I am a new reader in net.singles.

Someone posted an article about their problems with meeting nice
people.
My problem is not only just having difficulty finding nice people to
go out with, but that of finding a person to go out with me
period. I am a graduate CS major at Buffalo, and there are
simply NO GIRLS in the department.  I don't mean to say there
are physically no girls, but that there are a limited number of
girls I am attracted to, and all those are all TAKEN.  Since I
spend all my time either in class, or working on programs, or
studying, my only real opportunity is to meat girls in my
classes.  But all I take are upper level CS courses.  There are
more girls in the freshman and sophomore classes, but I am not in
those classes.  I am not good at, or the type to meet girls whom
I have never seen before at parties or bars.  And if we do have
parties(get-togethers)
for CS people (where I might have a chance to meet people I have
met before), no girls show up!
There are more girls on this campus (I can't believe- something
like 12,000) than you can shake a stick at; 10 (this is a hyperbole)
are CS majors.  I also live off-campus, so I can't get to know
girls who live on my floor etc...

I have now started doing things I never did before, like asking
girls out in hamburger joints.  Asking girls out who work in the
library, at the candy counter, information desk.........
At every occasion, the response has been that they have a boy
friend (I am not counting the countless that are engaged).
Now, maybe they don't have boy friends and they just
don't want to hurt my feelings. I don't know, but something's
going wrong around here.

After this many failures, in any other situation, it would
seem about time to throw in the towel.  But I can't, because
this IS one job that I can't just quit and find another.    
I HAVE to go out with a girl sometime if I want to prevent
insanity and have a normal lifestyle. Right now I am still 
sane (I think).

Well, enough for now.  You guys are probably sick of this
already, but maybe some of you out there have some comments or
advice to give.
