aye. Visa debit ftw, any site which accepts Visa(credit card) will let you use a Visa debit. Most shops these days don't have a minimum spending amount either.

When buses and taxis let you use debit cards(some do), I'll be pretty much sorted.

OP, there's somebody for everybody. I genuinely believe that. Are you outgoing and sociable? Your chance of meeting that somebody decreases significantly if you're not going places/doing things where you might meet people. A lot of it is about attitude, rather than looks.

"Below average looks" - so do a large number of people, and they're not all single, are they?
"never had a girlfriend" - quite a few men have never had a girlfriend by their early 20s.
"Glorious vrigin" - kind of ditto-ing the above. Why does this even matter to you? Jimmy Carr was a virgin til he was 26, and people don't view him as a freak because he's open, honest and unashamed of it. Don't feel so pressurised to rush your life along.

As for the staring thing - you seem to be casting and viewing yourself as a freak yourself, so I'd imagine it's an extension of your own opinion of yourself being shown to others. That, and a mix of slight self-consciousness and paranoia on your part.

Cheer up OP, honestly, things will happen for you. x

Looks aren't everything. Instead of typing this why not just learn to attract girls? It's not that hard.

You could always PM someone here and send them a photo, for an objective opinion. Most people aren't as "ugly" or "moron looking" in your case, as they believe they are.

Last time I suggested that in a thread like this, it didn't end very well. I suggested posting a pic (either as pm or on the thread, I didn't mind), he said OK are you sure you want to see it? So I said 'Yes go on :smile:

', and he seemed to completely flip his lid, saying no you're not seeing it, you just used 'that' smiley, I can't stand it - and then after suggesting that either I was hitting on him or that I thought he was hitting on me, told me to get off his thread really aggressively... most peculiar, WTF?

Imagine what you have typed here is an advert for yourself. If this is truely how you feel about yourself, then this is the exact image you will project, and nobody will find that attractive in a prospective partner.

You just dropped a KNOWLEDGE BOMB on his ass

Dude, join the club.

OP just make sure you shower often!! its really the most unattractive thing in a guy if they smell... other than that there really will be someone out there for you- have you thought about joining clubs/societies near you to find like-minded people?

You say facts about yourself like you've never had a girlfriend and are a virgin like they are bad things and you are embarrassed about them. If these are things that are really getting to you, it's possible that you're conveying this in the way you talk/act around people. If you're not confident people pick up on it, regardless of how well you think you've hidden it. I'd say its easier to focus first on making new friends by expanding your interests and social circles - after that something may develop. but if you're focusing right now on a girlfriend, the perfect girl doesn't just fall off a conveyor belt into your arms - and realisation that its not always easy to meet someone who cares as much about you as you do about them will just pull you down.

Other posters are right - make sure you continue to socialise with friends and build your confidence and social circles by doing new and different things. You say you are below-average looking - to who????? That's your opinion - to someone you'll be perfect! Some people like big tanned and well toned blonde guys, some like business men, some like goths....thats the beauty of being an individual! And how do you know that other people think of you as a moron without asking? If you lack confidence or are not mixing, they may just be staring cos they are wondering why you arent mixing - or they may really like something about your style. Don't always see the negative or think that people are there to bring you down and make your life miserable.

Is there someone you can trust to give you an honest answer on what they think you could improve on, dress sense wise, looks wise, personality wise?
