Is it normal i'm 20 years old but i've never been asked out/kissed?
I'm pretty depressed about this tbh.
I'm honestly positive that my facial features play a huge part in this. I'm really nice to people and I have a playful, fun personality where I smile at literally anything. But unfortunately, my face is rather... well, now that I'm a mature adult in university, I've grown to accept the fact that I'm less than average in terms of appearance and I'm still able to confidently speak in public despite previously having social anxiety/self-esteem issues in high school. No "I'm sure you're beautiful" BS, please. I've heard a countless number of times from people who have seen me in real life that I'm not attractive. And I don't mind. Really. There's nothing I can do about my face.
I'm also pretty short and verrrry skinny, averaging around 5'0 ft and 96 pounds - yeah, I'm a 5ft 20 year old, pretty sad lol - whereas the men my age are usually hitting up to 6ft, sometimes higher, so I'm pretty sure that may have something to do with it. I look like a child in comparison. Perhaps that's why they can't take me seriously? Does anyone else have that problem?
Some people have encouraged me to take the stand and ask the guy out instead. Tbh, I'm confident, but not THAT confident. There was one guy I asked out - he seemed really nice and we used to have lovely conversations and it took me everything I had to bulk up the courage to ask him out, but it ended up with him laughing at me and rejecting me with the most incredulous expression. It was really, really embarrassing and I don't think I could ever do that again.
I'm not sure what to do anymore. My friends and I always joke around how I'll be a 40 year old virgin. I've never kissed a guy, let alone dated one and I'm practically finished my university experience.
Is there anyone else experiencing the same thing? Any advice?
Thanks for reading this. I really appreciate it. And sorry for the essay, I really had to let this out somewhere.
