Ladies (mainly college age): would you date a guy like me?

You sound like a great catch! If I were a chick in your class, I would definitly be interested based on how you've described yourself. Girls appreciate compliments, gifts, simple things....etc etc...or at least the girls worth fighting for. To improve your social life, you seem to be on the right track. Join clubs that interest you and you'll find girls that you have things in common with. I personally go camping about every 2 weekends so I could relate to enjoying the outdoors. Good luck in your search!
