I'm 20 years old and a junior at a big university and yet I've never been on a single date in my life. I'm not hideous or fat or anything, but no guy has ever expressed interest in me. Is that normal?

    Maybe guys have shown interest in you but you've not noticed them. It's possible. A lot of people are very oblivious to romantic opportunities (I know I am).

      Yeah interest can be so subtle, can be hard to pick up on. A flick of the hair, a side glance...

    Okay, the "even fat ugly girls obtain boyfriends" comment was rude. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and what's inside is more important anyway.

    Anyway OP, it's fine. I had a date to prom in high school, and my first date alone with a guy was earlier this year (I'm 21). However I've never had a serious boyfriend. I'm fine with being single, but what I worry about most is society looking down on me. But it's good to know I'm not alone.

    ^IA with pacinoharmon.
    Basically same thing. I'm 22. You're fine girlie, don't worry about it.
    But also don't worry if you want a relationship, you can work to get one.

    It's fine. Listen. This happens for everyone at different times. Is there someone you like...maybe you could be the aggressor? Do what you've always done and you'll get what you've always got. Try doing something different?

    Never been on a date either. I guess it stems from how disinterested I feel about the whole dating thing.

    I haven't really either. If you want to get easy experience to just get over the initial fears, I'd suggest trying a dating site. From what I hear, girls seem to get preposterous amounts of messages (although most are creepy as hell) so you may be able to manage something.

    Same but I'm 22. Kind of afraid of it. Although I hang out with guys when doing my homework sometimes

    It's probably because, nowadays, guys are very intimidated and discouraged by the fact that the majority of girls/women reject the idea of dating or have incredibly high standards and unrealistic expectations when it comes to men so they are afraid to approach women because of fear of rejection. But i'm sure guys are interested in you. You just have to flirt a little or give subtle hints to them.

    EVER? Not in highschool. Dating is one thing, but you've never gotten a look or anything?
