Hi Tom,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. I hear you as being mature and thoughtful with a fair helping of self criticism thrown in. We all need to love and be loved and you possess all the attributes you need within you.

Could you be defeating yourself before you embark by bringing your past into the present? This can subliminally transfer to others as a lack of confidence - you're not in school anymore; in fact you are your own man now.

So many individual traits give us personality - do you have a good sense of humour, a special interest, love animals? Pursuing what you enjoy is the best way to source kindred spirits. Sometimes you don't need to do anything else but be yourself and things fall into place.

It's not so much a case of 'finding' but 'feeling' comfortable around prospectives. If you are worrying more about how you are being perceived, then you might be neglecting what's most important: giving all your time and attention to the other.

People will not see the real you until you accept that you are not your academia, your looks, your voice, hair, or the shoes you wear - that's only the illusion.

You are still young and experience will have its share of knockbacks - we are none of us immune from this right of passage. Above all, show interest and respect for those you are with - they may have the same feelings of insecurity that require your compassion also.

Regards,

t.

Hi tom122727

I also had a similar experience before when some girls dont like me, I dont know that whether in their eyes I am good looking or bad looking, but luckily there were also a few girls interested in me, so I would say maybe I am not handsome, but I can be lovable, what do I actually mean by that ? Actually girls who I dated with or girls who I and her had feelings for each other but we could not go far because of some reasons, I think simply because I saw them as a friend first, at first I did not think much about getting in a relationship at that point, I saw them studying and talking passionately about a subject, and I am a curious person, so I just try to talk with them moderately without much any intention, but then things just came naturally. People may mistake a little bit we should have to come and talk with every girl and in one or two nights they will become our forever relationship, to me, it does happen as exceptions, however, sometimes we are not those exceptions, so I would like to be a normal person to take an effort, maybe actually not an effort, I just want to be friends by talking normal topics, topics they are interested and they are also topics I wanna know,...etc the rest if I and she can become a couple afterwards, I would be glad to, if not I would have a wonderful friend. Besides, I think nobody is ugly, everyone has a beauty side that they themselves may not know, some are easy to spot out and some are hidden to find out, but sometimes I think something hard and hidden may be worthwhile and long-lasting do you think so ?

ik that no girl wants me i have tried and no girl here locally within Australia dont seem to be interested in me and also they have an attitude i just dont understand im in an online relationship with a girl from the united states

Hi Tom,

I had a similar time like you. I tried but never had a girlfriend throughout my teens into my 20s. I wanted one so badly but could not make it happen. When I was 24 I asked a girl out and she yes. I did not know what to do and i ran away. True, I physically ran away.

well I track down her number, called her and she still want to go on a date. The date did not go well, I had very little skills in talking with girls. But she gave me a kiss. Best experience of my life.

You are more advance than I was at 22. Good luck finding that girl for you.

its 2022 and i havent got a girlfriend yet another 2 years has passed im turnign 24 this year still no gf or anything cause i guess the covid pandemic has got everyone scared to but ik that no girl would be into me regardless of a pandemic

Hey tom122727,

The last two years of covid have been really tough and I'm sorry you still haven't had the chance to meet and connect with anyone. Being single can be really hard on our self-esteem because it feels like no one will love us, and we can really pick apart our own faults.

I understand you've been abused in the past and it sounds like you are feeling really down at the moment. Do you have any support like a psychologist or doctor, or even just friends or family who you can share these kinds of struggles with?

Relationship issues can feel really isolating sometimes, and in my own experience, it's a lot easier to manage when you have people to talk to.

James
