Stop looking
Seriously, stop looking. My own experience is that it'll happen whatever you do. I met my G/F all through not feeling arsed to cook for myself on a random wednesday evening.

I'm not looking though.
All my past relationships have happened because I wasn't looking. I think that like Edmund, I'm destined to be alone.

Pah!

This!
What you need to concentrate on is meeting new people and being affable. Oh and being genuine, happy, confident and nice and showing why you're awesome.

Tried all of the above, in various combinations
I come across as being:

(a) arrogant wanker
(b) stuck-up twit
(c) lying

I've had some immensely powerful experiences in my life and have a materially comfortable life; I mean, at HDLs 40th birthday someone accused me of being an investment banker (Puh-leeze).

Why do I still end up sounding like a twat?

You came across very well
at Dok's bash. I didn't think you were any of the above

Thank you
That's very kind of you to say.

But - trust me - if you'd gotten the chance to know me better, I'm sure that I'd eventually come across as "Tim nice but dim" from the Harry Enfield show.
