19 And Never Had a Girlfriend
Posted: 06-03-07 15:48pm

hi I am not sure if I am asking in the right place, but anyway I am 19 and have never really had a girlfriend. It is wierd I always thought I would get one. I am not ugly or fat I have a good fashion sense. I am so self conscious I felt ugly until I got rhinoplasty but it really did not change my nervousness around girls I once went to a movie with a girl and I was so nervouse I thought I was going to pass out. I am also so sensitive to rejection, I got the courage to ask out a girl when I was 18 and she rejected me, I was so upset I lost my apitite and didn't eat for 5 days I came close to blacking out on day 5 I forced myself to eat. I don't know what is wrong with me, now I feel hopeless I just feel like giving up alltogether. What should I do?

Look that anxiety is to worry about. You are going to be rejected a gazillion times. I rejected as much guys as guys rejected me. It's all part of the dating scheme. So you need to get over that. And let me tell you I was self concious like and I too had a rhinoplasty but I felt like a goddess afterwards. It totally improved my confidence at dating. Still guys rejected me no matter how pretty i looked. Rejection is good because that way you know that person was not for you. The person to be with you forever will not reject you. I don't know what I can say to you but to say that if you plan on not having relationships because afraid of being rejected, poor you, you are really gonna miss fun in life. You definetly seem to have a problem of low self-steem that i were you I would do something about it.

first of all stop whining and keep your head high. you said it yourself, you're not ugly and that you are attractive and has a good fashion sense. do not let having a relationship ruin your social life. you see, rejection is pretty normal, everybody goes through that phase, not just when asking out but also, say . . . looking for a job.

my advice is look for a girl and measure her up. i don't go asking a girl for a date if my chances a really low. I have to make sure that she can and might say yes. and always feel that the girl you're asking might not go out with you so as to lessen the pain when she does. She might have some reasons why she doesn't want to go out with you, not because you're unattractive and all...
just don't feel depressed, you're still young. 30+ men, i hear, still don't have relationships. . . it'll come . .

relax. stay confident.
and it' amazing that you have your heart wide open.
it's a great quality. don't try to rid of it or be ashamed..
just minimize the possibilities of getting hurt by setting some gates to the girls you meet.

if they past a gate, let her in. but there are many more. care, but don't care too much at first.
you'll do fine if what you say is true.

Girls love a man that is confident...your confidence level is low and that is obvious, people can read it. You have to convince yourself that you are a good looking guy and any girl would be lucky to have you. When you are hanging out with a girl act like she's your friend or one of the guys just be respectful. I bet if you can bring that confidence level up you will have girls chasing after you! Also, rejection is a part of life, men go through it more than women it just is what it is, don't get upset or down on the situation just realize that you must learn from it and that girl that rejected you was totally not worth your time or your feelings. I hope that you will take some of this into consideration. Maybe even contact mtv or something and have them help you with something like this, I know someone who did it and it worked out really well for them. Good Luck!
