Caught in a dry spell and depressed. please help.

I'm a 22 year-old guy and I'm going to school right now. It's been over a year since the last time I've had any sex. I've had a couple of relationships but they were short and rocky at best. I would consider myself at least not-bad-looking, lol, and I'm really not bad with women. I can walk up to a girl and start up a conversation and maybe walk away with her number. I've gotten several numbers and I've taken several women out for coffee. The only thing is, I'm having NO success whatsoever with bringing my aquaintance with a woman to the next level. I haven't had sex with anybody (not even casual sex at a party or what have you) and I haven't had any signs of getting involved with somebody that I'm attracted to. The semester's almost over with and I didn't get one smidgen of luck. It's killing me. I'm better with women than I've ever been in my whole life, yet nothing's happening. I'm so frustrated and sometimes I just feel like giving up on it. Is it normal for guys my age to be in this situation? If so, I'll take any kind of advice at this point. Please oh please help me out.

    Guys like sex 1,438,498,483,960,000x more than women do. You are normal. If you're not getting any action but all of the girls are honest and great to talk to, I say it's worth the wait.

    Do what Carly said. I get laid on at least weekly basis now thanks to hookers . Fuck, I have no idea how someone who has actually previously had the pleasure of enjoying intercourse, could go for over a year without it.

    You should look for women where they expect to be approached in that manner. Ie the bar club or Internet. Trust me it makes a huge difference because I'm more likely to respond to a guy sexually where I expect it to b like that versus the library or grocery store

    Thanks for the help, guys. I appreciate it, I really do. It just eats at me, you know? You're probably right when you say I should take a break. I've been thinking about just letting go for a while and see what happens. Hell, it's not like trying to hook up has gotten me anywhere, anyway. Lol.

    In my experience, 21-24 sucked in the whole boy-meets-girl-gets-laid department.

    You said you've thought about just giving up... Instead, just take a break. That's the best thing to do, and it keeps you from trying too hard.

    When you decide to take some time off, it's easier to make female friends, and it's pretty common for male-female friendships to become more in time, but it's easier when you're not trying to push it there.

    I'd say take some time off, get your head clear and don't worry about it. Make some more friends, study hard. Everyone has dry spells, and taking a break from trying will give you a chance to see things from a fresh perspective.

    When you see people around you hugging and kissing, you only see the sucess stories, but what you don't see are the rejections and betrayals.

    Before you have success, there wil be failures. That's just the way it is. There is a way in which you can find out why you're not getting any success: join a dating website. I'm not saying this to imply that you're desperate. In fact, that's hardly so. Dating websites present the harshest of environments when it comes to finding a mate. It feels like a meat market sometimes and people make snap judgments on you like how you will do the same to others. But this is where you will learn about women and yourself and where if you fail, you can easily pick yourself up and move on. I've learnt lots and I hope you do the same.
