Relationship problems

First off, sorry for the anonymous, but people I know use this site so...

Does anyone else have a really bad track record with the opposite sex?

I mean, being attracted to the wrong people, being attracted to friends and them "not wanting to ruin the friendship", mis-reading signals from prospective/actual gf/bf, not having a proper gf/bf until 16/17, having partners cheat on you, being told you're a really nice person and all that ***** when basically it means you're dumped, and just generally not getting very far, despite what a great person your friends tell you you are. Time after time.

Sure, they aren't the worst things that could happen, but they still get on my nerves. I just have such a crap time romance-wise, I'm wondering whether uni is going to change that, or if I'm still gunna have all these problems? And these problems aren't exactly the best thing to have on mind shortly before A2s... Guess I just wanted a whinge. Thanks for reading if you've made it this far :smile:

No, you are the only person in the world to have relationship issues and pick the wrong people. You are entirely unique and nobody suffers like you do.

Of course other people make mistakes! Of course there are people out there who have done worse than you. You think not having a gf/bf till 16/17 is bad? I know people about to graduate who've never been kissed.

It sucks at the time, but it will sort itself out, and as you said, uni is a whole new world of opportunities.

I know I'm not on my own, sometimes it just feels like I am. Sat in the common room, with seemingly every person coupled up, all slobbering over each other. It just makes me sick, cos they seem to have a really straightforward time finding someone. Thanks anyway :smile:

Honestly relationships come naturally when your happy with yourself... confidence being the most attractive thing anyone can possess. If your content with romance it'll come along without even trying. It's just the icing on the cake. Relax and take things as they come. Don't try and force any relationships: no-one wants to hear the "I just wanna be friends line". Try the usual push + pull techniques... they always work. Being too available and not being a challenge is a turn off no matter how good looking you might be.
Play it cool, don't rush things, and just be confident. The Jungle Book had it right.. The bare neccessities in life will come to you.

Thanks guys, hang fire on the comments about my looks until you actually see me though lol I always try and put on a confident face when I'm out and about. It's just when I'm sat on me tod it tends to get on top of me a bit... Thanks for the positive comments though :smile:
