Don't know what more I can do to get a girlfriend at age 22

I am a 22 year old virgin, I have never had a gf and have never done anything physical with a girl. I would say I am quite outgoing and over the past 2 years at uni I have gone to plenty of clubs and social events. I'd say im not even the ugliest, with a height of 6'2 and a beard. I have been rejected by at least 5 girls, and have been in 3 talking stages which haven't worked out. I have only ever been on one date. I don't really know what more I can do at this point. My worst fear is people start calling me desperate if I do attempt to approach any other girls.

Hey, I get that it can be frustrating when things don’t seem to be working out the way you want them to, but try not to be too hard on yourself. Having a girlfriend isn’t the end-all, be-all of life. Relationships happen when you least expect them, and the more you focus on enjoying your own journey—pursuing hobbies, building friendships, and growing as a person—the more attractive you’ll naturally become to the right person. Use this time to figure out what makes you happy and fulfilled on your own, and trust that the right relationship will come when the time is right. You’re still young, and there’s no rush!🤍

Thanks for the advice! But i don't want to sound rude but literally everyone has told me it will happen when you least expect it, but that's still so demoralising cos that isn't really a given. I would say I do have other stuff I can focus on, but at some point when that many failed attemepts you do start to think if you are the issue

I agree that saying it'll happen when you least expect it is bad advice for men as men are generally the initiators, so clearly it happens for most men when they're putting in the effort.
The women you're asking out, are they known to you, and do you think or know if there was a level of attraction there (from them towards you)?

Just curious how did you get rejected those 5 times ?

Next time try this, it worked for me yesterday actually. The next time you start talking to a girl, maybe from a dating site or getting her number in person try this. When you first message her maybe say hi and she'll say it back. But don't go further, just say "wanna do X, on Y date and Z time". The thing is you may be a genuine person but if you staying talking to them over text, at a certain point the girl, not all but some, is just going to see you as someone she likes to talk to over text and not really care about anything more. This way you also don't really have the chance to come off as a typical "nice guy" over text which is worse than in real life. And finally you only message what I said. She will have no opinion of you and when you meet you will have a much better chance of forming a genuine connection as you are in person, without there being any pre bias. Try it and see how it goes. Hope this helps

Some of them said I was "too nice" others just deaded the convo when we were speaking via text, one girl straight up said no to me when I asked her to go on a date after texting for a month.

For some reason luck does change at unexpected times. I found starting work threw up more opportunities than uni. Dating can be tough, multiple rejections definitely knock morale, and it’s about tenacity. Remember that quite successful guys get multiple blowouts.
My recommendations are practice flirting widely, get advice from more successful friends, play to strengths and do what you can on any weaknesses, find a new hobby that you enjoy anyway but where you’re likely to meet like minded girls. More than anything keep positive and keep going

0 opportunities at school
0 opportunities at university
0 opportunities at work
0 opportunities at hobbies
not sure what else there is

You’ve totally lost confidence. Maybe try some counselling, the right person might be able to help you

dont know if that will help much, i dont think confidence has much to do with it, people just dont like me for many reasons
even if that wasnt a problem i barely met women at those places

Counsellors build up a lot of useful perspectives and if you find someone on your wavelength it can really help. Dating is about playing to strengths and doing what you can on any weaknesses. I do believe that if you stay positive, not always easy I know, there is someone for everyone

A lot of it is knowing the signs and hitting on them at the right time which tbh is fairly quickly as "you shouldn't keep a lady waiting" if they show interest in you. If you really want a GF, there is also no point in hitting on girls who don't show any interest in you, you're just wasting valuable time on someone who will eventually reject you or friendzone you and wear your confidence down. This sounds quite bad in a way, but in your situation and at your age I would go to a meat market club night where the girls are easy, there must be one at your uni / your city, there were a couple at mine every week, and hit on girls who show interst in you there, i.e. eye contact a couple of times, hanging around you a bit, dancing near you etc. I know these places are often pretty cringe and the music can be terrible but sometimes you have to compromise a bit if you want to get anywhere.
