27M no girlfriend

Hi all I have never had a girlfriend before or had sex and sometimes I feel depressed about it. I try not to focus on it too much and focus on myself. I try not to get jealous of other people's relationships as sometimes it just gets to me when the girl prefers the other guy. All I do is be myself and try to be confident around girls but at the end of the day, they are just people.

I think it is mainly a lack of confidence I just need to stop being shy around girls as it makes me feel like a creep. I just need to know how to stop being jealous of other people's relationships and become confident and not a simp. I consider myself an attractive person but it is confidence that is mainly the key.

What does your face look like? People say looks aren't everything but looks are actually 80% of the challenge. For some people, there is no hope unless they lower their standards.

Believe me, its not you at all. From the sounds of it, it seems you are very decent and a good guy, not like those players and people doing casual hook-ups.
You've said that your appearance is relatively ok, so maybe its just to do with confidence or being able to have a conversation with women.
What about your hobbies or your work? What are they like?
Women tend to want to speak with someone who is interesting or have things to talk about.

Try getting lean, you look a little fat though maybe you just have a bloated skull

You're not bad looking at all, maybe the face is a little big and you're got a bit of fat which you can easily go gym and sort it. I've seen lots of guys that look alot worse and still manage to date lots of people so you can also try working on your confidence a bit.

No point in being in a relationship or having sex for it's own sake. Take time, find the right person, and take it from there.

I know what I want, and am not settling for anything less than that. I'm single for a long time and sometimes frustrated by it, but far happier than if I settled down with the wrong person. At least this way I can't blame anyone but myself for whatever I think is wrong with my life.

I went for compromises, or rather compromised on the wrong things in the past, and it did me no favours. I've known lots of people who were/are in relationships, mainly out of either convenience, stigma associated with being single (other people judging), for the sex, or because they feel terribly anxious/insecure if they're not in a relationship and their life starts derailing. I don't think any of those reasons are good enough to enter a relationship. More genuine depth might evolve as the relationship continues, but it also might not and just be a pointless or even traumatic waste of years of your life.
