I’ve recently turned 21, have a lot going for me but i’ve never had a girlfriend
I have no experience at all, i've had one kiss on the cheek from a friend and that is it. I’m really enjoying my life atm but i do feel like there is something badly wrong with me.
I'm at uni and i've made plenty of friends. I’m in societies, I go out several times a week, I’m well known in my halls and I’ve got a job. I’ve been told so many times that I’m a really nice person and a good friend, I can make people laugh, I’m always friendly and people clearly like talking to me. I know so many girls and i have no issue getting to know and forming friendships with them.
Nobody believes me when i say i've never had a girlfriend but i don't know what to do. I don't know how to flirt or how you tell if someone likes you, i don't want to take the risk because the answer will be no. I don't have any confidence that a girl could be attracted to me when there are so many 'better' guys out there, either she would feel offended if i told her or her friends will go ''what is she doing with
him?''
I'm so insecure about my appearance, but i look after myself and I’m often complimented on my dress sense/aftershave etc. I go out several times a week with my friends and when I look at the Facebook photos the next morning, I always look hideous. No wonder nobody is interested. but i work for a fashion retailer and surely if I was really ugly they wouldn’t have hired me?
Some of the single people in my group always seem to pull and i've been told that i should just try and find a drunk girl in a club but i'm not good looking, i wouldn't get anywhere. Besides i don't see the appeal in snogging someone whos name you don't even know to 'get it out of the way'. I want to meet a nice girl and get to know her properly. Everyone else seems to be able to, why can't i?
I've got lots of interests and friends so i'm not spending all my time looking for a girlfriend, but i'm getting increasingly worried. Most girls would be experienced by now, if they met someone in my situation it would be such a downgrade. I'm starting to fear it won't ever happen. All my friends are or have been in a relationship and when this topic comes up i always feel so left out.
Sorry this is so long but what can i do?
