18 and single.

I'm 18 with no proper relationship and I'm single. Is there something wrong? I've never really had a man. How do I find one? If my mum feels sorry for me.

Sorry mate! This is so true.

There are so many guys who want a relationship, and not many girls. Or at least girls don't want to say they want a relationship, for some sorta reason.

That doesn't make much sense. It takes two to tango.

See, in my experience it's the other way round, I know more girls that want a relationship and guys that want to sleep around

It's equally 'hard' either way. If you get out enough, take care of your appearance (gym, hair cut, shave etc...) and have a decent personality you should have no problem getting girls/guys.

Thats ridiculous! Where do you live about, Bristol? Leeds? Oxford? London? Where is this happening? :frown:

I see it the other way round completely.
I've been looking for a relationship for a while now.

I guess it's subjective but some personality traits are universally bad. Such as a complete lack of confidence (don't confuse this with being introverted), bull****ter, acting/being depressed etc...

There's nothing wrong with you I'm 18 and single and couldn't be happier :smile:

Just enjoy going out and getting ready to mingle, being 18 is fun just go out and enjoy yourself and the right guy will come along when your not looking :smile:

Again, this is not true!

Just think about it logically. If there are so many single guys out there looking, then surely there must be a small number of men that are taken. If that is correct, then assuming most of them are heterosexual, about the same number of women are taken. Which means that a large number of women are available!
Logically speaking, there should be a similar number of available men and available women.

Empirically speaking though, I still think you're wrong. You may think that lots of guys you know are desperate to find someone, and maybe lots of the girls you know are taken. But to be honest, if you actually speak to girls, a lot of them will say similar things to you. Stuff like 'all the best guys are taken' and 'I'm worried I won't find anyone'.

Someone who can keep a convo going :wink: You have to be loud, approachable, a convo starter and you've got to talk to them on your own accord. But when you do, you shouldnt have awkward silences and things should flow :

Ever heard the term 'nice guys finish last' ??

Should really be amended to 'quiet/shy guys finish last'

Not saying that there's anything wrong with that, it's just that if you're quiet or shy, you become less noticable, no one really gets to know you and thus they cant really feel attracted to someone they dont know.
