Hi. Sorry to be troubling you guys with another of my posts.
Well as most of you might have come to expect, i'm still unsure on how to deal/react/handle things like meeting new aquaintances, trying to make friends with them, or dating or having an ongoing dating relationship with someone. Sometimes i'm even confused whether the date was a date date? Or was it a friendly kind of date? Being indecisive on almost all things doesn't really help too.
So, i'm just trying to see if i can get any advice/tips/knowledge on how to handle things regarding dating and relationships. Those that can help me decide, and make the right decisions. Or those that can help teach me how to act, what to do, what to say, or what to look for.
I've come across some articles i found on the web. And i'll post some of them here for you guys to read and maybe you could even share some of your thoughts about them?

Here's one that talks more on the Woman's part? Not sure if people here would agree or not...but it mentions some dating etiquettes or rules? So i thought maybe some would make sense and be helpful.

I didn't read all the articles, sorry. However, I don't mind giving you any advice or pointers based on my own experiences with online dating. While reading can be helpful, be careful not to entrap yourself with overthinking the dating world, it's not called "the game" for nothing. Learning or honing good communication skills can go alot farther than any bs datebook or website. Practice your listening skills too, you can do this at work or with your friends. Practice giving feedback, asking questions, remember to be mindful of personal disclosure during the first and second dates. Too much info, in other words, can overwhelm anyone. Try to keep a positive attitude and not be a complainer. Bitching about your job or ex's can be a red flag to someone.
Start there.

Thanks for giving the time to give your advice. I appreciate the effort.
And i understand how terribly long reading all those articles would take. So i don't mind it at all if you only read a few.
I guess you're right about trying to improve my communication skills. I don't really get to practice much though, since i usually avoid having contact with most people. I think it's probably habit and preference at the same time. I dunno what's wrong with me. Maybe my desire to change and socialize more isn't that great. Or maybe i have other distractions that take up most of my time. So i'm not really setting/giving enough time for my social life.
I'm really not sure what info is appropriate enough for me to give. So i guess most of the time, i might be giving too much unnecessary info about me or vice versa (asking too much info about others.)
Given my pessimistic attitude, i think i also tend to stray into negative topics and info about myself....hmmm...thanks for making me realize some of the things i'm doing wrong.
Please feel free to give any more advice that you think i need to know , follow, or consider.
