Well, bizarrely, in the past two days I managed to start talking to two different women on OKCupid. It never rains then it pours. 

Both grew up overseas; I've noticed a pattern with this (2 out of 3 women I've been with in my life were foreign) and I think that with women from other cultures my social awkwardness if somewhat drowned out by the usual awkwardness of a mild language barrier and cultural differences.

One of them, a girl from Japan, has agreed to a date this weekend; I think I got in her good books by talking to her in what rudimentary Japanese I remember from my time there as an exchange student and studying it at high school.

Open to any and all pointers haha

Tough position to be in, you can only attract women of different background and language barrier.

You are doing better than quite a few of us guys online and you are attracting some interest from women.

Have you tried messaging or approaching ugly or older women of your own cultural background? More attractive a woman is the more attention she receives from guys.

I find approachable women are friendly at first but they play hard to get,  send mixed signals and I just walk away. I do not know how to handle the mixed signals and playing hard to get and past experiences have ended in rejection. It is easier to just walk away.
