Sometimes the thing that scares me the most is the idea that I’ll be alone forever (romantically at least). I know, I know, it sounds super cliche, almost pathetically cliche but it’s truly how I feel. And, in my case, I think it accurately sums up my situation. I’ve been single for my whole life; I’m 21 and I haven’t even had my first kiss. No one ever asked me out to a dance or a date or even had a “crush” on me in grade school. I don’t get it, like what on earth is wrong with me? I’m not repulsive, I have personal hygiene, I dress well (ok, maybe a bit modestly but that’s it). I’m not extremely ugly –I don’t look like Gollum or Dobby or something. I’m not a psychopath or antisocial or anything of that sort; in fact, I know a lot of people and get along with most. I like to think I’m a pretty decent/nice human being. SO I just don’t get it. I’ve tried pursuing guys twice but both times it ended disastrously on the first try. Every other attempt is usually squashed because, let’s face it, they’re not interested in me. I see all these bizarre kind of people getting into relationships at my college and I can’t help but wonder, what the hell is so unbelievably wrong with me that I can’t just anyone to like me that way. What is wrong with me? Should I just resort to wearing tons of make up and slutty clothes? Should I just man up and go to a bar/club and just go to more social gatherings (currently, I don’t go to many)? Should I resort to online dating? Blind dating? Or really, should I just give up on people altogether and accept that I’ll be alone forever?
