) Keep conversations light and playful in the beginning, don’t mention sex before she does.
4) Have fun with it
5) Don’t get too invested in anyone person before you meet them.
