Feel like I'll never have a girlfriend.

I'm getting on a bit now, and would really love to meet someone special. I just don't think that I will though. It really gets me down sometimes. I think that I'm a really great person, funny, caring etc. I'm way too shy to approach girls, and I think I'm not good enough looking - I tried sending a 'kiss' to someone on an online dating site and all they replied with was 'thanks, but no thanks'. I thought that we could've been a perfect match. :frown:

I feel worse when people at work talk about what they will be doing for valentines, it gets me down. I just want someone to share my happiness with.

Read this thread.

Define "getting on a bit"? Just, say, in terms of at uni/left uni would do, so I've got more of an idea.

It'd also mean you get more relevant answers, as if everyone tells you to join some societies it might be harder as someone who's left uni (though not impossible - give that a shot anyway :smile:

).

Do you meet many people through work?

MC Hamster, I don't know if that thread really applies here - that one's surely for people who want to be in a relationship because it's "normal", whereas the OP seems to be genuinely lonely and wants someone...I may be wrong.

You need to talk to girls and you need more self-confidence. Its unlikely that you're going to be able to attract a girl if you feel unattractive yourself or you can't talk to them. So, search this forum, look through the hundreds of threads on this subject, and try some of the tips that are probably in there.

There's more to life than having a partner. Enjoy spending time with your friends and family or just focus on your work... or buy a dog and raise it.

Have some faith in fate and don't go looking for a girlfriend in purpose. They usually come to you when least expected.

And if you feel like you will never have a girlfriend, try a boyfriend instead! :cool:

OP

I will be returning to university as a postgraduate student. The people at work either talk to me one day, or totally ignore me. There are people whom I've never spoken to before though. There's one girl that I do kinda fancy, btu she only works 2 days a week.

You'll meet heaps of new people at uni though, right? Can't you see that as a potential "source", if you'll excuse the wording?

Listen mate, I'd often felt like that. But it doesn't mean you won't meet someone, you just have to look for the right kind of girl. Try not to be so shy, it's hard I know, but if you have something in common with a girl then talk to her about that and then your friendship may develop. And like has been suggested, university is a great place to meet new people.

Not as a postgrad you won't. Mostly he'll be hanging with faculty and old people. I think this person needs to look into the usefulness of Dutch Courage in getting rid of those nerves. You don't need to get drunk, but tipsy will help.
