23 and never had a boyfriend.

But you just said you are crap at flirting and all that jazz.

Guys normally don't ask out someone who appears to have no interest in them. Unless you can learn to flirt etc and have way to subtle show you like someone actually asking them may be the best option you have.

Also the potential to find someone who you may spend the rest fo your life with is more important than some petty desire to be asked out

Yeah, that is true, but it is hard not to have that fear. I think females fear this always because guys tend to be a lot more relaxed with who they go out with. I may not get rejected, but how will I know he is actually interested in ME. Not just the concept of having a girlfriend? Even if I found out after a few weeks, just knowing I spent time with someone who didn't even like me for a few weeks and wasted my time would make me feel bad especially since I already know that it can happen. My family is not religious but they are old-fashioned. My mom and all her sisters. They would never stop talking about it if they found out asked out a guy. If I did get a boyfriend this way, they probably wouldn't even consider him a real boyfriend for me. I think guys are kind of weird anyway. I have noticed some flirting with my friends and then acting cold the next day.

I don't think you'd be interested if you actually met me. People tell me I am weird. Why haven't you had a girlfriend though? I mean, guys may not like what I'm going to say but I really think it's easier for guys. Guys think any girl can get a bf and it is just not true. I am proof of that.

I'm 21 and I've never had a boyfriend either! But I'm just focusing on me, being happy and building an empire to be honest.

Maybe. Probably. I don't know but what I do believe in is, is that before a person dies that they would have been in at least one relationship. Whether that be the only relationship till death due them part, or a relationship that ended with them breaking up, at least they would have had that relationship.

Oh really? So does that mean if I wasn't anonymous it would change your opinion? I am still technically anonymous as no one here knows how I look. So what exactly is your point? Notice that nowhere in my post did I mention my looks. I don't care if people think I am ugly. Maybe I am since people say if you are an attractive female you will get asked out. I do not, so I probably am not attractive. I don't need to be told that I am just to make me feel better. It won't change the fact that I am single and that's what upsets me. Not my looks. Fyi, I am average looking imo.

That's not always true. You just say that to give yourself hope.

Never been asked out
never been flirted with
never been kissed
never been hugged
guys do not like me.

Help me.

So what if you're 23..I know life can get lonely but don't be in a rush to have a boyfriend, doesn't mean you'll be happy just because you're in a relationship, that way you might find yourself in one for the wrong reasons. You aren't missing out on much apart from heartbreak after heartbreak..

Yes and no I haven't considered internet dating. I have heard some bad stories and I just don't like the concept.

The things you regret most in life are the things you never tried. Going through heartbreak is better than a gaping void of nothingness.

That's like saying it's better not having any family as you wont have to morn their loss when they die.

I would rather have memories of having fun with someone who eventually I went my separate ways with than an eternity of being alone.

I could become a recluse and do absolutely nothing with my life, would avoid a lot of problems that are inherent with trying new things.

I guess so, I myself regret being with guys that have hurt me and wish I never loved them because the heartbreak can be unbearable though survivable.

Just don't make someone else your happiness because it can be self destructive..

Eternity? I know plenty of people that didn't start a relationship until 26..

Well I'm just saying not to force it because the person you end up with may not be the best person for you at all, guys could take advantage of your lack of experience too. Eventually someone right for you will pop up..

The sure fire way of not finding the right person for me is to do nothing.

Guys would find it hard to take advantage of me

I'm aware not having had a relationship at my age is not the end of the world but it isn't exactly a thing most people strive for. It wouldn't even have to be a proper relationship. It could just be casual sex. Just anything that could have given me a bit of experience. I have lack of self confidence anyway, this just adds to that. I feel like a child that doesn't know what they are doing and I feel like I am missing out on a part of life.
